How’s everything going back home. All is well here in Peru. We have changes this week so we are pretty nervous to see what is going to happen. I’m hoping that I get to stay with Elder Bonilla one change more, but we will see what happens. He is really an awesome companion, and our zone is awesome too. If I had the choice I would leave it just as it is, but we’ll see. They are going to tell us Wednesday. It was a good week We have a family of 7 that 5 have baptismal dates for the 26th of this month, and the other two are too young. I love teaching Marilu and her family because they are all so smart. We read 3 Ne. 11 with them, and they were practically fighting over who was going to answer our questions. Every time we leave their house we just feel so good. What an awesome family. We just have to make sure they get their attendance to church so they can be baptized this month. We also have a young man named Miguel who his mom and sister don’t live with him, but they are getting baptized in the church, Pentecostal. So we are hoping that they don’t make him disanimated. He’s a good kid though, we just need to help him to strengthen his testimony a little more.
Yesterday we had the first training for the “Helping families” in our plan of reactivation, and it went really well. We had about 30 people in the training, and I feel like the plan is moving forward. The awesome thing is it gets the members excited to go out and contact their neighbors who are inactives; which is sometimes a big problem here. If we can get the members excited contacting inactives it is going to help a lot to improve the Home/Visiting teaching which is terrible here. It is also going to help them present more references too. So we are excited to put the plan into action. It takes about 6 weeks to do all of the trainings and everything, but we should see the fruits of our labors soon.
Well other than that things are going awesome. Just working hard and having fun. I know that when we put everything we have in the work the Lord really blesses us, and that is what we are trying to always do. It’s amazing what happens when the Lord knows you are giving it your all, you just run into people that are ready to hear the gospel.
Oh the other day I was so excited. Elder Gutierrez from La Merced said that Walter Salazar and his wife 2 converts from Pichanaki are going to travel to the temple this month to be sealed!! Wow, was I excited to hear that. He was a contact that Elder Per and I ran into just sweeping the walk outside his house We passed by their house for like 3 different appointments and they were never home, and then one day we decided to pass again and they ended up getting baptized like a month later. Wow I was practically jumping for joy to hear how much they have progressed. I guess Hno Walter is the branch financial secretary too. It made my day!
Well thanks for everything you do. I love you guys, and love hearing from you.
Love,
Elder Lee
