People here are incredible, It just brings so much joy to my heart to watch the people progress.
This week was excellent!! I am sure doing wonderful. I will be staying in my Homeslice Parque Tacna for another 6 weeks!!! Its a good thing, because there was a lot of people that were gonna die if I left, hahah Mama Simonas birthday is tomorrow and she said it will either be the best birthday of my life or the worst!!! but hey were going to the Disco tomorrow for her Birthday to celebrate cause Im not going anywhere! haah I sure have been here along time, but my heart is here. I basically dont know what will happen when I leave...i think im going to finish here! We did a lot of work this past week, we taught a bunch of lessons, learned a whole lot, had a lot of fun, became best buds my comp and I. I just love this work, the chance to make friendship binded with the love of Christ! I could do this forever, this is where im meant to be! All of the families are doing good here of the converts, all still active and going on strong, Progressing. For example we taught Feliepe the other morning and we talked about why the people wanted to change there names to Anti-Nephi- Lehites! the guy has 2 months as a member, I didnt understand why until like last year! People here are incredible, It just brings so much joy to my heart to watch the people progress.
Investigator wise we have a bunch, One guy named Arturo. He has 19 years and he is really smart! He has been loving the chance to learn about the gospel, and is progressing really well. He came to church for the first time yesterday because he is always busy, but he understands the commandments, which makes me really happy!
The last store comes from a lesson we had saturday night with an investigador named Lucho, for a lot of miracles that happened this night, we ran into on of my favortie members, Adolfo, hes blind and hes just a straight up stud! anyways he was headed to visit this investigador so we said yah lets go. Anyways in the lesson we shared his conversion story and it was incredible, ill never forget it! He talked about how when he lost his vision by a mining accident when he had 25 years old, he went through a lot of difficulties and turned to alchol and then the misisonaries knocked on his door, taught him the lessons and he thought there was three people present, he asked the missionaries and they said it was the spirit. Anyways then he read the Testimony of Joseph Smith in Brail, while reading it we fell into a deep sleep, and heard the voice of the lord that told him to Read DYC12:7 he had never even heard about DYC, anyways he testified with all of his heart and Ill never forget the spirit I felt, I glanzed over to him and saw a little tear falling down his face, he was testifying with all the truch of his heart! I will always be greatful for this testimony that touched my heart so strongly!
