Crazy how fast the time is all passing! This week I've been a bit sick, but I know the Lord has been blessing me with health, because I've been able to keep working each day without stopping, and I haven't had any problems! This week we had a great experience with contacting. We passed by someone, and I felt like I should talk to her. Her name is Adriana. Well, we talked to her and shared a bit of the Plan of Salvation, and she was pretty receptive to the message! She accepted another visit, and had desires to possibly go to church as well. Later I found out something while talking to my companion. He said it was the craziest thing, because he felt like he should talk to her, but inside his head he said "please help my companion to talk to her instead" and then I stopped and talked to her. Sometimes God works extremely fast. Sometime's he'll pass revelation and guidance to others to know how to work ebst with His children! I'm sure that my com...

101 Dalmations. 101 Missionaries. 101 Weeks. 101 Peruvians. Haha This week was pretty cool! Even though we've had a little struggle finding new investigators, it's still been a great week!  To start the week out, we had intercambios with Rimac2B. I went to the sector of Elder Baum with him. They have a reaaaaalllllyyyy long sector compared to us, and it'd take more than a half an hour walking from one side to the other! We were able to teach a few lessons, and also teach Irene, who is an investigator who was baptized on Saturday! We prepared her a bit for her interview so she could have a testimony of the Restoration of the Gospel! It was a great lesson.  On wednesday, I did a cool activity in district meeting where I hid some small candies around the room, and had the missionaries in my district go and look for them. After they looked, I gave them a scripture in Doctrine and Covenants, which in short says something along the lines of "Ask and ye shall rec...

Week 100. No way. Crazy! I'm loving the mission and I'll continue loving it! this week was full of meetings and we had a difficulty of finding new investigators, BUT, let me tell you of a great experience I had on Sunday... So, after making plans and getting people, we had 6 investigators attending church on Sunday! It was awesome seeing all of them! There were also a bunch of less active members who came that day, and some who aren't normally here much were also in the chapel during Sacrament Meeting. I had to give a talk, and when I went up, it was amazing to see so many faces! I gave a talk on faith and miracles, and referenced a few examples of miracles that the Savior performed, and I explained how we can work miracles in our wards and stakes too. I remembered when President Nelson gave a similar talk in our stake a few years ago, and I based my message on his promise that we can have miracles in our stake. In this ward I'm in (Ingenieria (engineering in e...
