Hey Everyone!
Hope you're all doing well and enjoying the weather because it is getting
really hot here and were just sweating all the time now! Christmas is in a week
and a half!
Well this week was pretty good i guess! The numbers don't reflect out
efforts but that's not what matters. We actually have been having some success,
we have two for sure dates for baptisms the 28 and we have two that are
tentative for the 28th as well! This week were going to challenge two more to
the 28th so if best case scenario we could have 6 baptisms on the 28th and on
top of the 3 we already had early this month that would be 9 baptisms for the
month of December! We are helping one of our investigators get married and i
think its kind of funny because 18, 19, and 20 year old kids are giving advice
on why people should get married and were not married. I could just see the
investigator being like "what do you know about marriage". But yeah we are
working on organizing an activity do hermano Julio can get married and get
baptized and if he does get baptized then the whole family will be members and
they can put the goal to go to the temple! We have hermana Graciela who is just
awesome! She just needs to talk to her husband and let him know but she wants to
wait until he comes home from Lima to talk to him because she is hard of hearing
and cant really talk on the phone! The two set dates that we have are two little
girls, Noemi and Shantal, and they live with their grandmas because their
parents died. We are going to invite their cousins to be baptized too this week!
The work is progressing in La Pradera!
We are looking for another capilla for our branch because we have so many
people that on Sundays there's like 30 people standing because we don't have
enough chairs! We have more people attending than almost every single ward in
this stake but yet were still a branch! Soon they will build a capilla here
though and that will be awesome for this branch!
The food is sometimes hard to eat... For breakfast sometimes we get tuna
with onions and bread. Thats what we had this morning and its not really the great thing to eat on the morning, or at all for that matter. We eat sooooo
much rice! Two meals a day everyday we have rice! Although today for lunch we
had pizza! Every Monday from now till the end of the change in January we are
going to my comps old areas to say goodbye to the people nd one of his old
pensionistas made us some pizza and it was so good!! We eat rice with
everything and we actually have lomo saltado a lot but its not nearly as good as
it is in the U.S.
My companion is really funny! He likes to give massages to but he gives
really really hard massages and they hurt!! He also likes to sing too! He knows
quite a bit of English too! Sometimes he'll tell me things in English about the
people were teaching and its pretty funny. He sounds really funny when he speaks English and i wonder if i sound as weird as he does when i talk in Spanish! Its
kind of nice that he knows a lot of English because i can ask him about words in Spanish and he knows what they are in English!
Hope everyone's doing super well! Have a great week and if i don't get to
email this next week than i hope you all have a merry Christmas!!
Love,
Elder Jarman
