Hey Everyone!!
Well this week went a lot better for us and it was pretty awesome!!
So i guess things are started to get back to normal now that all the
parties and things are over because we were able to visit a lot more people this
week which was awesome!
We were able to visit some new people this week which was really cool! Its
kind of hard sometimes when the members dont give us references to go off of but
we have to do the best with what we have got! So yeah a couple of the people
that we contacted this week let us in and so we have started working with
them!!
One of the investigators that is progressing is Blanca S.!! She hadnt
come to church these past couple of weeks but she came to church yesterday which
was awesome!! She said in one of the later visits that we had with her that she
had felt that something was missing and that when she went to church she felt a
lot better and she think that she was missing something because she hadnt come
to church! So this week we have met with her 3 times and the first time we met
with her we talked for a little while and she started telling us that she knew
the church was true and how she knew the Book of Mormon is true and everything
so we decided to extend her a bapttismal date for the 17th of January and we
told her to pray about it and she said she would! So the next time we went to
her house she told us that she had prayed but that she was passing through some
difficulties and had some fears and that she didn feel prepared to get
baptized.. That was a bummer because we totally thought that she was going to
accept and it was going to be awesome! SO we just invited her to keep praying
about it and see what God wants her to do! When we got to dinner that night we
decided that we were going to fast for her! So on Saturday we started a fast for
her and on Sunday after the fast we had a lesson with her and it was a super
awesome lesson!!! We could definately see how fasting had helped and the
miracles and blessings that God had given us!! Blanca accpeted a baptismal date
for the 24th of January and we feel like she is prepared to do this and she
knows everything is true!! That had to be one of the better experiences of the
mission right there!! It definatley built my testimony of fasting and the power
of fasting!!
Other than that the drunk people still come up to us and they always have
to talk to the two gringos that are walking around and the people still yell out
things all the time at us!! You got to love Peru though!! Haha!! Well thats
about all that was interesting this week!! I know that God lives and that he
hears our pleas! I have witnessed it first hand many times!! Love you
all!!
Love,
Elder Jarman
