This week has been very fun, very hard, and very interesting, hard because the people we were teaching to be baptized weren´t and we are still working with them but they have a lot of problems, so we've decided to give them a week or two and focus on finding other people who are ready to listen and apply.
We contacted a ton of people and had a lot of great lessons, but one in particular I've decided to tell you guys about, so we were walking down the street kind of bummed because all of our appointments fell through and right then and there i decided to never again walk the streets of Peru without smiling and my companion decided right then and there to push through and find new people, we were walking and some one said hello to us (that's actually a change) and so we started to talk with them, and they have been amazing ever since! his name is Nilton and he introduced us to his sister, who introduced us to her family...etc and it has opened up many people who are really ready to listen and apply, in talking with Nilton he said that he started talking with us because he saw that i was smiling and he thought to himself, i would like to be able to walk and go and smile like that, not because i don't have problems but because i am with god. he now is going to get married (civilly) and he wants to be baptized and become a missionary just like us! we told him he could probably be a ward member missionary, and when he and his wife are 62 they cam submit their papers and leave on a mission just like us. he was so excited, he is a golden investigator he really takes the time to understand and reiterates or teaches us what we have taught him its really amazing.
So its just a testimony to me that the lord works in mysterious way that when one door closes another opens, that he is always mindful of us and giving us what we need. when we need it. thanks for the prayers they really help and ill send a few your way. love you bye!
