Second, Jair got baptized!! And second to second, Elder Apaza baptized him!! It was awesome because people can only come back for baptisms if they are going to baptize the person! so Jair chose Elder Apaza so he got to come back and I got to see him and it was great. Jair's baptism was awesome. What was even cooler is that after his interview, our district leader told me that he is super prepared and so that was good to hear. It makes you so happy when you can help other people come closer to God.
Third, on the way to church this week we were going to this ladies house to help her come to church because she can't walk and is really old. Oh first, the night before we were at the church and the Bishop and other people were like hey she lives in your sector so you need to pass for her. And I was like ya ok, wait, can she walk and they were all like, no. So I was like does she have a wheelchair? And they were all like no. so I was like uh oh, but we just went and got a taxi to her house and got her in the car and drove to the church. But when we were getting the taxi this lady starting yelling at me in the street about juice. I am not kidding. I don't know her but she came up to me and started yelling telling me how I need to drink my juice. She was saying we can't because we don't have the money. But you have the money so you have to drink your juice. So I told her I will drink my juice and she left but I have to say, that was really strange.
This week was kind of crazy. On Monday Elder Vance got changed to a different sector. But his companion was alone so he came with me and Elder Hernández and we were a trio. And he is in his training so I was a trainer for those days so that was cool. He was with us Tuesday and Wednesday then Thursday we got a call and another missionary had to go to the hospital so Elder Durfey was going to go with that missionary's companion. It was crazy so we had to take him over there and we were all running back and forth. Elder Durfey is from American Fork. So I had an American companion finally even if it was only for two days.
On Wednesday we got to go to the temple again. It is so nice being able to go!! So peaceful in crazy, busy, Lima. Also, I am thinking of buying one of those Llama ties for every month in the mission but let me know what you think about that mom. haha
Other than that nothing super exciting happened this week. We have another investigator that is progressing and his baptism is for the 29 of November. He wants to be baptized and everything so, so far so good.
That is really all that I have from this week. Oh, and it is starting to get super hot here. Like in the afternoon it is death. But that is ok, I am going to get a good tan and then maybe I really will look latino. Maybe then people will stop shouting "gringo gringo" every time we pass them in the streets haha.
I love you family and hope all is going well. Remember to read your scriptures and say your prayers.
