ok im the worst at this whole write everyone and send pix that take forever to upload and get all my stories in. guess ill hvae to skip some. adn just hit the high lights. ill have more to tell when i get home
first of all HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARAH AND HAILEY! WOOOOW best sisters in the world right there, hands down.
also GO AGGIES! first day of school today! wooow
sweet,. so this week we had our second baptism! FJuan carlos, and it was a MIRACLE!! this guy kept getting cold feet but eventually we restored his faith. and the spirit was strong. and im pretty sure he knows he did the right thing. he is awesome and very special.
also, we didnt have a musical number, so naturally i volunteered. we found a guitar (which it was a miracle we got it cause the guy didnt have time and neither did we) and i rehearsed once before the baptism then performed i stand all amazed in spanish. then, the movie that was supposed to be prepared for the time when he was changing fell through, so....hna gonzales played more hymns in the guitar in spanish. that was kinda scary adn deff a first for me. but i was grateful to bring the psirit through music
it has been amazing. his name is Juan Carlos, he is 21 and he lives with his family who are members. he has been prepared!
he is awesome. he really accepted things well. we might have had to go over the law of chastitiy with him a few times but ,. i think he gets it. it was a very spiritual ceramony. we were nervous he wasnt going to make it. to be honest, there were a lot of miracles when it came to this guy. he almost didnt go to his interview. that was nerve wracking, after his interview, at his final lesson, he started to get scared and almost backed out, but through lots of prayer and thru the spirit, we found his doubts, brought a strong spirit and restored his faith. it was close!
but i think he knows he made the right decision. it was really neat.
also, i rann into a convert from an elder in my ward. Elder Harper baptised this lady karen aroruiz and we got talking and im pretty sure the one from my homeward baptised her! cool! terry harpers son
this week we taught some pretty poor people. my heart broke again and again. i mean plant weaved roofs and dirt floors and their prized posetion is a sheep to make blankets to sell. two babies, and an abusive grandma. why why why does the world have to be so hard. and its winter here! i couldnt bare to imagine those two babies in their dirt home sleeping in the cold. my heart. all i can do is pray!
also this week, i got sick. the peru is getting to me. i got a dang nasty cold and a good deep chest cough. but nothing is stoppig this missionary. also, it was crazy, the day after i sang at the baptism, i lost my voice completely! thats a close call right!! crazy.
but we are good. i found a hair and a bug in my food this week. yum! protine! and we have a church dog. yes there was a dog roaming around durring sacrament meeting. that was strange....
oh ya and tea and coffe are ok here i have had tea and coffee for breakfast like every day. (but its peruvian kind so its made different and president said its ok.) plus you cant really argue with your pensionista....thast super awk. we are looking for a new one cause she is drama
. welp thats the latsest.
love hna Gonzales
