Go Big or Go Home...But It's Too Late to Go Home

Dearest Family and friends 
this last week of this cambio has been wonderful. finished up with three more baptisms. thats 6 in total for me. ave of one every weekend. i am nervous for the next cambio.... ill tell yyou why in a minute. 
Preparing for the baptisms. SO EXCITED!!!

sandra. my dear sweet sĂ­ritual giant! this is the little girl who wouldnt eat or bathe until her parents gave her mermission. look at her genuine smile. this, my friends, is joy in the gospal. this is what the savior is talking about when he says be as a child. 



rosmari. she is amazing! she invited her whole family, none of which are members. and her eldest daughter, started crying when she saw her mom get baptised. you bet we are teaching her next! rosmari, about two weeks ago, came and pulled us out of gospal doctorine and said [ive been here two times, adn i would like to be baptised. what do i need to do?] SHE found US! idk if thats embarrassing, or a miracle! or both! she was very emotional for her baptism and she was extremely prepared. it was beautiful. 
our third

Luis Fransisco. his mom is the one who gave us a lot of opposition. he is the one with the wierdest family situation. his mom, isnt really his mom, she found him roaming the streets when he was a baby and took him in. his "mom" cant get baptised cause she is living in sin. she is living with a man who is married to another woman and they are too poor to pay for a divorce and another marriage. but she comes every week adn she has a very strong testimony. they own abut 100 chickens (hailey{s dream) and so after the baptism they served shredded chicken and hard boiled eggs. now this means A LOT for this family. i wanted to cry! and you bet i ate every bite! 

Luis Francisco, such a stud

with cambios<.
last night at about ten we got "THE CALL".... I ate waiting for that dumb phone to wring...
well heres the verdict.
my trainer, has been called to open a new are for sisters, train, and be the sister training leader! its cause she is amazing! also, hna boody got assigned to another area as wel.....
which means i will be staying. and i will have TWO new companions. another trio..... im getting the feeling i will be in a trio my whole mission. idk why. but oh well,
i have a lot of mixed emotions about this. but i dont want to lay all my weaknesses out before you so ill keep it short.
ive never felt so inadiquate, scared, or unprepared in my life. 
thats all im saying. the leaders said i will be the senior companion. you bet i shead a few tears last night. i dont know the whole area, im far from fluent in spanish, and I HAVENT EVEN FINISHED BEING TRAINED! which is sad cause ive been out almost 5 months 
but i still dont think one transfer in peru is enough to prepare an american.....
thats all. thats the latest and greates.t 
con amor
hna gonzales
