So, this week was awesome! We have a
fecha for baptism on the 19 of December but in the excitement of the moment my
companion and I realized that Eduardo is not married with his wife. So that
date will fall through. Eduardo really wants to be baptized; it’s just a matter
of when he can get married legally to his wife. We are also teaching a man
named Victor. He wasn't interested in our message at first but than I realized
how much he likes guns. So, my Spanish gun vocabulary has gotten suddenly
pretty good over this past week, haha. He has shown me all of his guns, even
the guns he made himself. Scary, I know, but he was definitely impressed with
my gun knowledge. He is awesome! We are just waiting for his answer to see if
the Libro de Mormon is true. I also had lots of chances to serve this week.
Cutting wood, building houses and even helping a paralyzed man take a bath and
go to the bathroom. Let me tell you, that was an experience I will never
forget! Peruvians are definitely shocked that white Americans can work hard.
I'm so grateful for you mom and dad for teaching me how to work hard. This
skill I have developed at home of working hard has helped me to bring more
people to Christ. My companion was sick one day, so we didn't get much done
that day. Also the Peruvian food has been working me up some magic! I found
myself running all week at top speed through the Peruvian streets to get back
to the porta-pot toilet behind our room in time. I had to buy a case of TP on p-day.
(see attached pic) Never thought I would be sooo grateful for TP. My poor companion
has definitely been getting his work outs in this week as we run at top speed
to and from the porta-pot. haha. Gotta love this work. What else can I say?
