Hello Friends and Family,
This week was fun and we were able to find and teach many of
our investigators. I had and exchange this week with my CCM companion Elder
Bagley. It was so much fun to teach together and talk about all of our
missionary experiences. Here in Demetrio Acosta, we also had a good week.
Manuel (our 80 year old investigator) is doing well and he is understanding
more and more. We were able to teach him with a member that is 92 years old!
The lesson was super funny and it was fun to see them talk. We also have
another amazing investigator named Humberto. This week, we should be able to
visit him more to help him progress and come to church. He has a strong desire
to change his life and be baptized. We are still working with Luis. He has a
strong testimony and always comes to all the church activities. I'm worried
that he will return to Spain and not be able to go to church because of work. He
is the best investigator I have ever had on my mission.
Funny Story: This week on the way home from Morrupe (the
extremely poor, sand dune village) I stepped on something hard getting into the
combie (van). Not thinking much of it, I just sat down and looked at the man
next to me. In a very polite manner, he told me I had just stepped on his goat.
I looked below at my feet and sure enough I had stepped on the poor man's goat.
I felt sorry but he let me take a picture anyway. Here in Peru, it is not
uncommon to share a seat with an animal haha. I love Peru! I know I'm growing
closer to my Father in Heaven daily. I feel so fortunate to feel the spirit
every day as we testify of the restored gospel.
Love,
Elder Goold
P.S. That is my shoe and pant leg and don't worry the goat
lived. The chickens are alive too. Always makes for an interesting ride. :)
