Hey everyone!
So this week we were able to meet with one of the investigators we have been working with and set a baptismal date. The lesson was super powerful and spiritual. At the end of the lesson, she asked us if we knew her brother, who turns out to be a recent convert that the other Spanish Elders have been working with. It was super cool and we are hoping that her baptism will help him become reactivated and enjoy the blessings of the sacrament once again. In the same area a few days later, we were just walking down the street when we felt impressed to talk to a man who looked really busy. We used a pretty classic "Hola!" to get his attention, and he replied with an equally classic "Hey, what's up". I felt like I still needed to talk to him in Spanish so I did and he looked really surprised, but started to talk back to us in Spanish. We had a really good conversation and it turns out he almost got baptized about seven years ago, but his wife wouldn't let him and they left everything to come to the United States. We had a great conversation, left him with a Book of Mormon, and set a return appointment.
Last Monday, we got a really desperate call from one of the Peruvian members (I love Peruvians), saying that she had some food left over from a Peruvian festival in Sacramento, and that if we didn't come over immediately, it would go to waste. It just happened to be our hour for dinner so we dutifully dropped everything, threw on our bags, and ran to go help this member with this very serious problem. She gave us pacha manca, which is goat cooked in the ground with banana leaves and spices from Lima. She was grateful for our help and we were grateful to be of service. We shared a spiritual message with her and went to go teach.
Hope everyone has a great week! Love you all!
