hola!! This week was freakishly awesome! Peru is the promised land, I love this area and my comp rocks, I have never felt so comfortable with a companion so early in the change, we are the very best friends. She is so cool! I will be visiting Honduras shortly after my return, I promised La Castro. 

   So on Saturday hermana Julieta got baptized! she is defs the most prepared person I have seen on my mission. She is 20 years old and her boyfriend brought her to church so thats how we found her, but he broke up with her yesterday... his loss. Anyway, So about 3 days before her baptism we go to visit her and she was like, Hermanas, I have to tell you something, can I talk to you in private? My heart dropped, I thought she was going to tell us that she wasn't ready or that she talked to some pastor and doesn't want her to get baptized, I basically just assumed the worst. but then she tells us, hermanas, i have decided to serve a mission! ha ha ha ha WHAT!!! okay Julieta go for it, but you have to get baptized first! when she told us that her boyfriend dumped her she was like, I am just glad that I got baptized for God and not for him. she rocks! I love this woman! 

   So Julieta is part of a family of like 20, no joke. they are all really evangelic and the boyfriend was convinced that they would never accept the gospel. but we have been teaching them every time we visit Julieta and they have been progressing quite nicely. She has 3 brothers that are 18, 23, and 33 and they all do bad stuff. but they have come to church with us twice and they came to the baptism and when the mom saw them in their nice clothes ready for church she started to cry and hugged me and said, this whole family changed when you showed up canche. and then she came to church too and loved it! and her blind husband came to church too! he yelled amen and hallelujah after every word but thats okay. its kind of catchy, I found  myself doing it once or twice. In total we had 11 investigators in church! all thanks to the Enriquez family. I have no doubt that I was sent to this area to meet this family! After church on sunday we went with my district leader and he did a butt ton of interviews and we put 7 baptismal dates for this weekend! 7! It was awesome! this family is one in a million! So we were with the family Enriquez basically the whole day. We had an assembly line going. I was teaching the adults, Hna Castro was entertaining  the kids, elder wilden was filling out baptism registers, and elder potter was doing interviews. it was the most incredible thing! This Lord is way too good to me. 

   They live really far away and by the time we got back to Peru is was dark and we were all starving! like about to drop dead from hunger. So the 4 of us wasted an entire hour trying to figure out a away to find something to eat without breaking the Sabbath day and without begging the members. (we don't have a fridge in the house because if we plug in a fridge the power goes out, also we don't have running water in the house... I bath, brush my teeth, wash my dishes, basically any task that requires water... i do in the bucket.) so we don't have any food in the house. We got soo desperate that us and the the elders sat outside our house eating dried cereal, corn Flakes. De Repente a returned missionary passed by on his moto, laughed at us, then invited us to dinner. he made us eggs, sausage, and yuka. it totally hit the spot. 

  Alright well pray lots and lots for the Enriquez family. love you lots!! hugs and kisses! exito! 

love

H Out.
