BUENOS FREAKING DIAS FAMILIA MIA!!!!!
Como están?? Como les va? Yo estoy bien y estoy freaking feliz.
Well from seeing all your pictures from your week I can tell you guys have had an awesome week! And I am here to tell you guys that I think this week went down as the best week in history for the McIff Family, Because my week was absolutely amazing, as well as yours.
To start, there were changes this week and remember Hermana I. from Alta? Well she is in my zone AGAIN! Absolutely crazy. And now Elder W., our district leader, got a greenie gringo, so now there are three gringos in our room. Woo hoo!!!!!! My companion is dying. I would send you a photo but I forgot my camera this morning.... Oh well!!! Next week you'll have a bunch. But his name is Elder H. from Thatcher, Arizona, and he recently graduated from high school about a month ago. He's a champ!!!!
But as for my week with my investigators, it was amazing. Absolutely amazing. The Lord is blessing us in ways that I cannot even understand. It is absolutely incredible the tender mercies of the Lord. Right now we have about four families that are really progressing and like three other investigators that are really really interested. And we have a baptismal date for this month! His name is Jxxxxxx and he is an 18 year skater punk that is in love with the Book of Mormon. He is the coolest kid ever and he is inviting his skater friends to listen to us as well.
Super cool story, last night we were walking to the chapel (which is right in front of our house by the way) and Jxxxxxx and his friend show up in front of our house and were like hey lets share something with you guys! So we sat down on the curb in front of our house and said a prayer and started teaching about the Book of Mormon and then the Bishop and his counselor show up and so we ask them to share their testimonies about the Book of Mormon and how it changed their lives, we then sat there for a good half hour listening to men who were lower then dirt share there testimonies of the changing power of the Book of Mormon. It was incredible.
That is just an example of the blessings that the Lord gave us this week.
7 investigators came to church this Sunday with three families, we taught almost 40 lessons, and we are finding more and more people to teach. I thought the mission was good but this week showed me just how good the mission can get.
One thing I have learned this week is the power of prayer. I have started to pray every night for everyone of my investigators and I am seeing the differences. The Lord has blessed us in ways that I can't even understand. I am so so so grateful for the chance to work here and the chance to have Elder B. as my companion. he may only have 2 months in the mission but he seems like his been out for 8. He really is a missionary and he will do great things here in Lima, if he learns maturity and humility.
I am just so so happy this week. I know that the Lord is blessing me a bunch and I know that we will achieve great things here in Valle Sagrado. I am so grateful for all the blessing from the Lord and I am just praying that this week can be as good as the last.
But I haven't gotten your weekly letter from you mom?? But i think the photos tell it all. You guys had a party this week!!!
Well I love you all and wish you the best week of your life again!!!!
