This New Year was kind of cool. First of all what happened is that Marco Antonio wanted to go to the stake activity with his wife to dance and enjoy the new year and getaway from his old friends. He didn’t want to drink before his baptism but he couldn’t go because he had to sell fireworks to make enough money to feed his family for the weekend but we wanted him to go.
So what we did is Thursday night we went to his house at 7:30 and helped him sell fireworks, we grabbed a bunch to go sell and we went to the members house in the area and they bought them, we explained the situation and they were willing to help out, we only had a hour and a half to be out, we have to be inside at 9, and we earned 180 soles to give him, which was enough to feed his family for the weekend, we got back to his house and gave him everything and he was so happy, it was way fun helping him and getting the members involved. He decided not to go the new years party in the stake center because he decided to stay at home with all his kids and enjoy it with them. He is such an awesome guy.
At night, the owner of our house cooked us chicken and banana and we ate with him when the new year came, it was pretty fun.
Saturday we baptized him and the twins, it was way fun, Macro Antonio’s son baptized him and confirmed him and now their whole family are members, it was such a good day for everyone. Then we went to his house Sunday night and was telling us the blessings he has reviewed that he has some guys that want to work with him. The family is really happy right now and they have the meta (goal)to go get sealed in the temple in one year, I cant wait to go hear about it next year, it was an awesome weekend and I’m way happy!
We have changes next week so next week you will know the changes, I’m praying to stay here another change with Elder Puga, this change has gone by so fast, we are way good friends, we had success together, I would be so happy to stay here with him.
We have more people to baptize, yesterday several people came to church for the first time, this week we have a lot of people to challenge for baptism, I’m way excited for this week, the district is doing good. We have a goal to have 30 baptisms this month, 10 for every companionship, I really don’t want to leave, I love the people here and everything is going good, and I just don’t want to go to Lima, its awful there, if I go to Lima I will finish there, I want at least one change more here but we will see, thank you for the support I love you guys
