Hey Fam!
Sounds like all is well at home. It is here, too. It's been an interesting week but a really spiritual one for me which has been cool. Actually in respect to the missionary work, we dropped like 15 investigators this week so it kinda went downhill a little. The family we have been teaching that had a baptismal date decided that they want a few more weeks to think about it. But suprisingly, I felt like it was a really good week. Several times this week I felt the spirit really strongly guiding me. We found several really really great families, reactivated 1 way inactive family and gained all the confidence in the world with them. Then, we also gave out several Books of Mormon in contacts which we almost never do (here in Peru, they accept things so you don´t feel bad then throw them away when you walk out of sight), but we felt impressed to do so and these people seem to be really almost golden investigators. So, we will see what happens. It just felt really good running around and teaching this last week. We also found the most golden investigator ( for sure one of the best I have seen in my mission) and we thought for sure that we would have a baptism in the next couple weeks with this sister, but as always, opposition in all things (2 Nephi 2:11). The grandmother of this sister came in and chased us out of her house telling us we were everything short of demons. so we will have to see what happens to this girl we were teaching. She is 16 or 17 years but it was a powerful lesson we had. It was a just a good week. and I felt really drained from this week. We gave 2 or 3 blessings a day and my comp still is a little afraid to give blessings so I gave the majority. It doesn´t sound that cool a week, but I loved it.
Thanks for giving Paisly that package. and tell Devin and anyone else back home HI
Well, I love you all I am out of time, but take care. I hope all is well back home. I will write again next Monday. Thanks for the package. I will look for it! Give the family my love.
Much love! Nate
PS I also am sending home some pictures in this letter. The first is of one of my best buddies here in the mission, Elder Gomez. He ended his mission today. He was my AP, then in my district. I have known him for the last 7 or 8 months. .. a way cool guy. He is on his way home to Guatemala.  |
| We can see why you might have trouble with commitment from this contact! |
The second, is of something, I forgot to look before I uploaded it but I remember I wanted to send it home. I hope it makes sense.
The third is of the last baptism we had. This is Jayanca you can see behind us. The town is really small, maybe 10,000 people at the very most. You can walk from one side to the other in less than half hour.
