i am so so happy to be a missionary. we had a interesting week
there was alot of travel for us we went to lima twice and so that cut
out a good chunk of our week but we were still able to accomplish some
great things. our wedding is all in order we are just missing a birth
certificate for the Hemana Liliana so keep that small detail in your
prayers because that is the only thing that will stop us from opening
another group in sayan. we now have 2 groups opened and the third on the
way. Centinela is still growing like a weed and have now reached out to
the surrounding villages like 3 de mayo. our newest group is in Santa
rosa and it is a awesome faith builder. as i have been comenting to
president these last few weeks we are going to try and combine these two
groups into a branch!!! it is so cool to see how the work is
progressing. i am sorry i havent been keeping you up to date on baptisms
and i dont want to sound prideful when i say that there has just been
too many. we are rounding the corner on 50 people baptised in the last 3
months and that number keeps growing.
Sayan is a small piece of heaven on earth too and if this sweet
family can be baptised that meens that it will be another powerful group
in zion. this week i was talking to president by phone and i expressed
our goal is to have Sayan be a branch too by the time i finish my
mission he asked me "do you really think you can do it" i just asked him
in response "do you have faith" he just laughed.
but with our vision and goals growing has also brought some bad
news i have waited a week to tell you because i wanted it to be a bad
dream. . . . my extension has been withdrawn. president dorius said that
he didnt feel comfortable saying to some that it was ok to extend and
then having to reject others. so we are back on schedule for february.
that made the number my companion yells every week seem so much more
real. yesterday he yelled 24 which means 18 weeks for me. i am scared.
today was transfer day but obviously we are staying the same. and
for that i am greatful. it is always dificult to find the rythem with a
new companion especially after a awesome companionship like the one i
have now.
well fam it is off to . . . . once again no idea what we are going
to do today. i am going to send a letter home for the bishop. once again
i dont know his address so i am sending it to the house so if you could
pass it on to him i would be very greatful. i love you all so so much
and remember that i am working as hard as i can
