LOVES VISITING MEMBERS in LIMA PERU - Aug.12, 2009

holy cow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so much to take in from you being sick to the van being stolen at the office! im so sorry to hear all that and ill remember to keep you specifically in my prayers. i miss you and wish i were there to help and enjoy the company of everyone but im doing great and another week has gone by and on saturday we went out for the whole day and tracted, visited less actives, made street contacts, all kinds of exciting stuff, and we had great success. my companion and i have 3 lessons to go back and teach next saturday and some other people to visit so im looking forward to that! the first thing on the list is to visit the less actives in the ward that we are assigned to. LOTS of less actives! anyway, we started off and the first person wasnt home but an old man was sitting on the curb and for ¨ssome reason¨ he was sitting on the side across from his house...obviously waiting to hear us :) so i started a conversation and by the end he said he was going to go to church the next day. next man was home, and was a little old seamstress who was doing a suit at the moment, but it was the most amazing lesson and the Spirit was strong! we taught him and he commited to go to church the next day and said he knew he had been missing that Spirit that we brought into his home. next, a man who was about early-mid 30´s let us talk to him at the door and we ended up teaching him about eternal families and he has been inactive for 11 years but was going to go to church to take the sacrament because he had to work, and he shared experiences from the temple when he did baptisms when he was 15 and a brand new member. we had a lot more amazing experiences and i would love to share them, but i dont have time, but my favorite was our last, when we were knocking the doors we felt like we should...the man was awesome and seemed weird about us at first, come to find out the evangelical church a block down told the people that if they listen to us or our book, theyre dead(he motioned his thumb across his throat haha) anyway, everythings fair here and the food is alright. i got the flu friday and stayed in for the afternoon of class resting and throwing up, and i just barely got passed the diahrrea phase. but miss you all and hope to talk to and hear from you soon
