Hola familia!!
DAD, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!! and.... HAPPY FATHER'S DAY YESTERDAY!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
Your surprise party sounded fun!! :D
Wow!!! Thank you for the reference. You have to send me more info so I can meet this family:) That's awesome, my own mom could give me a reference from Utah. The gospel truly is spreading all over the world! Me encanta!
My companion's name is Hna Alfaro.. She's my 4th companion from Chile haha "Ya po" :P (That's what they say). She's awesome! Y ya sabe todo igual. She served a mini mission in Chile a few months ago. She told me I remind her of her dad haha hmm.. hombre. But that's okay because she reminds me of RJAy.
I'm eating Sweet Tarts right now!!! :D I almost screamed when I saw them and scared my companion. We were in line at the supermarket, and I was about to buy a face wash and well, they were about the same price, (CARO!) Y bueno, I replaced it for the Sweet Tarts. I may regret the decision once they're gone BUT I really wanted them!! hahah
Ahh y MAMÁ! Rompí mi cámara o sea se rompió :( I don't know how. I am going to try and take it somewhere next week to see if I can save it because today is some sort of holiday and everything is closed. It took us forever to find an internet shop! Pero quiero mi cámara :( I can still see my pictures but the lens won't open to take new pictures. So if you see me take out money next week, it'll be for that!
Yesterday we ran out of coins for the bus, and it was Sunday so we couldn't buy anything to get more coins as usual. So we walked ALL DAY! We had 0 set appointments and a whole list of old investigators to visit. Either no one was home, they had moved away, or they weren't interested anymore. BUT we found a couple of people we wouldn't have found otherwise. Our list of former investigators live in a more dangerous area where all the members tell us not to go. (Pero todo esta bien) Anyway we don't go there very often and when we go there we don't stay very long. As we were walking some streets I've never walked before, there was a big group of drunk men yelling so we decided to take a more round about way to get to the house we were looking for. We walked down another street and there were only a couple of men at the end so we decided to go for it. When we were almost to the end it scared me because one of the men started to cross the street. My mind told me to keep walking but my companion had stopped. "Hey chicas! Do you have something for me to read because I've got all day" So we gave him a pamphlet and then started to walk again when he called after us again. We stopped and suddenly some other men came speeding into this warehouse he was guarding. He went in and started yelling at them. My companion and I looked at each other like...ummm do we wait or do we go now?
But we decided to wait. But when he came back out again he thanked us for stopping and said no man should have the kind of problems that he has right now. We promised him peace in his life for reading the pamphlet. He started tearing up and told us that he had to leave his family in Peru and hasn't seen his daughters in over 14 years. I don't remember how we got onto the subject but he ended up telling us that he's in something that my companion later told me is like the mafia. AHH! I don't know but it's something against the government. But it just made me think how much the Savior truly loves ALL of his children and has prepared the way for ALL men to repent!! I hope we can find this man again. He didn't give us an address but we have his phone number. I love the gospel and know it's the only way to help him!
Bueno, time to go now. It's good to hear from you all!! Keep strengthening your testimonies everyday!! I love you all so much!
Love,
Jess
