Week 65

How exciting, Boody Chodo´s gonna write us all about Japan today!! or maybe we´ll actually receive it tomorrow with the time difference...who knows but that's pretty exciting!! 

Phew! This week just fleeeew by!! We had a gigantic family home evening Monday night, which was really fun! There´s this fruit salad game that's always a hit when there´s a lot of people that we played. they were all cracking up so bad!! 

So we´ve been teaching a legitimate MARRIED couple named Ericka and Michael! they´re awesome. kelly and helmo, a couple from the ward went with us to teach them and it went really well. we taught about the book of mormon and left 3 nefi 11 to read. they were gonna come to church yesterday, but traveled to nuevo chimbote instead...:( michael always has a lot of solid comments and questions.

Evaline is also a new investigatos. single mom of 2 daughters. she´s cool, but i don´t know yet how interested she really is yet...we´ll see.

Katharine is the niece of a member from the ward. she´s 15 and previously came to church before with her aunt. thought she was gonna come to church yesterday, but her mom said she was sleeping...

Yuriko is the girlfriend of a less-active member of one of our favorite families that live in our area. she´s great and came to church yesterday for the first time in awhile, since we started visiting her!! tonight we´re gonna teach about the book of mormon at their fhe. 

This ward is seriously the GREATEST!!! ward council´s helping us out and we had a TON of members to help us out and go with us to our teaching appointments. I could feel the spirit so strongly at testimony meeting yesterday. I love these members! they have the countenance of the Savior in their hearts and minds. I shared my testimony in RS yesterday and just felt so extreamly grateful for all their love and support. hermana mirtha, a less-active that we´re working with also bore her testoimony! she thanked us for visiting her and ended in the name of heavenly father, amen. haha hermana carmen bada wants to crochet my companion and I a sweater. haha mustard yellow puhlease! 

we´ve been getting to know and visit all the recent converts too, they´re all wonderful! juan carlos always has tons of questions and is preparing to recieve the priesthood. we always invite him to play futbol in the mornings, so he can get tight with the members. vanessa is a single mom of 2 and has tons of friends! we have a fhe with her tonight. alejandro is the dad of the family jimenez that has the goal of getting sealed in november, we visited them yesterday and just LOVE ém!!! oooh plus Josselin, she´s 13 and this week we challenged her to start reading the book of mormon from chapter one and have the goal of finishing before new years. the very day after from when we invited her, we passed by and she was on page 40!!!! IN ONE DAY!! we were so pleasantly surprised!! whadda stud.
