Bueno...this week was so fast. faster than the last. Last pday was horrible haha Hermana Andia didnt have any money. Like literally 15 cents and so we couldnt do anything and we couldnt even take the bus back home so we had to walk. So we just chilled in our cuarto. Pretty exciting. This whole week actually we walked everywhere because yeah...no money. But thankfully its a new month so yeah were good now haha. We met our new zone this week. Theres only one other americano so yeah I didnt speak enligsh once this entire week. Its a blessing i think? It rained the entire week. Hermana Andia thought my Hunter boots were hilarious and laughed at them for a solid five minutes but once we were outside and it was pouring she wasnt laughing anymore. I was very grateful for them because Arequipa literally flooded yesterday. The streets were rivers and there were cars stuck everywhere haha. Last night after our final appointment I was walking in the street (because there were no buses due to the rain) with my boots and water up to my knees with my umbrella and a homeade empanada. haha I was pretty happy. When we got home our room was flooded and im pretty sure our ceiling is going to cave in because there is a giant puddle right above my bed. But whatever. Luckily my companion loves pringles and so we have a bunch of empty pringle cans around our room catching the water! Its an adventure! This week was the baptism of Isabel. We didnt think it was going to happen because on Wednesday we did a fake interview with her to prepare her for her actual interview which led us to find out some stuff about her. (question number four if you know what i mean) but in verdad it was a really spiritual interview. I could tell that she really wanted to take care of things and really had the desire to change. She just didnt know if God could really forgive her for what she had done. BUT after three more interviews she was cleared to be baptized on saturday. It was awesome. You hear people say all the time that people glow after they are baptized. But en verdad she was really glowing. i cant even tell you the change i have seen in her. Her son, Ronoldo, shared his testimony at her baptism and it was awesome. He was the first convert in their family (13 years old) and in his testimony he said that he hopes his sister will be baptized someday. (were working on her, shes very stubborn) but im just so happy for them. It was an awesome week! there is ups and downs to every week but you just have to push through the hard times....there is a quote that i really loved from a talk i read last week "Fighting through darkness, and despair and pleading for the light is what opened this dispensation. it is what keeps it going, and it is what will keep you going." I really liked that.
Anyways, i think thats all! Thank you everyone for your love and support! Have a good week!
xoxo HH
