Good Week

Hola a todos!

Esta semana estaba un poco enfermo, pero la obra avanza!

This week I was a little bit sick, but the work advances!

It was really good this week.

Great lessons. Elder Yangali's birthday. Drinking the waters of San Pedro today. A Family History event yesterday. And I don't want to write more because I'm hungry. But, I like to testify, so here it goes.

Fantastic district meeting last Monday! We talked about testimony, and how we can constantly bear testimony to ourselves, as well as others. Like I'd mentioned last week, each day telling myself that I'm a Representative of Jesus Christ, An Instrument in God's Hands, etc... It helps me to have that testimony and knowledge of that truth. Because while we can strengthen testimonies while praying, studying the scriptures and listening to other's testimonies, Brigham Young said that the time we grow our testimonies the most is when we bear them. So I invite you to bear a good testimony to strengthen it, about the gospel and about yourself. Christ never downgraded anyone, He always uplifted. We can do the same for everyone around us, even ourselves.

Tuesday we put a baptism date with Mirian for the 15th, we're going to help her prepare ot receive the blessings of the gospel!

Wednesday was good, when I first was feeling a little under the weather (it's also raining frequently now) We taught a family! Willy and Julia, reference from Hermano Washington, we visited with Hermano Condori. It was awesome!

Thursday we cleaned the patio of Hermano Washington, his wife was in the hospital for the weekend, but is doing much better now. We decided to help them out though and they have a much cleaner patio now! (patio: place inside the walls of the house that's what we normally have our backyard for, sees the sky)

Friday we had a fantastic English class due to a game Elder Yangali taught me, I'll share it when I get home, but it's this "Caballero, dice el caballero que le pase el lapicero al siguiente caballero" And you do it super fast, and in English, and it's missionaries, and if you screw up you're an animal, then have a sickness, and then a defect and then you lose all the way.

It was also Elder Yangali's birthday and that was fun. we threw a small party that was great, he was really happy!

Saturday Vallecito had a BAPTISM!!!!! And I had the honor to be the one baptizing. My first time in my whole life, 3 times with the first being because of not bent knees is pretty good I think. :D But Sister Evaluz is now a member of the true church of God and receiving the blessings of baptism. So amazing!

Sunday was good. Darwin came to church! and We had a good family history event. Then a lesson with the family Condori.

Live the gospel, bear your testimony, share it with yourself, then build up until you're sharing with the world!

Hurrah for Israel!
