Hey Family!!
Wow what a week, that is awesome that Lucas is here, tell him hi for me. Straight from the precense of our Heavenly Father.. Well not gonna lie seeing the pictures of my friends getting home is pretty tough but hey we had a good week also. But blake looks great and hope that he is enjoying his first day home. Love ya blake. This week went really well for us actually. We did a fast last sunday to have more people with a date and this week we put six more people with a date. And one of them has been a miracle. Lander`s nephew at first didnt want to hear anything from us, his name is juan, and he didnt want anything to do with us when we were teaching lander. So we went the other day to Lander`s house to teach his mom Cleofè to get her ready for her baptism and juan sat down by himself in the lesson, and later that night we had an appointment with his mom and dad and his two sisters. And we went and had the plan to challenge his two sisters to baptism and explain to his parents that they have to get married to get baptized and juan was in the lesson and we challenged the two nieces for the 24th so they can get baptized with their grandma and when we did juan was like I want to get baptized too, I was in shock , I was like what happened, why is he so cool now. Yesterday he came to church and everything, it was pretty cool. I know the Lord answered our fast. So on christmas eve it looks like we will have 4 baptisms. And it is a family baptism so it will be cool ... But it was a good week of work. We are working super hard to try and talk to everyone that lives in our sector because it isnt very big but it is the best sector in the mission for sure. So that is awesome that I can end here in La chalaca callao. I sent you a picture of a tow truck I saw last tuesday and then a picture here in the internet and then the view from our room again, but with all the dogs that sit and bark all night eating the garbage.. It will be super nice to be able to be in a clean place again, haha. What was blake saying when he got home. We couldnt write last monday because we cant go to the temple on mondays here so we have to change our pday to tuesday and so that is why I didnt write last monday, but sorry about that. Yesterday was a joke in the chapel, it is so unorganized and it drives me nuts so now I want to help the ward a little more also.. We walked to the bishops office to talk to him about it after the meeting and i walk in and they are emptying olive oil out of the bottle into a big pot, and i was like hey why are you doing that, and they said, well you cant consacrate oil in the bottle, I was like please.... It was the first counselor in the stake presidency and then they all start to get on their knees and put their hands underneath the pot and my investigator was with the bishop , he is practicly a member but just hasnt gotten baptized, and the bishop told him to join in, i was like whoa bishop he cant because he isnt a member, he was like o ya o ya your right elder.. o man it was killing me............ I just want to feel the spirit on sundays again. But I will do everything that I can to help. Everything is good, that is crazy that we are getting down under 100 now, thanks mom for your email. haha Still a lot of time to serve the Lord. But just want to tell ya all that I love ya and that we will be talking soon, and yes I will be calling someday before christmas to see when I can call, haha so be waiting for me. Let me know how this next week goes for you guys. Love you very much and hope that all is well with Luke, congrats kod on the name. haha love ya elder J stauff...
