3 Baptisms this week :)


Hey family that is great that my letters got there, they got there pretty fast.  And hope that you liked them.  And yes as you can see we had our 3 baptisms of the 3 little girls, and just trying to work with their family now, their aunt and uncles are members and so they will be going to church with them and hope that they can stay active, we taught them really well that they have to keep going to church every week and they said they would.  And the Lord blessed us so much this week, we worked super hard and He blessed us with some really cool people to teach and with investigators in the chapel and with new investigators with baptismal date.  This week we have Andy, cleofés daughter.  She is so ready.  On saturday we went to the temple with the Callao Stake and we went with Cleofe so she could do some baptisms for the dead, and Andy wanted to go and see the temple so she even went and just waited in the waiting room while we went in,  I bought her a scripture case for her scriptures and she is super excited for her baptism.  So that is going to be awesome, she will be a great convert.  And we found this 19 year old girl that wants to get baptized also, she was listening to the elders in San Martin but then moved to my sector and still wants to get baptized and we found her and put a date with her for the 11th and then williams and Dina came to church yesterday so they are getting ready for the 18th and Abraham and Victoria are in Áncash right now getting the birth certificate so they also we be getting married and baptized this month, so it should be an awesome month.  A lot of work to do and to keep me busy.  And we will be knocking a lot of doors to try and find some more people who are prepared.  But thanks so much for all of your prayers. The Lord really answered all of our prayers this week and the week went by so fast it was crazy.  And on saturday going to the temple with cleofé and then 3 baptisms, you cant ask for more, so I am super happy with the work that we did this week.  And we will be working hard again this week to find some more people to teach.  I passed out all of your rings that you sent me mom and some more would be great, they love the rings, so please send me some more rings. BT and Brixston looked super happy, hope that all is well.  This week is the super bowl hope that you all enjoy watching the super bowl with out me.  :( :(  Hope all is well with work and that you all are living the Gospel. Funny story, this morning we got all ready and then I stuck my head out the window and saw the bus coming so we ran out of our apartment and to the bus stop and the bus came up to the stop all super fast and there was a ton of mud and the tired splashed all the mud all over us,it was lame, so right now I have mud spots on my white shirt, haha but o well it is life and the mission, just more experiences to remember.
This week we did something really nice for a lady of the ward, it is a widow and she has a special daughter that she has to take care of, so we went to her house and swept and mopped for her and she was talking
to us while we did it and she said that she was super sad because she didnt have enough money to buy an animal to have in her house, and so we have an investigator that sells ginneypigs, (Cuy) and so we went
and bought her 2 ginneypigs and we took them to her and she was so happy, she was like I am going to make them a little house so they have live in, it was so funny,  made my day.  Our zone this month
ended with 27 baptisms and so it was a good month for us.   Well hope all is well.  Just know that I love you all so much and hope that you are super excited to see me, because I cant wait to see all of you but
yes there is a lot for me to do before I go home.  Super stoked to see Machu Picchu.

Love you all Elder Stauffer
