Cambios Emergencia!

Wow so a lot happened this past week. First it was transfers and I got my new comp, Elder Monzon. He is from Argentina so both of my trainers are Argentinian or whatever haha. He has a lot of energy, and he works hard but he is a bit of a spaz, holy cow, but it's alright; everyone kind of just needs a spaz companion. 


Elder Monzon



So an old convert of Elder Rodriguez showed up at church and so we started teaching her and wow, she's ready to be baptized. Her name is Valeria and she's 15 years old and has a kid. Crazy. But her mom and her sister and brother sit in on the lessons so we should be able to baptize all of them. 

So on Thursday the zone leaders sat me and my comp down and told us that we are having emergency transfers and we're now in Amauta 2! Amauta is this valley right below Vitarte and it is giant. What happened was President Amato received revelation, and we are needed in Amauta, so we split it in half with Amauta 1. It is this huge valley with hills and houses everywhere and it's a lot of dirt. For right now we are still staying in the same room. It takes about 15 min to walk to our area so it's pretty close. 


Amauta


We received 4 investigators from the elders from Amauta so that's good but the sad thing is we had to give up Valeria and her family but its alright because they'll end up getting baptized. We are teaching a young woman named Carmen and her niece Elizabeth and these 2 young boys, Anthony 12,  and Jhair 10. We got all of them to church on Sunday except for Jhair because it was too hard for him to get out of bed; wow but all of them are progressing greatly and Carmen has a lot of great questions, and we are answering all of them so that's great. All of their dates are for the 15th of September so we'll see how that goes. 




Elder Espinoza finished his mission yesterday so our pension made a freakin bomb cake and it was too good. Wow! Our pension has a flippin gift. 




The miracle of the week, I would say, was having Valeria come to church and teaching her. Even though she isn't our investigator anymore it was still amazing to have her come to church. I am way excited to get to know my new area this week. It'll take some getting used too but I'm way excited!
