Jose y JosB

Well this week was pretty interesting. Elder Burley and I didn't have a whole lot of time to work in our area, and it was pretty frustrating. There were a lot of meetings and other stuff that we had to attend to. 

Octopus anyone?

Well Jose got baptized last week so that was good. He almost canceled on us but he pulled thru and everything went good. Jose is the only Peruvian that I have seen and met that is taller than me. He's even taller than Elder Burley too; it's quite funny.

Our people from last week was another Jose and Corita. Jose has just a messed up life with drugs and being divorced. Corita is a single mom with her daughter. Both of them didn't make it to church and it was their second time not coming so we dropped them. Corita wakes up at 4 in the morning with her daughter and gets back at 7 at night from her work so she is always super tired, and she's trying to take care of her daughter. She will get baptized eventually. She'll just have to get a new job first. With Jose, we just need to be patient with him. He is a really distracted guy but everyone in life has just given up on him, and we're his only friends. It's pretty sad, but we are going to have a very firm talk with him about coming to church on Wednesday.

Last P-day Elder Burley and I went to Wongs which is kind of like an American store, and we saw some good stuff that reminded us of Merica. 

Last week I talked about ministering and how everyone is a Child of God. I have been trying to think more about this this past week, and it has really helped my love grow and deepen for the people here in Peru. I am just so glad to be out here ministering and working with the people of Peru. Well I hope everyone has a great week.
