Elder Bednar

So this last week I had the amazing opportunity to see Elder Bednar. He came to Limatambo and all of the Lima missions were there. We got there pretty early and got some really close up seats. We were all expecting him to come and give a talk but he did it way differently and he asked us questions instead. We had all read 4 talks from him before he came and we talked about those, and he asked us what we learned. He taught us a good way to teach our investigators with the way that we ask them certain questions and it was great. 

All of the missions down here in Peru baptize a lot but sometimes we struggle with retaining a lot of the newer converts. He gave us some good revelation through asking us questions and it was just super fun to see him. We got to see a different side of him that you don't see in general conference so that was fun too. 

This last week we found a Venezuelan lady, Jenny, and she's here living with her daughters and granddaughters. She accepted to be baptized on the 29th of June. Sadly we lost Alexander the other Venezuelan. We had a lesson with him last night and all he wanted to do was argue with us out of the bible so we told him that when he was ready to be baptized to call us. 

My companion, Elder Bittencourt is very smart and it's fun teaching with him. He is a convert from when he was 15 and he just knows how other people think, so he's able to teach in a very sensible way that helps the other people understand why they need to be baptized. 

This week we will have the baptism of William so that's going to be awesome! We had to move the baptism of Kati and Saif because they didn't come to church again which was a little frustrating.  

I hope you all have a good week!
