Isamar's baptism |
So last p-day we went to a place called Gamarra to buy some stuff for Elder Muniz. Gamarra is just this huge place where you can go and buy any type of clothing you want. It's about 6 blocks by 6 blocks and we bought some cool souvenirs.

Last week we found two new people, Yelina Izuierdo and Maracielo Boitron. Yelina is 18 years old and we found her contacting. Her grandma is a member but she lives far from her. She had been having some family problems and her aunts and uncles had some problems with her parents and so we were able to help her understand that through baptism she can find this peace that she is looking for. She accepted to be baptized the 28 of September. We also found Maracielo contacting and she told us about the problems that she had with trying to help her mom financially support her family. She is 16 years old and she lives with her mom and her brothers.
We had to drop Fabian because all of last week he didn't answer us at all and we were trying to take out a lesson with him. On Sunday we went by his house and he was there and we talked but in the end he told us that he didn't want to get baptized because he didn't have time. We told he to call us when he was ready to be baptized. We are pretty sure it was the influence from his parents because he had told us before how his dad told him that he didn't have time to get baptized.

Josep went traveling last week so we didn't have a lesson with him until Saturday but he's doing good as well. He slept in on Sunday so he didn't go to church but we went and we talked seriously with him. No one came to church yesterday so that was a little frustrating but it was a good week. We worked pretty hard.
I also had a chance to take a picture with Paolo Gallardo.
Jackson and Paolo |
He was a professional soccer player that got baptized in our mission by the missionaries and he gave up playing soccer because he didn't want to break the sabbath day and now he's preparing to go serve a mission. There was an article about him online and I encourage all to read it. Hope everyone has a great week.
