HERMANA MOSTERT ENCHORILLOS |
Buenos dias Amigos and familia!!!
Greetings
from Chorrillos, Lima! This week was an incredible week here in
Bolognesi. Through many referrals from members we were able to find 6
new investigators: Andrea, Freddy, Amelia, Lucia, Hermina and Juan. But
the biggest miracle was that we found Juan, the pareja (not married
couple) of a daughter of a rescued sister. Together they told us that
they wanted to get married as soon as possible in the simpliest way.
Their disposition to follow the Lords commandments is astonishing. Juan
and Joselyn just moved into our area and already have strong testimonies
because they were previously recieving lessons from the Elders in San
Gabriel. They have 2 cute, yet crazy kids and they are the funniest
couple ever. Its crazy how we can laugh so hard with them and then feel
the spirit so strongly as well.
This week we were also able to see our Investigator, Delia progress and grow stronger and stronger in her testimony, as she approaches her baptism this saturday. We taught her the 10 commandments and about tithing. She is so amazing, she told us that she wants to pay her tithing, not just to recieve the blessings but beacuse she knows its what the Lord recquires. We were also able to see the love and support of the members, as after church the Young Single Adults got together and filmed a video bearing their testimonies and expressing their love for her baptism.
This
tuesday we also had our Mission Leadership meeting. Where all the
Sister Leaders and Zone Leaders got together and discussed different
topics of the mission and how we can help the mission improve to achieve
our missionary objective. It was great and I learned so much! I also
got to see Hna Ramirez and Hna Murillo! Then Sister McGinn (Presidents
wife) and Sister Lunt (part of the married companionship that works in
the office) made us sloppy joes and dirt a worms for desert (pudding,
oreos and GUMMY WORMS). It was a great day.This week we were also able to see our Investigator, Delia progress and grow stronger and stronger in her testimony, as she approaches her baptism this saturday. We taught her the 10 commandments and about tithing. She is so amazing, she told us that she wants to pay her tithing, not just to recieve the blessings but beacuse she knows its what the Lord recquires.

POR FIN LE LLEGARON SUS DULCES! |
This
week, I also realized something very important..that American candy has
a substancial amount of sugar that drives peruvian kids crazy. I gave a
big bag of candy to the grandkids of one of the sisters who accompanies
us and they went nuts!! haha They also arent used to sour candy, so
they were all yelling ACIDO ACIDO and making faces haha but they loved
it.
Anyways,
this week we were truly blessed by the guidance and protection of the
spirit in every moment. I know this church is true, that we are all
children of our loving Heavenly Father and that Christ Lives.
Con Mucho Amor,
Hermana Mostert
