I honestly cant believe how much can happen in a week. Elder Peralta and I started the week going past our branch presidents shop. We started talking to him and he gave us 2 referrals to go and visit. We were excited because the referrals are really where we see progress. Well it wasnt different with one of these two. We have only taught one 2 times now. Her name is Yesica. We went to visit her with him and can I just say how amazing was the experience. After explaining that the Book of Mormon is the convincing evidence of the Restoration and that the Holy Ghost would confirm that through our feelings she said to us, a little teary eyed, "It looks like God has responded my prayers." She had been given the Book of Mormon before we had visited her by President Moya and she has been reading it. She has asked God and knows it is true. We invited her to baptism the 9th of February because she wont be able to go to church this week as there is some test in Trujillo for all Profesores so they can hope to have work. This was only one of the two. We are going to go visit the other one this week as we werent completely persistent with visiting her that night we got the referral.
So I have also received another thing awesome this week. A strong desire to stay in Otuzco... It was so weird how it happened. We were walking around talking a little bit and I just realized how much I do like Otuzco even though it is so full of apostasy. I know that Im supposed to be here right now. I guess its to help out President Palmer in the work or something. Idk haha. All I know is that I love it here and it has been one of the biggest helps for me. Im super happy for this work and want to continue doing everything I can while I can in Otuzco.
So I still have not received the package that you guys sent. Im not so sure why but we will see this next week haha. I do have a request if you can in the next one you send. I left a pair of black pinstriped pants there that at that point was small for me. Im sure now its perfect but if it is possible, could you send them? My gray pants are practically destroyed haha but I still go on using them patching whatever that I can haha.
Well I love you guys a ton and hope everything is going good for you all. Love you all so much!!!!!!
