Wow... what a week!
So, WE HAD ABAPTISM! :) He is the cutest 10 year old
there ever was! :) We had his baptism on Wednesday in case one of us was
transfered. He is the cutest, he came in his white button up shirt ready to be
baptized. He's a little shy but he's been opening up to us more and more. He
was EXCITED to be baptized! I can't remember if I was as excited for my baptism
as he was! We are working with the rest of his family to help them understand
the importance of the Gospel in their family :)
Luckily, we had the baptism Wednesday because Hermana
Ramirez was transfered to Lima. :( It was sad to see her go. I cried. Like a "bebe" ("wawa" in quetchua hahaha). I learned a lot from her but most
importantly would be how to love the people. She has a desire to serve the
people, in so much that she extended her mission to the absolute day possible, December
26th. Yes, she will miss Christmas with her family by one day to serve the
Lord! I love her so much. It was sad to see her leave because I will probably
never see her again... Yeah, I won't think about it much or I will just get sad
again. Haha
BUT, my new companion is Hermana Odar. Can you say
powerhouse? She teaches with such clarity and power I can't wait to learn more
from her! She is going to finish her mission in 2 transfers. Crazy how time
flies as a missionary!
She has had a lot of trials but she is strong. The only
member of her family and she is serving a mission, WOW! Also, she is almost 10
years older than me haha and she is great! We got work to do here in Ayacucho!
With her being new here, I tried to show her how
great our area is because really, it is! BUT we had a holiday, "dia de los
muertos" - I think. AND NO ONE WAS HOME!!! I think we visited every single
house I know in two days. She'll know the area in no time :) Oh well, we got
work to do. :)
Love you all! Have a great week! I am trying my hardest to
serve the Lord! I love you all and hope to hear from you soon!
