Blizzard

So today was transfers! But I'm staying! I'm gonna end up with 6 months in the area which is crazy, super excited, but not excited about the fact that it's just gonna rain here in Puno for the next straight 3 months. 

This week was good! We got a lot done even with all the hailstorms and rain, more than anything I'm just happy to stay in this area to keep teaching Walter and Janet's family haha, they're doing really well, we're taking it super slow with them but if there's progress that's all that matters. Ivan came to church again yesterday, love that kid, he's also doing well, he's just gotta a do a couple more things and we're talking 'bout baptism! We're also teaching this girl named Sara, I don't know if I've mentioned her but she knows the churcdh is true but she's scared to make a covenant with God, but recently we've been able to talk to her about baptism and repentance, we set a date for her baptism at the end of November and hopefully she'll be committed to it! She's had a lot of baptismal dates in the past haha. Gabrielas awesome as usual, we're kinda stuck with the whole parent thing but we're still trying, I won't ever give up on helping that girl get to baptism haha. 

This week we did some service for an investigator in another area, I've never painted so much in my life, I think we painted the entire inside of a house, but a ton of fun, service is the best on the mission. Happy Mother's Day to all those in Argentina! Don't know why it's a different day than a lot of the world haha but my companion got to skype his mom yesterday, we went to a member's house who served in Arizona and has a billion american chocolates so I was content waiting for my companion. 

On Wednesday Puno got hit with a massive hailstorm/blizzard (I actually don't know what a blizzard's like) Of course we were walking to Totorani when it came haha. But yah crazy week, as usual I'm learning a ton, time is going by really fast as well, grateful for all the experiences I'm having, even when they're hard. But not everything is easy! Hope you all have a good week! I know I will! 

Alma 37:36

36 Yea, and cry unto God for all thy support; yea, let all thy doings be unto the Lord, and whithersoever thou goest let it be in the Lord; yea, let all thy thoughts be directed unto the Lord; yea, let the affections of thy heart be placed upon the Lord forever.
