The Harvest has Begun

Not a very eventful week but I've been getting to know the members and our investigators a lot this week and I'm lovin it. We're teaching a million people and it's the best, a lot of them are families where only the mom, only the dad, or only the kids are members and are baptized. It's awesome cause the members of these families want to help each other out or are very interested. We're teaching Anhelo who's 15 and Victoria who's 13, they're parents are members but don't really want to go to church anymore but their kids are soooo interested, we talked to them the other day and they told us that they want to get baptized as soon as possible, (we can arrange that). We took them to english classes downtown in Andahuaylas and they had a blast, they also saw the baptismal font and asked if that's where they're gonna get baptized...we're just lovin it haha. This week we'll be planning with them their baptismal date and of course the rest of the lessons that we need to teach them. 

We've been teaching a couple, Jessica and Franco, they have a little daughter who's like 2 years old I think, but Franco isn't a member and loves having us over and reading the book of mormon, Jessica really wants Franco to make the decision to join the church it's really cool, Franco came to church the past two Sundays with suit pants and everything. I'll keep you guys updated on them:)

We helped our investigators Eugenia and Juan harvest corn the other day, I don't know why but I just thought it was funny, they gave us a sickle (I think that's what it's called) and said get to work haha. It gained a ton of their trust though and they were just making jokes the entire time about how we were doing it terribly when it's honestly just ripping giant corn stocks out of the ground haha, good time. 

Growing and learning everyday, finally adjusted to the new area so I think this coming week will be a good one, excited to see what happens with the people we're teaching, we've got a ton to do. I hope you all have a good week! I love PerĂº!

Alma 53:20-21 

20 And they were all young men, and they were exceedingly valiant for courage, and also for strength and activity; but behold, this was not all—they were men who were true at all times in whatsoever thing they were entrusted.
21 Yea, they were men of truth and soberness, for they had been taught to keep the commandments of God and to walk uprightly before him.
