Franco is one of the most intelligent and thoughtful investigators (or people) I've ever met. He's really taking his time to find his answer about the church and about marrying Jessica, this last week we set some goals and made some plans, they really do want to get married but they said they needed more motivation and like a "why" to getting married, but they said we're helping them out a lot and that they've been waiting for something like this to come. they said their main goal is to get married and Franco maybe baptized before I go home in September, it was actually really really touching that that would be something they want, I haven't known them for that long but man I've grown attached haha, they have a 2 year old daughter who's just adorable so that's a bonus. I'll try to get some pictures with them this upcoming week. But we asked them to pray about a specific date to get married and start from there. Really really really really hope they decide on one soon, Franco is progressing a ton, he just lacks that testimony or feeling that says, "this is true" he's going off of a lot of facts and ideas which is totally fine but we're trying to help him find that knowledge that comes from God, AAHGH, really excited for them haha.
There are a lot of hard times on the mission, it's obvious I mean I'm like a million miles away in a 3rd world country, but there are so many times that the people here just make it all worth it, I came to the mission with the idea to help people and those who are in need and those who don't have the knowledge I have, and that's it. Hopefully I'm completing with that goal!
So right now we're in Abancay! We took the trip up (down?) here last night and today we played some more paintball but with a lot more people, super funny. Tomorrow we'll be having interviews here with President and then Wednesday will be our zone conference and we go back to Andahuaylas wednesday night, soooo yah field trip! Hope you all have a good week!!!
