Mirador / Snow / Gleny and Doryan's Baptism

Packed week- Tuesday I went on exhanges (splits? I forgot what they're called in English)  in Mirador which was really fun, I got to see Sara who's still super active and is loving going to church. I also got to see Walter and Yaneth! They were very excited to see me after so long and we had a good talk, they are STILL listening to the missionaries and thinking about what they should do. Just gotta have patience. But it was a good time, a lot has changed. But Tuesday Elder Zarate and I got a lot of work done, cool to see who they're teaching nowadays and who's progressing. 

This week was so cold. Idk if I'm just a wimp and I'm still used to the heat but my goodness. So Puno has two weather patterns- it's either freezing cold with no rain, or a little bit warmer but with the most insane lightning/hail/rain storms you have ever seen, but this week the two decided to team up and that's why it snowed! It was awful during the evening/ night but when we woke up we got a nice day with snow all over the ground. I got super sick Friday and Saturday with the Flu and so it was just a mess BUT Gleny and Doryan did get baptized on Saturday! I just didn't really help with anything cause I was dead in the back but I was there for support!!!! 

The baptism went really well, Gleny's nephew who just got back from his mission baptized both Gleny and Doryan. It was a very meaningful experience for him and for the rest of their family. And I won't forget about Javier...He was very happy and very interested in the baptism and how everything went down, we're so closeeeeeee. But we're very happy with how everything went, Gleny bore a very powerful testimony after her baptism. I was half-dead but you could definitely feel the spirit, she'll be an awesome and faithful member the rest of her life, I know it. 

Me olvidé de encontrar una escritura para ustedes pero espero que tengan una buena semana, disfruten el calor y vayan a ayudar a alguien hoy día. Les quiero mucho!
