Que tal mis amigos, hope everything's going well with everyone. This week was slow due to administrative zone leader stuff that I find annoying but needs to be done haha.
We've been going through all the Elders' rooms and sending off their blankets and bed covers to get washed cause that's something expensive to do in Peru so it never gets done. Also have been dealing with house contracts and people wanting more money for their rent so I've been getting pretty dang good at negotiating. Definitely a skill I've aquired on the mission. Elder Reyes and I have been finding ways to make this all more fun than it is haha, it's harder than you think but it's working. The little things.
So as I said before the english classes are on fire and we've got tons of people coming and all the missionaries are bringing even more investigators, this week we were able to find an investigator who's actually been going to a ton of YSA activities, his name is Zatoshi (dope name right?) He told us he's insanely interested so this thursday we'll be talking with him some more.
So as you might have noticed there's only like 20-24 year olds that we teach but that's cause we live right next to Puno's giant university, people come from Juliaca and even Arequipa to study there so there's a billion YSA that we see/talk to everyday haha.
Dayvis didn't come to church this week but we've been talking to him a lot, he still has a million questions but they're so good.
Daniel and Kathy are doing really good but we had to pass the referral to other missionaries cause we realized they live outside our area haha, but they're still being taught and we hope everything goes well.
We're also teaching Alexander, he's 21 and also studying hardcore, he's an Adventist but wants to learn more about our church so we've going at a really slow pace with him, I'm learning a lot from him and he has cool ideas that we're always connecting to the gospel.
I hope you all have a good week!! What I learned this week is that there's time for everything, and sometimes we have to do things we don't like with our time! But it all depends on our attitude and what we can take from every experience.
------Ecclesiastes 3:1-8------
1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
