Week 20

So I don't have much time...

Super good week though, Elder Parry and I are just owning down here!

Also, I found out that a kid that we challenged to baptism in La Joya actually went through with it, so ya I'm definitely counting that as a baptism! It's super cool though I'm kinda disappointed I didn't get to baptize him cause he got baptized the Saturday after I left.

All the members we talk to all say that my Spanish is way good so that is always super encouraging! Speaking of Spanish, one of the Latinos in my district told me I already have an Arequipeñan accent hahaha so I mean I guess that's good?

There is an insanely rich area above us, so we decided to go up there cause an old investigator lives there. I almost died when we walked into her house, she had a pool in her backyard....which is unheard of!!! 

Also, yesterday we were contacting and and went to contact this lady and all the sudden she says "I speak English" and we thought she was just doing what everyone else does here, trying to practice English with us cause we are two white guys. So we greeted her in Spanish anyways and then she was like, "No seriously, I know English." Then I realized that she had a heavy accent...turns out she was from Britain hahah. We talked for like 20 minutes with her, it was super funny. Apparently, she is a profesora here. But ya, she didn't want to learn about the church but she was down to talk if we ever ran into her again.

Also, we moved our baptismal date up to the 15th with this guy! It used to be on the 22nd but we had a dope lesson and he was happy to change it.

Also, my comp loves Diary of a Wimpy Kid, so that's always fun!

Thanks for the support

Peace,

Elder Mortenson
