Hey everyone! Ok so this week was cool. On P day we attended Lima Central to get some cool pictures. This week me and Elder Herrera worked pretty hard and I was pretty happy, he still doesn't really let me talk much. Yesterday in a lesson the only thing he let me say was my testimony. He is a nice guy and he is obedient . Anyway this week was great, I baptized two of the hermanas investigators. Funny story I was supposed to baptize 3. Well the first two were good then the 11 year old girl was about to be baptized then she started crying and stuff. Well we convinced her to just step in the water. Well the water was a little cold nothing like freezing but it was like the north pole for her.Well we got her in the water she was crying and I said the prayer then put her in the water. Immediately when I started putting her in the water she started kicking and kind of trying to do a sit up so that her face wouldn't go in, well it didn't . I told her that we needed to do it again and that she needed to be completely under the water, i guess that idea freaked her out or something and she started crying and screaming really bad. Her mom convinced or forced her to try again. Well in the middle of the prayer she started screaming and crying again and she let go of my hands. As it was my first baptism I didn't know what to do so I looked at my companion and Hermano Miguel and they said to just do it. So I tried and before I put her in the water she let go of my hands and was screaming and crying 10 times worse than before. Well that one didn't work out so they said we will do it another week. Not with me that freaked me out. HAHA!!
Brett Weidmann how is the dude? Was his fireside cool or what?
THE two people i baptized are Delia and Cesar. Cesar was so cool and he even asked for my email, facebook, and phone number to stay in contact. The kid is only 9 years old but he is so cool. He actually reminds me a lot of you Ridge. He plays soccer but loves video games and things like that. Lets see nothing else really happened this week just kinda teaching and stuff. We did have a work visit with the zone leaders and I was with Elder Aoki ,the dude is part Japanese but he's American just in case your wondering. He was cool, I thought he would be like one of those guys that are really strict and my way or the highway. No the dude was relaxed. A hard worker but he seemed to be like one of those missionaries that really enjoys the mission. I liked him because he let me take the lead and actually talk in lessons which was good. It felt good to actually participate. We seemed to work pretty well together in my opinion. Anyway dad thanks for the advice it really helps. I love you for setting the example for me to go on a mission.
Love you all
The day began with a bus trip from the Miraflores district to the top of the Cerro San Cristóbal, the steep hill that overlooks the city. It’s a vertiginous ride up a narrow road, but worth it. The 360-degree view gave missionaires a better sense of the vastness of this city of 9 million. The hill was worshipped in pre-Colombian times as an Apu, or divine protector. When the Spaniards seized the area, they erected a wooden cross on the summit and renamed the hill.
