Week #19 Dec. 17, 2018

Haha Thanks dad, haha thanks for the great advice! Haha ya its been really difficult. But Im starting to get it with him i feel like. Finally haha. At times we have ridiculious hard times, and even if its not my fault, he will blame me cause its something i didnt know and he thinks i should know it. But Im starting to love him, in a hard way, but its getting there. 

Like this week we had this one guy that we touched his house and he came out, happy, but ripped us apart with really difficult questions, i honeslty didnt understand alot cause he spoke spanish, and then read the bible in quechua. I was totally lost in all the lost language. Then me and elder ochoa were silent walking back, but then ripped me one about not knowing the bible. 

But all in all this week was amazing, cause we had two baptisms and confirmations!!! They are two sisters from pitumarca, and honestly they were true miracles, We gave up on them like a month ago, we had been teaching them so well and they were progressing amazingly, but their dad is super hard heartes and never gave permission to be baptized. But then one of them came up to us on sunday in pitumarca, and said she wanted to be baptized!! So there we prayed reallly hard for the spirit, and taught he amlost all of the required comandments. She understood all!! Then when we got permission from her mom, the other daughter said she wanted to be baptized too. 

So the following week we went on sunday, day of changes, with a zone leader, and taught 2 lessons, to the other sister and later, interviewed them. They both passed and baptized in a river in pitumarca. I baptized one and elder ochoa did the other. It was so amazing and the spirit was strong. 

But yesterday we talked with lila, and man she was struggling, she knew it was true. But she was afraid of her father. Then confessed to us that her dad hits all the kids in their family and seriously didnt want them to be baptized. It was sad, But we reassured her and she felt way better. Then we talked with nelida the other sister. and wow she has this weird boyfriend and it was strong, but we told that she shouldnt see him cause he has different standards than she does. But she seemed to understand it all. I felt so strong about it too cuase we met him the day before and he was shifty, long hair, never made eye contact with us, but later looked at me in some lustful ways!! I knew he was odd haha. 

After is pday and we just watched movies and baught stuff. I am feeling really weird right now, i have chilles and my head and back hurt so thats not right. I love you guys and will try to send pics. Thank you for the advice dad, i love you.
