Aaron

Hey everyone!  Hope you all had a good week!  This week was pretty good here in Puno considering we had a baptism this last Saturday.

His name is Oskar and was a reference from some members.  He was pretty cool and had a desire to be baptized from the beginning.  He was a gift from heaven.  He also shared a testimony that was pretty cool afterward.  He was really happy to be baptized.

We also were able to teach a family this week and the dad is an excommunicated member.  It was really cool to talk with them.  They actually contacted us so that shows their willingness to listen.  The mom is a less active member and they have two little kids.  From the moment we started to talk with them, I felt just a little bit of the love that Jesus has for them.  It was really cool to feel that.  I felt what is called charity or the pure love of Christ for them.  They also came to church this past Sunday so that was also really cool.  We will be working a lot with them this coming change.

We have also been working with a less active that has been less active for some time now.  Yesterday we were able to rescue him and he is now an active member.  He has been coming to church which is awesome.  He knows how good the church is for him and the blessings that it brings.

This past week we didn´t have much, but it was a good week.  I learned a lot in this past week.  Especially in a special conference that we had.  There was a satilite conference broadcasted to all the missions around the world.  We were able to listen to 3 apostles and other genereal authorities talk about the mission work.  It was really cool.  One thing that really stood out to me is that in the mission, we are the tools and the spirit is the teacher.  Sometimes we get those two mixed up, but it´s really important to remember that without the spirit, we will not have converts.

Hope you all have a great week and stay safe!  Love you all and thanks for all the support!
