Bien, so the first part of the week, we were with Elder Bazan, cuz his companion had a change. And... his method is teaching is.. different than that of my companion and I. So, we went to our appointment with Jessica and Gabriel with him... and seriously almost lost them. His way of teaching is almost attacking the people with scriptures and basically like, "IF YOU DON'T LISTEN TO ME YOU ARE A DUMBIE!" We were like, "All right, so, we basically can't visit any important people this week until he leaves." So, we basically wandered around town for 2 days, visiting less actives that we haven't had time to visit, and doing everything in our power to keep him away from our progressing people. We were able to meet some new people that we're gonna be visiting this week, so I'm excited for that.
So, after he got his new comp (Elder Rivera, from Piura. My patience is already wearing thin with him because every time I enter into a room, or he enters the room, or really in whatever time, he yells, "GRINGO!!!!" Pray for patience.) we went out and started teaching again normally. Gabriel and Jessica are progressing GREAT. Jessica already believes this is all true, and this Sunday they have commited to coming to church. We worked a ton with less actives this week, and met a few new families that I'm excited about. We had a super powerful lesson this week with a recent convert family, and almost the whole family was crying when we finished. Basically we were burning them a bit, cuz the dad has turned to drinking again, and the rest of the family is kind of inactivating, but it was good. Hoping to see some change with them.
Really, it was kind of a boring week. I also don't have my new planner, and so I usually write things to write you guys in that, but I don't have it, so I didn't write anything, and I forgot everything about this week. We did have a cool experience this week when it was pouring rain. There was just a TON of water in the streets, so my comp and I left in street clothes to look to see if we could help anyone. We helped a few people dig trenches to protect their houses, put there was a motokar stuck in a river/road, and my comp and I ran behind and just gave it a huge push, and got it unstuck. It was just interesting, because the guy driving, literally didn't notice. He just thought he got out. It was just interesting, cuz in that moment, I felt like an angel! Haha. No, but it was cool. Anyways, I'm excited for this week. I have a good feeling that there is a storm of spiritual goodness brewing for this week. Anyways, sorry I'm boring today, but I hope everyone is doing well! Love and miss you all! Ciao!
Elder Richman
