Hey all,
This week was really good!! I had a blast and the highlight
was on Thursday morning. It was a members birthday so they let me offer them
service by killing their duck!!! It was my first time I actually killed
something to eat it. I then helped the member pluck all its feathers and prep it
for cooking. They then did all the cooking and we went back to enjoy a typical
Peruvian meal, rice and duck with potatoes and huanciania. We then egged the
member (she was turning 13) with 3 eggs, she got super mad and started crying
and had to shower for like 30 minutes to clean all the egg out of her
hair (it's tradition, not being mean).
Also the temperature here continues to rise, it is getting
hotter and hotter, which also means that so many mosquito's are coming out! I
get bit on the daily by hundreds of mosquito's.
But by far the best part of the week was Saturday when we
had a baptism for our investigator Rolando. Last Monday I didn't think he was
ready yet and I had plans to move his date 2 weeks back to help him prepare
more. But my companion wouldn't let me because he thought otherwise. So all week
I prayed about it asking what we should do, but didn't get any answer. Then on
Thursday we had the make or break lesson, and as our investigator testified of
baptism I felt the spirit super strong confirm to me that Saturday was the day.
So we pulled a lot of strings and this Saturday he was baptized and on Sunday
confirmed. Our town of Huangala is growing well and we hope to become a family
group soon!!!
Also last Monday I downloaded the new book released by the
church called Saints! so I have been listening to it when I have free time and
it is so good!!! I definitely recommend it to everybody!!
That's about it, this week we have nothing planned so its
going to be a long week of just hard work in the sun!!! Everyday here is the
best day ever!
Love,
Elder Luke Gruber
