Week 84: Bus, Starbucks, and Pomegranates



Hey all, 

This was a really good week. We had to travel to Piura this week, 6 hours there and 6 hours back. The highlight of the trip was the 2 Starbucks blended creams I drank. I tried the new cookies and cream flavor, but it just tasted like water, big let down. 

Although the craziest thing that happened was Saturday night. (a need to know is that in our bed room we have a sliding glass door to a little balcony outside). First off there was a huge 15 year olds birthday party out front and it was blasting music and we couldn't sleep, but at like 10:30 it just started down pouring super hard and ruined the party. So we actually got to sleep pretty good. But then at 3 am I was woken up to the loudest noise I have ever heard. I look down and saw that a huge gust of wind blew down our sliding glass door and it shatter all over the floor. Then at 3 am we spent 30 minutes cleaning it up. And then I actually had to sleep with a blanket and a jacket because there was so much wind that I was super cold. 

I also found some super cheap pomegranates for 30  American cents each and they were soooooo goooood. 

Also today for pday we played soccer for 3 hours and then just sat in the mall food court in the air conditioning playing Uno. I was to broke to buy any of the food so I just ate bread. (I'm broke because I lent money and the Elder hasn't payed me back). 

But yesterday night we had a miracle. Our last appointment for the day fell because she was not at home. We did not know where to go or what to do when I had the impression to go visit a family of members who didn't go to church for the last two weeks. We went to the house and found the family and one of their friends who was very interested in our message and told us that he wants to go to church next week. I know it was the holy spirit guiding us to this house and I felt great peace.

This week we read my favorite parable of the lost sheep. I always love the love that God and Jesus Christ have for each one of us. We are always failing and sinning but anyway God is there looking for us and helping us get back on the road!

Also Sunday morning at 9:30 we got a text from our bishop letting me and my comp know we both had talks. It was quite the surprise. I threw a quick 10 minute talk together before church started at 10. 

I love and miss you all so much! Everyday is the best day ever!! 

Love, 
Elder Luke Gruber
