Welp sorry again for not writing an email last week but it was a pretty busy p day...
I also don't think I have let you guys know but, Elder Villanueva had transfers and I received a new comp who is Elder Kemp! He is from Eagle Mountain, Utah and is pretty chill. He has around the same time I do, I think he has 18 o 19ish months on the mission and this transfer should be pretty fun considering we also live with another Utahn that is from PG and was in the offices so we know him pretty well.
Anyways last week was a pretty interesting week, on the weekend we had to be at home earlier than usual because of the voting and elections that they were doing but that doesn't mean we didn't see any miracles this past week. To start, Elder Kemp and I found a Peruvian guy that seemed pretty cool. We didn't find him until the next week or this past tuesday and were teaching prophets and we felt we needed to involve the gospel of Jesus Christ somehow so I shared Alma 9:27 which mentions the first principles of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and he blatantly asked us how he could get baptized and what he would need to do to be baptized. Surprisingly and kind of shockingly we didn't really know what to do and so we said we could obviously help him and we put a goal down at the end of May to be baptized.
This past week we have been visiting Maria Paredes or the older lady. It was a miracle finding her and she said that we needed to postpone her baptism because of her health and Elder Kemp and I felt pretty sad about that. She has been sick for 3 weeks and just hasn't gotten better, well see if she gets better or if the Lord is calling her back home. To finish that day off which was Saturday we visited Shirley and Scarlett or another family that we have found. We were finishing the plan of salvation and we asked Shirley or Scarlett if they had any other comments and Shirley just shared her testimony to us about how she had gone to different churches and just didn't quite find the right church or that it actually was the church of Jesus Christ. She then said that she felt and knew that she had found the Church of Jesus Christ and the spirit was so strong in that moment testifying to her and to all of us in the room that this was really the Lord's restored church and this is His Work.
Finishing up the email, I honestly cant choose a conference talk that is my favorite. Every single one has a very distinct message and I need to relisten to all of the talks again in English. But listening to the Prophets talk I realized how many blessings he has promised to all of us and how those blessings and really affect and help our lives. I can testify that those blessings that he has promised us will get there!
Miss you guys
Elder Roper
