General Conference was so awesome right? Oh wait....I wouldn't know because I still havent seen it yet. There were elections in Peru on Sunday so church was cancelled and conference got postponed until next week. We went out and proselyted normal, woohoo!!! But I'm excited to see it, no spoilers please :)
This week I was so pleased to see AMAZING progress in Hermana Tinta as she is getting used to the life as a missionary. She mentioned that now she isn't thinking about her family anymore, but rather is focusing on our investigators and that is AWESOME! She seems a lot happier and the mood of our day seems a lot brighter with a stronger spirit. She and Hermana Lozano are also getting along better, sure there's still some little struggles but we're definitely seeing big victories!
We're teaching a young lady named Glendy who is super excited and committed to be baptized on November 1st. She went to the baptism of the Elders on Saturday and that got her really excited, we're working with the YSA to help her get to know the ward. Monica is still really sad that she can't get baptized because her in-laws prohibited them from getting married and is thinking seriously about moving out or separating to be able to live the law of chastity and be baptized. Sure it's not ideal, but it's the best she can do.
We're trying to really get the members excited about missionary work and help them realize how amazing it is to help bring others unto Christ and be an active part in their conversion. It's something that I want to do so much more actively when I finish my mission!
On P-day we went to every Iquitos missionary's favorite place to spend P-day: Quistococha. We used to go like every month but now that P-days have changed it's a rare treat. It's like a little jungle zoo with a random beach and lagoon in the middle surrounded by wild jungle...(that's where we held the snake and ate the suri the last times)
Well I hope everything is good and know that I love you all, and remember to stay anxiously engaged in a good cause!!
Love,
Hermana Benyo
