This past Saturday we finally got the opportunity to go proselyting in the field. We
traveled to Lima South, which is my mission so that is pretty cool. Anyway the
important thing to take away from proselyting is that there were dogs
EVERYWHERE!! Seriously, I saw at least 20 dogs just chillin all around the
city.
Elder Thatcher and I got paired with a more experienced missionary and
together we taught an older woman. She was as tall as my hip, but also made me
realize I do not know any Spanish. I can't even remember what was said because
I did not understand any of it. The senior companion had to nudge me an whisper ''share
your testimony.'' So I did. I talked about how I knew this life could be tough,
but if we continue to press forward in faith every day, keeping the
commandments and loving one another, we will be happy not only in this life but
in the next. At least that is what I wanted to say I hope that is what she
understood. We also talked to another lady who was younger and taller. She was
very nice and invited us in, but once again I cannot tell you what we talked
about because I have no idea.
We ended our proselyting in the chapel where the ward
provided all the missionaries pizza and soda. When they handed me my piece the
only thing I said was ''La inglesia es verdad.'' They all thought that was
really funny. No pictures this week unfotunately, we weren't allowed tot take
any while proselyting and there isn't much more to take at the CCM. Just 13
days until we go to the field and are missionaries for real. Cannot wait.
