Week #31- 2 baptisms!

This week was really hard. I got a new companion, my new companion is Elder Gonzales from Peru. It is really hard getting used to him as my companion, because he doesnt do anything, He just isnt really motivated to do anything so I have had to do everything. The first thing my zone leaders told me is that he isnt allowed to have the cell phone. Last week for p day we went to a hill in the middle of Lima where you can see all of Lima. It was really cool to see how many people live here and the line that seperates the rich people and the poor people. On saturday we had 2 baptisms for 2 people that have been listening to the missionaries for a really long time. It was amazing to see how strong their testimonies are. One of them is the only member in her family and her family really didnt want her to be baptized. Her grandma told her that she was born catholic, baptized catholic, and that she was going to die catholic. It was amazing that she still chose to be baptized even though her family is against it. It shows that she really has a testimony. This week we had about 5 people come up to talk to us just because I am white and they wanted to know what I was doing here. It was pretty funny but we had some good contacts talking with them. It is crazy that I have already been here for 7 months now, I love it here and I am learning a ton. Thats all for this week,  In our mission they put all of the sister missionaries in the rich areas, they dont put the sisters anywhere close to the dangerous missionaries. My new companion has 16 months in the mission.
Love, Elder Monson

All of Lima!

Double Baptism!!
