Week #76- I had a good (20TH) BIRTHDAY!

This week was pretty good. We were able to put the Baca Family to a baptism date for the 22nd of August. They are awesome and we gave them each a book of Mormon to read so that they can strengthen their testimonies. The father of the family is the only one that is being hard, He told us that he isn’t really interested in what we are teaching, but he has really good questions when we teach him. We feel like he is trying to find something wrong about the church. But he told his wife that if she wants to get baptized that she can. Belen is awesome and believes everything that we teach, and we have had the support from the members with this family. We have visited them with 3 families, so they have a few friends in the church. We hope to help the whole family be prepared for baptism, and we are thinking about what to do if the whole family isn’t ready for the 22nd. If we should postpone it so that they can all get baptized together or do them separated. We had a lot of our appointments fall this week so we were a little bit sad and I feel like we need to work harder. We need new people to teach so that this area can progress, so I want to contact more people. I had a good birthday, we just had a small party with my pensionista and I bought a cake. It was really fun. My pensionista and her family are awesome. I got the package. Thank you so much, I loved it! The ties are awesome!  The shoes are really big but I am trying to make them work by putting cotton and cardboard in them haha {Insert from sister: "Isn't this just the biggest game?! We send him shoes and they are too small, so we send bigger ones, and they are too big! Seriously! And you can't exactly find shoes in his size in Peru!}
Love, Elder Monson
