Hola Familia!!!!
So I'm running out of subject line ideas.....
But
this last week has been great!!! A funny experience! this last week we
went to go visit a family and the husband is an old investigator of a
long distance cousin of mine and as well his wife was this cousins
pension. But the funny experience was when we were finishing the lesson,
i felt something under my chair moving. ( i thought it was a spider or
something) So I looked under my chair and there was a puppy. Now this
family has another dog that they named christian Olsen, Olsen for my
cuz. And when I saw this puppy I was like that is not Cristian Olsen. So I picked her up and we got talking with the family about the new puppy.
and I was like well I guess now you have some cousins in your house,
making a joke! Then them taking it seriously saying " hey that's actually
a good idea and she doesn't have a name yet. Lets name her Cassie
McNamara!!!!" so now here in Peru there are 2 dog cousins named after 2
distant cousin missionaries!!!! It still makes me laugh!
But
as well this last week we had something called Censo. Its when nobody
can leave their house for nothing, because the government has someone
coming to count how many people live in your house, because the
government wants to know how many people are here in Peru, and it
happened to fall on a Sunday so that meant that there could not be
church meetings nothing.... it was a really boring day! I mean we
studied and we planned and we slept a little. But it was a long time to
trapped inside our room. glad to know the Censo only happens every 8 -
10 years.
Anyways the work is still going and
we have got a lot of people were are teaching!!! We are also walking a
ton. it still boggles my mind sometimes, but our investigators that grow
more and actually get baptized live the farthest away from the church, some 45 minutes walking time!!! Its crazy!!! Sometimes we don't think
about the blessings that we have and we take advantage of them. so many
of the members ask me. " why if the members of the church in Utah live
so close to the temple, why don't they go to the temple more??? why only
once every 3 months when they could easily go to the temple every
week???" Then they always give me the lecture. Hermana McNamara when you
are back in Utah you need to go to the temple every week, and remember
everyone here in Peru Cajamarca who has to wait 3 months and save lots
of money just to go to the temple. so I am inviting all. GO TO THE
TEMPLE and think about all the people who aren't so privileged to have
temple close!!!!
Love you all!!! Thanks for all the love and support!!!!!
Love Hermana McNamara
