Obedience brings blessings

Hey! Things are going great in the area! We had a baptism this week! Finally! He´s  70 year old man, but he´s got an incredible testimony. He asked us if we do tithes in our church because he has 2000 soles he want to donate. It´s not like he has a lot of money, though, of course. Super inspiring to have the experience of baptizing someone so ready to receive God in his life. 

 I´m pleased to say that I´m not sure I´ve seen a single bug since I came to Cerro. Needless to say, I believe the bug spray would be a little unneccesary in these parts. This week was pretty relaxed. Not too much has happened aside from that. 

Sunday, we were walking on our way to an appointment, when in the window of a restaurant, a block away, we saw a flash of bright red hair. We, naturally, followed it, and found that it belonged to the President´s assistent, Elder Burgie. He was there eating Pachamunca with the President, his wife, and secretary. We chatted a while, and headed on our way. We were just glad that we hadn´t had time to change out of our suits yet, so we looked nice and fancy.

This week, I´ve learned quite a bit how obedience brings blessings and in-exact obedience brings reminders to be more obedient. We left early this morning for Cerro, to do internet, with the intention of chilling a little bit before hand. So, naturally, on the way here, the little girl sitting next to my companion threw up all over him. I don´t know if it was a sign or not, but I´m sure that my companion wont be leaving for internet early for a long time. Actually, personal study has been one of my favorite parts of my day lately. It´s so faith building to discover the needs of other people and how you can help them while doing nothing more than reading whatever feels relevant. God really speaks through the scriptures often.

I love you all. Cuidense!

Much love,

Elder Alexander
