The bad news this week is that we had a baptism planned for this coming satuday, the first saturday
of the new year. HAD. The mom of the 14 year old investigator told us
that he is not ready and doensn't know what he is doing. She said we can
visit still but she won't let him get baptized for a few years. We
tried convincing her becaue he has all the lessons and is ready, he's
old enough to understand the covenant of baptism but she is set on her
decision. Also, a teenage girl wants to get baptized and we have been
teaching her with her parents but she leaves tomorrow
to Lima to study for a few months so we're working on getting an
address to send a reference. Also, the other 14 year old boy Jose Maria
is moving to Piura so he is going too. We're also going to try sending a
refernce to get missionaries over to his new house. We pretty much have
to start anew here. But luckily, this very morning we got a reference
to a lady who had been working in Lima for a while but lives in Morropon
and the missionaries have taught her and say she's ready to be baptized
so we are going to try visiting her tonight to get to know her and
invite her to the branch activity tonight.
We have no idea what we will do for the new year's but I hope you all have a wonderful time!!
Love,
Elder Evans
