This week we were able to email back and forth for a little bit and ask a few questions. It was really nice to hear from Alex and some of the things he is doing...and get his advice on a few Christmas presents. :) Some of the conversation was in Spanish (with Jared) and some in English.
Q. Did you get the package I sent you for Christmas?
A. I got the package, and me and my comp are enjoying it a lot. Thanks for being so thoughtfull, I love what you have done. I've already given away like half of the things, I can't be too greedy ya know?!
Q. (Nick was also on at the same time--and I accidentally asked Alex if he was freezing--Nick's in Wenatchee, WA--Alex is in Paita, Peru--near the equator--and it's summer right now.)
A. y me preguntas a mi si estoy congelado?! que clase de persona eres mamá?! estoy mas quemado que un fuente de chicharron de pollo!!! jajj ;)
A. (In English) - and you ask me if I'm frozen?! Are you crazy Mom?! -- It's hotter here than chicken on a bbq!!! ha!!!
Q. How is the missionary work going?
A.tenemos uno con fecha, ayer hicimos divisiones y jhon (el invewstigador) me contó que se quería bautizar. tenemos fecho por este 15, pero estoy p+ensando mas en el 22. tambien estamos chambiando con una mamá que está investigando un poquito. esta yendo a la iglesia y quiere escuchar más, tenemos una cita con ella hoy en la noche. creo que se bautizará este mez, bakán no?! pero yo no obligo a nadie, no soy así como algunos que no mencionaré
Yesterday we had splits--and one of our investigators, John, told me that he wanted to be baptized. He told me December 15, but I'm thinking more like Dec 22. We are also working with a mom who went to church and wants to hear more. We have an appointment with her tonight. I believe she will be baptized, Pretty cool!
