Mid-Winter

 We had a very successful week. It was a lot of fun. We found a family of four. We were chatting for a little and they started talking about their experience in their churches and what they believe. None of them go to church, but they're all catholic, just like everybody down here. Then we talked a little about baptism and the son who is about 40 says he was baptized a long time ago when he was about eight or nine. Then we asked him what church and he paused and said, You know what, I think it was you guys. Everyone was so shocked. Then everything turned into chaos about baptism and churches and sprinkling water. And we just sat there while they disputed between themselves. The gospel is for the family, but too hard to teach them all together because everyone wants to talk. 

  Yesterday, while we were eating lunch a recent convert called and said her dad needed a blessing of comfort. We looked at each other and talked a little about how big tough guy he is. He is about three inches shorter and twice my weight. We went by and found out his mom died; he was weeping and now he wants to learn more. It was such an amazing way to see how the Lord softens peoples hearts. I was so blown away by his willingness and humility to ask for a blessing. He never wanted anything to do with us and said we can't pass by, but now we were able to talk about the God's plan for us. It was the best.

  Last P day we went to the Huac de la Luna. It is an ancient wall made by the Moche. They are a civilization from about 100 AD I think. There is the Huaca del sol y la luna. One is religious and the other is government. But the Sol is shut down because a tourist died. But I got some pictures and we also made pancakes for a Family Home Evening. Good Week.
