It sounds like everyone is staying pretty busy even though it is summer there. It also sounds like sports are the center of your life right now. Soccer is the center of Peru right now. Peru is now in the semifinals against Chili and play today. Chili and Peru hate each other. It is kind of funny because everyone talks bad on Chili all the time. Everyone will be watching the game tonight. We have had a lot of people tell us to come over tonight to watch the game but that we won't be able to teach anything. It looks like I won't get much done tonight.
I had a really great week. It started off with room revisions and an interview with president. We have an interview and room revisions every 3 months. We stayed up super late cleaning the room until it sparkled. I don't know why exactly because Hermana Erickson didn't care too much. The interview was quick and simple. President maybe talked to me 5 minutes. It was super fast and just asked how I was doing. I said that I enjoyed the mission and that was about it.
Then on Friday, I got to go to another wedding. Juana and Miguel got married. In the mass marriage or ''masivo'' there were 146 couples getting married. 19 were from the mission. It was a huge marriage. It was really fun and really pretty. I took a lot of pictures of the marriage and of the Parque de las aguas. I didn't miss out too much on Kyle's wedding I figure because I have now gone to two weddings.
The week got even better when on Saturday we had a baptism. I don't remember if I told you about Max. He is 19 and we met him through his girlfriend who was less active. This week, we were able to reactivate his girlfriend and he was baptized. I baptized him. I wanted my companion to baptize him where he is new, but I didn't get the opportunity to tell him that. A girl was also baptized Saturday that the other missionaries in the ward taught. We had a good turn out and lots of support for the new members.
We had a good Sunday. We had 3 investigators in church. We had a less active that we reactivated about 2 months ago bring her sister to church. She is super cool. We went to her house last night and taught the restoration with her. It was a great lesson. We also had Juana's neice, Rosalinda, in church. We have taught her a couple times but she is a strong member of another church. We are working a lot with her and trying to help her get an answer to her prayer. She told us that she has prayed about other churches if they are true and just felt more confused. We are making a lot of progress with her and hopefully she gets baptized in July. Juana and Miguel weren't at church yesterday and we don't know why. We went to their house and called them all morning but they didn't answer. We are going to find them and teach them some more this week.
All in all, I had a really good, successfull week. I know what I am doing is true and that I am where I am supposed to be. Thanks for all the love and support you all give me.
Love,
Elder Isaacson
