We are teaching the uncle of Juan de Dios, our convert of about 2 months. His name is Augusto and he just got out of prison after 14 years. If you think prisons in the states are bad ohhh buddy. Anyway, I have never in my mission, better yet my life, seen someone who wants to change and be better as much as he does. However, there is opposition in everything. A friend of his called and gave him a killer job in Lima, which means he would need to move this week. Please pray for him. He can't leave yet. We are going to try to find him a job here in Huaura. Really, he's the best. (Side note, his family has cuys, guinua pigs, which they eat. A cat has been breaking in and eating them and in one week they have lost 20, or 150 dollars. That's A LOT of money to people who have nothing.)
PLEASE PRAY FOR PEDRO SALINAS!!!!!!!! We have been teaching him for about 4 months and the only thing stopping him is his wife and brother. He's 60 years old, but they are scary against it. They have over 25 Virgin Mary's in their front room. They both HATE the church and until now he just wouldn't do it because he was afraid of what would happen. He had an interview with Elder Stodmeister and said "ya know what I'm doing this for ME. It's MY baptism. I'm going to do it because I know it's right." Please pray for him. He's just so great.
Rosa Torres is the funniest grandma in the whole world. Her birthday was today and it was really fun. She's great and she has her baptism this Saturday. Please pray for her.
Elder Stodtmeister and I had our 7th work visit this week. Yeah that's right folks - 7. That's what we get when we have more than 1 year together. I guess you could say things are getting pretty serious.
Love,
Elder Nielsen
