2/5/18 - Please Please Please Pray

This week was the greatest!! We had 2 baptisms - Pedro Salinas and Rosa Ocana. Rosa is my favorite person in Peru - she is so funny.  We told her to be at the church at 5:00 but she could come a little early (the Peruvian hour means that everything, everything, starts 1 hour late) so we told her earlier than needed so she wouldn't be late. We got there at 4:30 and she was sitting outside of the church waiting for us! How great is that?! hahaha She is on fire. It's just so fantastic. Please pray for family Bonatti, her daughter is going to get married and then they are going to get baptized the 16th. We need to help them!! 

Pedro is just so great. He has such a testimony of the Book of Mormon. I'm sure he reads it even more than I do.It's a great book - y'all should read it. 

All in all a great week. Please please please pray for Luci Cardinas. She and her son have a baptism date for this Saturday. Also, please please please pray for Augusto. He just got out of jail and has all the will in the world to change, however, as there is opposition in everything his sister came from Lima to visit and she drinks a TON. He started drinking and dissappeared for 2 days from us - when people start doing bad stuff they always hide from us. It's really frustrating and sad, but we are going to do what we can to help him. Please pray for them. 

Please pray for Vidal Bonatti. He needs to stop smoking but he's having a really hard time. Thanks for everything! Hasta next week!!!

Love,

Elder Nielsen
