A Great Week!!!‏

Oh yea, the lipstick was part of a game we played in a noche de hogar with a less active family. We had to take turns laying matches on the top of a water battle and if a match fell the person to your right got to draw one line on your face. It was really fun!

Well, we had a really good week. Last week was really slow but this week was super fast. We pretty much found everyone that we havent been able to find in a while. We have really focused on finding new investigators. This week we did intercambios with the zone leaders and it was really fun. I was with Elder Sanchez and went to his super rich sector in Magdalena. He taught me a lot. He was Elder Sorensen`s trainer in Callao when we got here 10 months ago. He explained to me the process of baptizing and finding new investigators in missionary work. We constantly have to be finding new people because if we dont then there wont be anyone to teach or baptize. Its a cycle. It really stinks going to find new people but if we break the cycle it takes a month or two to get back into it. The people we find one month get baptized the next month, but if we dont find anybody for one month then there will be no baptisms. Its a concept that a lot of missionaries dont understand. Most just show up on a new sector and want to baptize everyone and not go find new people and then they ruin the whole sector for a while. It was great being with Elder Snchez though. I`ve always looked up to him and now he is going to finish his mission in three weeks at the end of this change.

We visited the Guzman family almost everyday this week and Hermana Roxana and Angela (11) went to church on Sunday and really liked it. We are going to have a Noche de Hogar with their family tomorrow. They are all really good and really receptive. They really like the church. Roxana just has to get married to get baptized but her kids can get baptized though.

We also visited Albert and his less active wife, Andrea. They have a 4 year old son named Rodrigo and they are awesome! Yesterday we stopped by their house and started visiting with them. We talked about temples and how families can be sealed together forever. Albert really wants to be sealed with his family but first he has to get baptized, and he told us that he wants to get baptized, but before he can get baptized they have to get married. The good news though is that they were already planning on getting married this month. We will just have to keep reminding them to get it done.

Last Pday we went up the the cerro San Cristobal with the zone. It is a huge hill were you can see all of the mision and all of Lima. At the top there is a huge cross. It was cool to see all of Lima and how small our mission is.

On familysearch.org you can order patriarchal blessings of your deceased direct ancestros. Could you guys order Grandma Torgersen`s and send it to me? I would like to read it but I dont have a good adress to send it to here.

Is it Sister Cain or Sister Hone is going to come this month? We found out that it is against the rules for her to visit me, but she can leave the stuff at the mission ofice in the stake center of the Magdalena stake. She cant come see us unless we accidentally run into her.

I was wondering if I could have some contacts? I know you didnt want me to have them here but it is safe and pretty clean, and it is really annoying to play soccer and basketball with glasses!

I love you all and loved hearing about your trip to the beach. We have to go when I get back for sure! Have a great week!

Love, Elder Kevin Torgersen
