Mary's 4th letter from Peru w/pictures!

hey family! ward. wont have timeto read them. jorge, and he has been an investigator for 4 years. we were fasting
and praying that when the day came to be baptized he would have his
answer. at the end of a lesson teh day before his baptism, after the
prayer he looked upand said that it was all true and that he felt
someone touch his shoulder and it felt like he had light and warmth
take over his wholebody! awesome. the problem was that he didntsho9w
uyp sunday tobe confirmed and is m.i.a... so, we are working on that.
ALso, there is jose, who is 85 years old and is the most christlike
persone head injurie and wants nothingto do with us. but he will meet with us
at the church and he is so wonderful, after the first lesson he said
that everything made sense, that he has prayed about it and knows its
true. so cool!!!

Also there was a terrible flood here, and the rain just kept coming. I
was talking to my pencionista´s son, and he said that a lot of people
would die that night in the lower parts of cusco. after we left, it
was aweful watching the rivers of water all head down hill, knowing
they would be the cause of so many deaths. Very sad feeling. But over
all, life is wonderful here. Fasting and prayer bring miracles and i
learn so much everyday. Thank you Rachel for your email! with your race!!! so cool. Andgood for chris for joining!!! woot.
