Hey Everyone!
Nasca is so great. President Douglas came and he got all spiritual and said that this is the site of a major city from the Book of Mormon and this is sacred ground. He also said how this area is about to explode and grow bastante. I am very happy to be here in this area. Even if it is soooooooo hot I wish I could die everyday haha. We have 2 baptisms this Saturday and I am very happy with that. It's also the most calm area ever and safe. It's pretty small. We don't have a ward just a small branch. We just burn all Sunday long in this small house church.
The main things that happened this week are my interview with president and intercambios. President Sean Douglas is a man of God. He breaths the spirit and is an amazing man. We get an interview with him every 3 months or so. These interviews are about 7 minuits long and life changing. I'm super happy in my mission but somhow he can make me cry every single interview because he just gives us 7 minutes of the spirit. Like an injection of spirit and power! "Why do you always make me cry!" "I don't mean to Hermana Quist!" He is probably the best man in the world and I'm not kidding. Man I wish you could know him! I will just say that I'm here to learn alot about how much God loves me. I have a testimony that we need to suffer to be able to feel the love of God. It seems like I never have anything to suffer through but I think I must because I really know God loves me. Sacrifice is something I have been thinking about alot lately and I know that when we are feeling good it's because we are sharing our burden with the Lord My new favorite scripture is Matthew 11; 28-30. It has a new meaning and I know I need to give my burdens to the Lord.
We also had intercambios with the Sister leaders and I learned to be more bold with my baptism invitations and contacts. Faith really works by the way! "Hey Hermana Maldonado we are going to put a baptism date on someone today" And guess what we did and we literally had nothing planned. I read what Carter said about the 8:25 miracle and I testify to that. We call it the 9:15 miracle and it is a great mercy of the Lord!
We did service today and cleaned a pig pen. I GOT POOP IN MY EYE and all over my face. I freaked out of course and the Elders thought it was the funniest thing in the world. I'm having a great time. My companion is the sweetest and I'm training her so I'm giving her all my knowledge and she is definitely teaching me too. She is 27 and from Honduras!
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!! Says my whole zone. I love the pictures of my sister.
