This week in the Mission
Arequipa, Peru!
Elder Atencio and I were
able to see la familia Romero! We have
been calling on them once a week, wishing them health, because Piter Romero has been in the Arequipa hospital.
On Tuesday morning, as Elder
Atencio and I were walking to our pentionista’s house we were able to cross
paths with Francisca Romero, wow what a miracle, we had no idea that they were
back in town, we were quickly able to talk to her and she agreed that we could
visit her and her family later that same day.
So later that day we
knocked on the door of the Romero house, Piter answered the door and I was sad
to see his entire left arm in a cast. As
we sat and talked he told us that he was in an accident at his construction job
and that his left hand was barely hanging on. Wow that sent goose bumps down my spine. That was hard to hear, however he wanted us to
teach him, we taught about the plan of happiness. Piter was very excited when we mentioned
temples and the sacred ordinances that happen inside, that he can be married
for eternity to his wife. He wanted
that, but first we told him that he needs to be married to the law of the land
first.
He said that was his
goal. His 3 goals that he wants to
accomplish with his family:
1) to be married
2) to be baptized
3) to be married in the
temple for eternity.
It was incredible for him
to tell us that he wants to be married in December. The Romero family are in my
prayers, and that one day they can accomplish all 3 of their goals.
I love this Church and
that God has provided a way that we can live with our loved ones forever and
ever.
