So I failed to send you a good letter for some time now, so I will do everything in my power to make this letter a good one. So I am in the Zone of Cañete, and my area is named Imperial (because the city is named Imperial) it is a very big farming community. we live in the city part of Imperial, but we also teach in some of the outer parts of the city. some things are similar to Sunampe (my last area) but the city part is bigger and the other ¨outer parts¨ are spread out a little farther. I love the people here, there are a lot of crazy drunk people here, but that is just kind of a Peru thing. I have meant some of the humblest people here in this area, we are teaching a lot of really devoted people, like Carlos Ojeda who will be baptized this week. He has been waiting for over three months to be baptized He really enjoyed Conference and he told us when the prophet went up to give his talk he stopped and payed close attention to everything that is said and the way he presented himself, and he said that he had seen a lot of public speakers in his day, he had been to different countries and different parts of Peru, just to hear people speak, and when we told him that there was a living Prophet he was expecting something ¨Big¨ something ground breaking, but he just told us to love God with all are heart and love everyone as ourselves. He then said ¨at that moment I knew that he was a Prophet of God, because what he said really made me think about what I was doing with my life and what God wanted me to do with my life.¨
I love the faith of Brother Carlos and I don´t have words to describe how happy I am to see him enter into this pathway to eternal life. I also know that the church is true and there is a Prophet on the earth today. the morning of conference we want to pick up a sister that we are teaching, and she told us that she could´t go because she was cooking (which seems to be the favorite excuse here in Perú) and I asked her ¨if Jesus came and knocked on your door and told you that the 12 Apostles we speaking would you leave your house to go hear them?¨ she said that she would but that is different, and I told here that it´s exactly the same because God has called a prophet and 12 apostles today, and she just told us that she was really busy and she couldn´t go.....so she failed the test of faith.
I want you to know I am happy, healthy, and growing strong, I hope you are all doing well. Love Elder Roos.
