Ropas blanco!!




Hola familia mía (y los amigos), So I have good news that I finally got to try on my white clothes! Saturday the 19th of October Alajandrina Alba was baptized  it was kind of a close call because she was almost an hour late to her Baptism, and the Bishop or another priesthood member didn't show up...well really the only one who showed up was Hermana Alajandrina. we just found some members that were doing a craft activity in the building to participate in the Baptism. However it was really good I didn't mess up at all on the spanish and she went down perfectly in the water. When she came back up I asked her how she felt and her answer was so simple at first I thought it was a joke, but really it was her simple yet powerful testimony of what the spirit had testified to her, she just said "fresh" that's it that's all she said. Afterward in her testimony all she said was " Well I felt like I was going to drown, but I felt fresh in the water....thats all." it was a very simple testimony, but right after she had the undeniable light of the gospel in her eyes. It never stops to amaze me, the literal light that comes in to the face of those who are baptized. What is more is you know that they can feel the change.
                                       The Bad news is the screen on my camera broke....it still works, but taking a picture on a Digital camera without a screen is like driving a car without a steering wheel, there isn't alot of point to it. You can turn it on and step on the gas, but where are you going to go? You have no ideah. So really I don't know what to do because 
                                     We are going to the Central of Lima again, so that's cool, I have my broken Camera, and my memory card, so I'll try to send pictures. The Weather is getting warmer, and the mountains are starting to turn green, not with grass, but with more f an moss sort of thing. Also During the winter there is always a thick depressing fog around lima, but the sun is starting to come out, and boy it is incredible! Lima is literally bul in the mountains, not around them. Every wichway you look you just see more and more of the hunched backs of the mountains that ar safely guarding the sea of brick and cement houses that cover the stretching mountain covered land as fare as the eye can see. 
                                   As the weather gets warmer people start to sell different brands of Icecream, that really don't hold up to American Icecream, that's not USA pride it's just the truth, low quality icecream is low quality icecream no important what country you are in. Also I am in a one of the largest cities in south america, but just about everyone has chickens or ducks, or some other farm animal in their house. Hope all is going well back home. Love Elder Roos.
