Hey people.

Elders Broadbent and Schwenke

We found these two awesome families from Peru and one of them have never heard of the Mormons. Llaniña and Darwin never heard of us but Darwin wants to hear more and Llaniña wants to be friends. 

The Ortundas have heard of the Mormons and they like the Mormons. We have a lesson set up with them today. 

Other than finding two awesome families, Elizabeth came to church yesterday and said that she quit her job so she can come. Jose is doing fine, he is excited to be baptized on the 23rd of May. Andres has been with us non-stop this week. 

So we´ve seen a lot of people but in terms of finding people, this has been the hardest week. I´ve been spit at and yelled at and one guy about 25 years old tried to punch me in the back of the head. We walked up to this lady about grandmas age and right as we started talking she said things in Spanish I couldn´t understand because she was yelling and babbling. I asked my companion what she said, she was calling us devil worshippers and declaring god will tie us down with our master in the last days. 

I´ve been here only three weeks and I feel the same persecution that the early saints did (besides the being drove out, tarred and feathered). 

But I don´t marvel at the bad acts that people to do us. I marvel at how good the members are and how they build my own faith. Elizabeth quitting her job, Andres coming with us every day, and member of the ward who bore his testimony even though he´s had a stroke and a hole in his neck because he used to smoke. 

That´s all I can type. 

Love Elder Broadbent.
