Well, I guess this is the mission
life. There are days that fly by and others that feel like theyll never
end. Honestly its alot more boring than I thought itd be jaja,
especially when my spanish still sucks. But the good moments always
make up for it. Its also pretty embarassing when even babies speak
better spanish than me. Speaking of babies kids make me so mad during
lessons. Like they having nothing else to do than freak out during
lessons. Im pretty sure kids are Satans beset weapon against the
missionary work. Every time things start to get super spiritual or you
can tell the Spirit is working in the investigator, kids parade through
the lesson screaming and partying. Just last week we were praying, when
I got slammed in the side of the head by a ball. And a few days ago we
we had just invited a family to be baptized, and then theyre kids start
freaking out and banging toys everywhere. Ugh. Sorry, im venting, I
should stop jaja.
Being a gringo in Peru rocks. Everyone stares at me
wherever I go, and I usually get a whistle jaja. But theres also alot
of snakes. For those who dont know, snakes are those young women who go
after missionaries. And I guess dragons are older women jaja.
Missionaries usually joke about how many snakes they have. Its pretty
funny, except I dont have any snakes so I just listen... :(
By the way, Id like to thank everyone for all of
their contributions to my mission. I literally use everything I was
given, and am so thankful I have it.
Yesterday
during church was the primary program. It was so cute and funny at the
same time. It made me miss Emily alot. It was also the same day as our
first baptism!! Well it was more like my first baptismal service
because I didnt really know her that much jaja. Her name is Emiliana,
and was baptised by my friend Carlos who is an extraordianry youth in
our ward. The Spirit was definitely there. Theres no better feeling
than being surrounded by people you love and watching someone choose to
follow Jesus Christ and be baptized. Many people think that things of
this world make them happy, but I have never felt greater peace and
happiness than when I am surrounded by my friends, family, and following
Jesus Christ.
Con Amor
