All is well in Peru! all the little kids are messing around in the streets with fireworks, Christmas music everywhere. It's a bit weird having Christmas in a desert with no snow, so instead of snowballs me and my companion throw dirt balls! we I had my first lesson by myself this week! it wasn't very great but my buddy Jose was very kind and interested in what I had to say. probably because I'm the whitest person he has ever seen but also he shared that we were an answer to his prayers. he had been searching to find what church was true and let me tell ya there are lots of them here in Peru. as we taught him you could tell that the spirit was testifying to his heart. I'm glad to be here in Peru, even though I don't know jack squat in Spanish people still want to hear what I have to say. I love you all and remember how important this gospel is when you read the Book of Mormon intently and pray with a sincere heart I know for a fact that the spirit will confirm to you that it is true. I've seen this in the people I teach but also in myself. if you have not read the Book of Mormon now is the time. I love you guys!!! Sorry, this week I don't have `pictures but next week I will!!
We were able to baptize Abigail and Ruth this last Saturday! Its a wonderful thing being able to share this gospel with people that are complete strangers but soon become family. Me being a new missionary I got some weird spirit with me so we get milagros very often. this last Sunday we were walking from where we get our clothes cleaned and me and my companion saw a family so we went and talked with them, but in this lesson I was able to teach everything. through the spirit, I was able to teach in Spanish and they actually understood what I said! hahaha but all and all I know that my savior lives and he always blesses me even when I don't notice those blessing in the moment. I love you all here are pics of the baptism!
