Wellllll
Back from the long awaited hiatus I am here for the update
of a lifetime. Christmas time came like a thief in the night and we are all
wondering how did we get here? Answer: plane from Los Angeles to Atlanta to
Lima to Iquitos and 15 months later and here we are. It´s been a special
Christmas season because the focus on service this year has left me thinking
more about the Savior´s example that He left for us. I have felt my love for
the Savior grow infinitely during this time and I know He lives! He was our
perfect example. Missionary service has been the biggest blessing in my life
and has helped me grow to know the Savior more and love Him more deeply.
-getting into the Christmas spirit
-our mission leader loves us!
-the rain! Wow what a beautiful blessing it has been. And
with the new umbrella I am unstoppable. My companion forgot her umbrella one
day and we were in the house of a less active and the sky went black. No joke,
black. One minute it is hot and sunny and bright and the next there are
uncontrollable winds blowing and the sky is negro. But, luckily the less active
had a poncho that everyone wears on their motos and was able to throw that on.
It was so funny! Just her little head was peaking out and the less active told
her she looked like a pregnant gnome with her bag. Good times. But it was
waterproof so that´s the good news.
-we have the Christmas conference with the mission this
Wednesday and every zone has to prepare a song to sing. Our zone had nothing!
So my comp and I wrote a little mix of a couple hymns. We thought we were going
to practice it on Wednesday during lunch so we ate so fast. We told the
motokarrista to fly and we got to the chapel super quick, only to realize that
the practice was for Thursday. Ahhhh...
-No one could give us pension in the mornings so we are now
making our own breakfast. Let´s just say it´s a lot of cereal and yogurt.- It´s
a great mix.
-We changed pension to an eternal investigator who loves
us...too much. She has a restaurant. She is feeding us such delicious food but
I can´t stop eating!! I have even taken to the Peruvian habit of eating a pile
of white rice every day!! No!! I swore I never would! But it´s so good! Killing
me with the amount of love she cooks into every meal. Oh, Gloria
-Finished the Book of Mormon again this week! I could feel
once again the truthfulness of that book and I love it. I was able to
understand even more this time around and I am ready to start again!
I am SO excited to talk to you! We will see each other
soon!
