White Christmas 🤭❄️🌲🌨

 This week was so boss 🖖 the amount of miracles around Christmas time is crazy. This baptism was super special. The day I got here Elder Ostergaard made me contact Hermana Maritza. Somehow they got past my horrible Spanish and into the waters of baptism. Being able to watch their family grow, change, and now make covenants with the Lord and enter the waters of baptism over the last 3 months has been an absolute privilege. 

For some reason our neighbors have loved the fireworks this week. They ask us for money every day for food, but seem to have no problem buying enough fireworks to launch until 5 am every night🙃 this kind of junk is the stuff that makes just simply living in perú extremely difficult at times. Just living here day to day is the hardest thing I have ever done by a mile. I love this place and people though. 

There was a group of drunk guys in the street that ran up and introduced themselves to us. One of them was God, the other was Jesus, and the other was Joseph Smith. What legends 🤣🤣

I love Christmas as a missionary. What a great time of year to devote myself to telling people about what Christ did for them and how they can implement it into their lives. Christmas here is different (mostly just hot) but what a cool oportunity I have to spend Christmas in such a cool and foreign place👍

 

I hope we everyone has an incredible week this week, spends time with those they love, thinks about Jesus a few times, and eats some great food. Love you guys ❤️💚

Alma 7: 10 And behold, he shall be born of Mary, at Jerusalem which is the land of our forefathers, she being a virgin, a precious and chosen vessel, who shall be overshadowed and conceive by the power of the Holy Ghost, and bring forth a son, yea, even the Son of God. 

11 And he shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people.
