Hey fam y friends.
This week was a pretty crazy week. Of course since its Christmas it made me miss home a lot but i expect thats normal. We were really busy this week trying to satisfy all of the people that invited us to come and do stuff. I forgot to comment last week on a conference we had with Edler Juan R Uceda of the 70. It was amazing. He talked for a good three hours and It was really cool because I was able to understand every single word he said. He taught us some great lessons and helped me to be more focused on what im doing here.
On the contrary the following week on Thursday the Mission president took us to the movie theatre. He took about 100 of us missionaries to the movie theatre and we watched toy story three. It was way awsome! We got popcorn and everything. It turns out that Christmas in Peru is wayyy different then the States. We spend Christmas eve with three different families so naturally we ate dinner three times. I wanted to die by the third. Ive never before been so
stuffeed with turkey and chicken. But As it approached midnight i kept hereing fireworks go off. So i went outside to see what was going on and im pretty sure that every resident of Lima was lighting off fireworks at midnight on christmas eve. It was crazy. Everywhere i looked there was fireworks. Ive never seen anything like it in my life. So thats how they celebrate. Then at 12 everybody opens gifts. Its different thats for sure. Not to mention its summer here. It puts a whole new feel on what christmas is.
For the second time since ive been here the bishop called on me to give a talk in sacrament meeting without giving me a seconds notice. So that was interesting But yeah everything is good here. Im eating way too much food and not exercizing enough. But after the holidays i plan on cutting wayyy back on the food. Especially if i get sent to a really hot area. Miss everybody like crazy hope all is well up in the states. Love you all
