This week was super busy and a lot of fun! Wednesday I was on divisions with a guy from Utah and it was so much fun to talk with him. Then Thursday I went to Lima to finish my documents. I'm now legal in Peru!!
That trip was a lot of fun. It consisted of a 9 hour bus ride where we went from 11,000 ft. and dry air, to sea level and really humid. Other than it being super hot Lima was so fun. It felt like I was actually back in the real world. That night we walked to a McDonalds which had never tasted so good in my life. A double big mac always makes you feel good ;) Then that night we stayed in a hotel. I had never felt so clean in my life!! At the hotel I got to shower without sandals which felt good, I saw carpet for the first time since July, and the bed was super nice! Then in the morning we went and finished our papers, and then for lunch we found another McDonalds! Around 1:30 we left for Huancayo and arrived around 11. In my hotel room, there were 3 gringos, so we stayed up for a while talking, so I haven't gotten a lot of sleep lately but it was so worth it!
So Friday I left the world again and Saturday everything was back to normal! Saturday we ate lunch with the old lady that got baptized a couple weeks ago, and I got welcomed back to Huancayo by eating Cui (Guinea Pig) for lunch. It was my first time and I was super nervous to eat it. But thankfully they fried it really good and put a spicy sauce on it. So yeah, I actually liked eating Guinea Pig! It's like chicken but with a million bones in it.
Then Saturday afternoon we had a baptism which went really well and then had a ward Christmas activity for the rest of the night. So this week was filled with a lot of partying!
Anyway I was going to leave you with a Christmas message, but I feel like I need to talk about the Book of Mormon, and you guys have probably heard a billion Christmas messages by now. Anyway, please, please, please read the Book of Mormon every day. The world is crazy and it's getting harder and harder every single day. The more the church grows, the more strength the adversary uses. The only way to get through it all is to read your scriptures every day. If you aren't reading, you will be more likely to forget who you are and do bad things. But if you read everyday, the spirit will be with you and I promise you will be able to sail the stormy seas. It doesn't matter who you are, if you aren't reading your scriptures things can happen. The Titanic was supposed to be unsinkable. But it didn't read its scriptures ;) and it got wrecked. Anyway have a nice Christmas. I love y'all!!!!
