Wow... I dont know where to start! I know that you're prolly reading this wondering how my Christmas went, or you aren't wondering at all and just read these for fun, or you're not even reading this in which case this sentencie doesn't even make sense.
Anyways, I'll start off, this week was absolutely amazing!!! Easily the best Christmas I've had on the misión so far!
But honestly, I'd say that Christmas Eve was even better than actual Christmas (hence the title (also just merry Christmas was a basic title and I don't believe in basic things)
I won't explain everything cuz its a little long and honestly probably boring to read, but we did a lot of service, we're able to help kids have a great Christmas who maybe wouldn't have otherwise, been there for like 5 hours and my arms got burned, dance partied, ate massive lunch, dance partied, went immediately to another meal after walking about 3 miles, partied (not dance just normal), went to give more gifts to a family who was very grateful, dance partied, ate more food (chocolate and panetón), dace partied, came back home, went to a members house, ate another massive meal (hamburgers), partied (singing party this time), watched fireworks!!, opened gifts, played video games, fell asleep, companions woke me up and we went home, ate more panetón, went to bed!
I know I said I would explain everything but that's basically everything!!
Then the next day was Christmas and for some reason we still went to the gym at 4:51!! (I got less than 2 hours of sleep) and then we ate some chocolate and panetón, then went and played paintball, then played some monopoly, then played fútbol, then slept, then played volleyball, and then went to bed!! Dinner and lunch were in the somewhere, but all in all it was a very chill day and I loved it!!
Besides Christmas, and definitely more importantly, we baptized out friend Cristel this week!! It was so awesome, and it's going to be such a big blessing to her and to her family!!! I was so amazing!!
This was my third baptism and they are awesome every time!! Also got to do my first baptism in Spanish, which was a little easier than Quechua, but I still had a hard time with her name cuz they all have like 50 names here!! So she basically just whispered me her name as I said it cuz she realized I was struggling!! She's the best!!
Spiritual section: Lo importante this time is that when we focus of only serving and helping others we are serving God!! And you completely forget about yourself and it is just the most fun!!
This Christmas was prolly one of if not the best I've had, because it was surreal to just be here in Perú doing the Lord's work and serving others and helping them have a special day! And mientras doing so I had myself an even more special day too!
There is no better feeling than helping someone else, and feeling how happy they are and the appreciation they have for you!
It's enough to make a grown man cry! (not this man)
