This week was really good. It went by soooooooooooo fast because of all the parties we had. We had our mission party because we met our goal for baptisms (1450 for the year!) and it was really fun. It was so great to see my friends and they are all doing really well. I've been very blessed with an amazing President and he is so funny, and there was amazing food, always very important. It's crazy how fast time is moving and that Christmas has come and gone. Skyping with my family yesterday was amazing and yes, I cried. lol
We were walking to an investigator the other day and this guy pulled over in a truck full of wood and stuff and said get on!! We had a 20 minute walk ahead so we were like "okay sweet" and we jumped on. He started driving really crazy and was kinda swerving, but then again everyone swerves because of the potholes so it wasn't a real big deal. He stopped and told us to go into this house and teach his family the truth and we were like sweet, okay!! It turned out he was wasted wasted drunk and couldn't even stand up straight!!! We go into this house and he leaves and we start talking to his girlfriend/wife. His mom is also there and she's a member of 40 years. Pretty soon he runs in and grabs our heads and does this lion king forehead to forehead greeting and it was the funniest thing. Oh Peru, never change.
We had a ward party and it was amazing. We sang 2 songs and it was really fun. Church was great and Segundo came! I was sooo happy when he walked in. We had lunch at a members house and it was incredible but I swear the turkey wasn't cooked all the way because it was super super soft. It turns out the grandma who cooked it is blind!!!!!!! I feel fine tho and it's been 24 hours so thank you for your prayers everyone.
Christmas at 12 am was INSANE here. It's like the 4th of July but times 10 because there are 0 laws about fire works because nothing can catch fire! Everyone was just shooting stuff off - it sounded like a war zone!! It was so cool.
I miss home but I am not ready to leave, I am soooo happy here and I am so grateful for this amazing experience. Thank you for everything!
Love,
Elder Nielsen
