So these past couple weeks have definitely been tough. And there have been times haha actually multiple times where I have asked myself if I even have a purpose here in Peru. The language can be tough at times, and the people here in Peru have their own little code for different things haha so I am trying to learn that as well. During the lessons I can understand the general idea of what is going on, but I can't give my 100 percent because I don't have all of the grammar and vocabulary just yet.
But through all this I have tried my best to focus on patience and gratitude. The people here are amazing and so loving. For the month of December we have Nohe de Lugar (FHE) every night with a different family and they always treat the missionaries with all that they can offer. It is just woahh. And gratitude. The lord blesses us with So SO much. Before you think of what you want, think of what you already have.
Hmm also here in Peru there really is not a season for hot chocolate. It is the beginning of Summer here and the people ABSOLUTELY love hot chocolate. So almost every cita when I am already sweating they kindly offer me an entire mug of steaming hot cocoa. And of course I can't refuse because haha yeah you just don't refuse the food that people give you unless you want to be given a lecture in spanish. But Man I was sweating so much. And I am going to be doing this for the next couple months. So wish me luck lol.
Anyways. One last thing. Please remember to read, ponder and STUDY the Book of Mormon. I know this book has the power to change your life if you allow it to do so. The Lord simply asks us to "Learn of him and listen to his words, walk in the meekness of my Spirit, and you shall have peace in him."This is so true. Please remember Christ in this season of Christmas. Learn of him and I promise you, there will be peace. :))
ALSOOO if you have not already please watch the Christ Child it is an amazing video and it is only 17 minutes long.
