Feliz CumpleaƱos
Sunday was crazy, we had a bunch of stuff planned out for the big day. it really wasn't crazy because it was my bday but for the mission obra. We went to the bishops house in the morning to eat breakfast which was really cool(we're going later tonight to eat cuy!) then we went to bring a bunch of people to chruch, i gave a huge talk in sac. meeting, then after chruch we went to leave. My comp and Hna. Amelia smashed eggs on my head. So that was something new, its the peruvian tradition here for bdays... and they made an awesome cake for me(well one of the five cakes) they told me to lick it to see if it tastes good, then they shoved my face into it, which is a peruvian tradition too. We went to eat with the members for lunch, they gave me a cake (number 3) and then we went to go teach famila campos. We got there with the zone leaders, they had cake too. What happened with them, the parents lost intrest, and we've taughten lec. 3 three times, we've taughten faith and repentance 3x but never have been able to challenge for baptism. So the zls taught everything and challenged the parents to baptism and they said they didn't want it but didn’t challenge maria. Then they started talking about the ressurection, death and all that, i was listening to it all, i felt really strongly that we had to challenge maria the daughter. I was sitting there listening to them talk and i started to feel that so strongly like i was going to burn up inside if i didn't open my mouth and say it. The conversation died down, and the zls looked to me and my comp and i started to talk for the first time. I don't really remember what i said or how i said it but i challenged maria for baptism, i said it and she accepted it, shes going to be baptized sat. I felt so good to get that out of me. Man i felt so guided by the spirit but i felt like it was going to kill me if i didn't follow through it. We have spent to so much time on this family and its been so hard to get here. I’ve really struggled to teach here in the mission more than everything, its been hard for me. I felt like I was doing something wrong, and didn’t know what but I did everything yesterday. That was by far the best part of my bday. we got out of there and i felt like a million bucks, then we went to the pension for my bday party, which topped it off.
