Week 76: Final Interview

Ok, well. I have 20 minutes  left but like a lifetime of information to transmit to yall. Basically, things I have learned this week. 

1. I LOVE Christmas time. 

2. #iluminaelmundo (#lighttheworld)

3. The Book of Mormon is true. Obviously. 

4. I LOVE PERU. 

5. if you fight with someone you have to talk to them. talk it out, cry it out and after, HUG. 

This week I had my final interview with President Johnson. I kept it together until he told me how much they are going to miss me and how much I am going to miss being a missionary in Peru. I totally started crying because I guess I hadnt realized how little time I had left. He gave me a talk that has 10 ways we can bring the "missionary spirit" home with us. He told me to keep praying frequently in the day. He even told me to pray to know how to approach cute guys at college. Hahaha so weird. It feels like Im having all these strange "end of mission" experiences randomly throughout the week but the rest of the days its just work work work. Susanna and Jose and their mom, Victoria are preparing for their baptism on the 16th. The ward is awesome. I am trying to bring the American culture of always having food at the activities here to Congata. Last night was the Christmas devotional and I was like "hermana Brenda, it would be so cute to have hot chocolate at the Christmas devotional" and she was like "yesss, good idea!" and called a bunch of people and it was a success. I think the attendance was tripled because they announced that there would be food. So, that was exciting. The members here are so cute and awesome. They always call me "hermana Christell" So funny. Also, some lady wants us to marry her son who is 44 and an investigator. I said "no, he is too old and we are basically nuns right now". I hope she got the point. 

Also, seriously. you Should all look up #LightTheWorld. I am trying to do all of the days with my companion and I hope that you guys can do it too. ON day 2, we carried water up a giant mountain of sand to a lady that doesnt have water. On day 1, we brought a muffin to a lady in the ward that helped us out. She almost cried. It was a "warm-fuzzy" moment. My companion and I high-fived like crazy people we were so happy. I LOVE christmas and I LOve it even more when we can serve others. So, get crackin, friends and family!!! LOVE YOU all and I dont know if I will be able to write next week. But, if I cant, I will be home before you know it. Love you and I hope this is good enough, mom ;) haha.
