Hola one and all! 

Its your favorite potato boy in Perù, back with another update!

This week I had my birthday, which was quite honestly one of the coolest B-days I've ever had. I got some frisbees from my parents, and somehow my Mom got a cake to me down here, which was delicious and awesome. 

Down here, we are allowed to have orbee guns. (Pretty sure I mentioned this before, but not sure). I've been getting shot by my ZLs and my comp, so I figured it was time I got back at them. So, I bought my own. Mine, however, has a laser pointer and a flashlight, so bonus! It also hits pretty hard, so they'll think twice before they draw guns on me again .

New years! Apparently here in Perú they burn dolls to burn the new year, so not only did it feel like I was watching heresy, but it looked like the apocalypse as everyone burned their dolls. Quite crazy.

Spiritual stuff!

We got someone on bap date! It was super awesome, because I was sitting there while my comp was talking about baptism, and I felt an impression to challenge him to be baptized! It was super fuego, because he was really into what I was saying and accepted the challenge! Pray that he stays with us and he goes through with his promise! We need all the prayers!

My Spanish is seriously improving. I've  found myself saying things I didn't know I could say in Spanish, and it (some what) makes sense. I am also understanding way more than I thought would be possible with only 2.5 weeks in Perú! The gift of tongues is real! Like, seriously real! Its INSANE!!!

I would like to end in my testimony that I know God lives and that through him all things are possible. Aye no way did I think a year ago that I'd in Perú speaking a foreign language and understanding what people were saying. I truly know that its through Christ that this is possible. There is no other way that I could do this. I invite you all to reflect and see what in your life wouldn't be possible without God each day (something different each day), and say a prayer of gratitude for that thing. I know that you'll be happier and feel more grateful for the things in your life.

I say these things in the name of Jesucristo, Amen.
