Well pretty sure this week was the longest week of
my life. After talking to you guys it passed by slow. But i saw a clip
about the Savior from elder Holland and he always knows how to but fire
in your pants and illuminate the spirit in whatever moment. I felt like
i needed the spirit way more in my life. Its easy to forget that this
isnt my work. This week ive been fighting to get some baptisms down. I
was supposed to have three yesterday but only one worked out. They are
all 18-23 year old boys and for me its kind of a headache to teach that
age. Here its just too easy for a boy to drink or to fall with his
girlfriend. It really is a miracle when a boy from the jungle leaves on a
mission because the temptation is really hard for them here. Thats what
happened with one of our investigators he drank over Christmas so wasnt
able to be baptized. The night he was supposed to be baptized he
called our house at 1 am drunk yelling i should have been baptized.. it
kind of frustrated me, just showed me that he´s not ready to make this
covenant right now. The other boy just never showed up, we went to pick
him up at his house to go to the chapel together and he just never
showed up. But apart from all that we baptized percy pizango. He is a
friend of benji who we baptized last week and just has been really
interested in the church. He asked us to set up a time with the bishop
to make mission plans! pretty cool stuff. Well today is new years eve,
we changed dinner to be able to eat as a zone in the night. Supposedly
there is going to be a ton of fireworks hopefully the same as lima
because that was so cool last year. Well i love you all and
hope your doing well. Have a good week and ill talk to ya next year!
love Elder "Baby" collins
