First of all, if someone can get the movie quote from my
title, without looking it up, i´ll bring you a llama from Peru.
So I forgot to look at my journal to find things to write
and tell you, so I don´t remember. But we did have our miracle baptism
that was a good time.
So when people get baptized, the one who is
going to baptize them explains a little bit about how it´s going to go down and
what they need to do so everything goes smoothly right? So Elder Johnson,
one of the zone leaders that taught her, was explaining everything that she needed
to do with plugging her nose, bending her knees, etc. But I guess she
didn´t really understand it, so when he finishes the baptismal prayer and tries
to put her hand on her nose, she doesn´t plug her nose and just puts her hand
flat, so at this point it´s too late to try and explain it again, so he just
has to submerge her in the water. And she comes up coughing, gasping for
air, and spitting out water, and for like 3 minutes just stands there trying to
breathe normal. After worrying for about 30 seconds, we just start
laughing really quietly so as not to draw attention. So word of advice,
try not to drown the people you baptize. Also, the other elders in
our district had a baptism and they had to do it four times, so that´s why the
title is what it is.
I´ve also been working on my latino accent
while speaking in English...it´s going pretty well, I can definitely pass for
being from Brazil.
In other news, my mother died this week.
My mission mother.
Also my companion is getting transferred, so another new
companion for me.
Also, here´s my breakfast, because in Peru, Trix aren´t just
for kids.
