November 6, 2017 - First Baptism!!!

So Tuesday was Halloween and they all know about it but no one celebrates it which was kinda sad to hear because I love Halloween! So if you remember a couple weeks back I asked someone to be baptized and he said yes. well we had the last lesson with him and he's for sure gonna get baptized which was awesome! But it was so funny cause we were talking about baptism and he said "podemos hacer mas practicas?" and it was so funny! He was super nervous for some reason. Wednesday we traveled to Trujillo for my 5 week training and that was super fun! 3 hour bus ride and we stayed the night at the zone leader's house there. Then next morning we had the training and it was with my old ccm group and they are the coolest people ever so it was fun to see them again! The training was super boring but we did get pizza at the end(real american pizza) haha. So Friday was just a day to get ready for the baptism which was kinda boring and I really didn't feel like we did much but that's fine! I was super excited for Saturday for Rodrigos baptism! So on Saturday was the baptism and that went really well! He chose Elder Luna to baptize him and again he was super nervous and he kept wanting us to practice with him but we kept telling him that everything would be fine! So he was baptized and he felt so good after. He's the one that's not smiling in the pics lol. But then he was confirmed the following day which was super cool! on Saturday we had another lesson with Stanik and she still wants to get baptized which is awesome! We are just reading in the Book of Mormon with her and its all going great! She made this really cool case for her Book of Mormon also which I thought was really cool. Also on Sunday I was going a little crazy because we had to go to our room at 7 because it was the days of transfers so I was stuck with my comp but it was all fine. Just need patience right? lol

Well I love all of you and I know this church is true. So many cool things happen everyday when we have the spirit with us and it's just so cool. Make sure all of you guys are reading the Book of Mormon daily also because that's a big thing and that can make a huge impact on your life! 

Peruvian Culture

_They are all a little racist here and aren't afraid to call people what they want. Like it's just a normal thing to call someone negro or gringo which I think is so funny. They also say some worst things but I don't want to say them lol. 

_A lot of things here are just randomly in English which is super funny too. Like we will be walking and someone will have a quote on their shirt in English or this one time we were talking to a member and they said babyshower and i was super confused but thats what they call it down here too. American culture kinda just spreads everywhere.

Well love you all so much!

Elder Beck
