Cake Face
I'm not sure if this is a South America thing or a Bolivia thing, but birthdays here are real interesting. After singing happy birthday and blowing out the candles everybody starts chanting "bite it bite it!" Then when you go to bite the cake someone presses ur whole face down into the cake. Also the occasional egg cracked onto the head is normal. The best part is that everyone still eats the cake after u just bathed your face in it!
Being a missionary on your birthday is so fun! Waking up at 6:30am to go serve the Lord. Nothing better!
On Tuesday we were talking to a dude named Walter. Cool dude who's lived outside Riberalta in the jungle for most of his life. So he's pretty much Tarzan. We were teaching him about the restoration, and we had a member with us.
Out of the blue it started absolutely pouring rain. With the sheet metal roof, it was super loud. Our member friend started talking, but you couldn't hear a single word he said. I was praying so hard that the rain would just die down for 2 seconds.
And boom! Out of the blue the rain stopped! The member bore his testimony about the Book of Mormon and of Joseph Smith, and the spirit was super strong!
Thanks for the emails!!
Que tengan un día bendecido!
