We had a little cake with our district that I bought for everyone and apparently it is a tradition to shove your face in the cake if it is your birthday. I think it is the weirdest tradition but if it is your birthday, everyone does it. It is kinda funny, but also a little gross. Later the next day, our pensionista made us pizza!!!! It was super nice of her, and normally I don't like pineapple on my pizza, but the pizza she made was good with pineapple, so I am satisfied. We also drank lots of Inca Cola, which I actually really like now. I will miss Inca Cola. It was a little weird having a birthday away from home, because it feels like just another day, but it was good. We took lots of pictures to remember it.
Also, funny story - the other day we were walking past a group of teenage girls and one of them said loudly ¨tan guapo el es¨ which means 'he is so hot.' Haha! I don´t think they knew I heard them, but my companion started laughing and I felt kinda uncomfortable because that was the first time in my life someone has said that and then I later asked them for directions and contacted them because I didn´t know where we were at.
Other than that, this week went by super fast. I got to call home on mothers day and my birthday, which was neat. I hope you guys all had a great mothers day!! I love my mom so much and all that she has done for me, and also my amazing Grandma and Granny. I am super grateful for the amazing examples I have in my life that inspire me to be a better person. My mom has always been such a great example of a strong testimony and showing her love for the Lord through the way she faces adversity and inspires me to be the best missionary I can be. And for that, I am forever indebted to her. I love you mom!!
Thanks to all who sent me birthday wishes and emails!!! It really meant a lot to me. I hope you guys all have a fantastic week!
