12 January 2009--Hola Familia!

Well nothing too excited happenend this week, compared to last week at least. Oh and Estefany the girl I baptized is fine. It was really weird because just after the baptism she went and changed, and came back in and bore her testimony and everything. So it really didn't end up being too serious, but well, that is definitely going to be one baptism I will never forget.
Your right my face has gotten burned. The weather here is so weird because at times the sun comes out, and it is hot, but then like 5 minutes later it is raining and cold again. So I always forget to put on sun screen because it is always pretty cold in the morning, but I actually remembered the other day, and it is getting better. Don't worry I set the sunscreen out on my desk too, so I wont forget. The weather here really isn't too cold, at least compared to what you guys are dealing with. Holy cow, it sounds like you are having a lot of snow and ice. I think our problem is our room is 3 floors down so it is always cold, but jump roping always keeps me warm :)
The language is coming along. I actually get a lot of complements on my spanish when people find out I've only been in Peru for 3 months. I definitely need to continue practicing though, there is still so much more to learn. Its nice because at least 3 days a week I have like 45 minutes for language study.
We had a great Sunday yesterday. We had 7 investigators in sacrament meeting, and there were a ton of inactives that we had visited. It was really great, and there were probably around 80 people in the meeting. This branch is really great, and the goal is to become a ward, the problem is that we need all of the other branches in the area to convert into wards too. Because I guess it has to be a stake, so it might be a while. It is great to have faithful members though.
Crazy thing is that we have changes again in a week. This change went much faster than the last one. When your working hard time just seems to be flying. I think I will probably be in La Oroya for at least one more change, and I think Elder Lima will probably leaving this change. But who knows, its all in the hands of the Lord. I really don't want to leave though because we have some great investigators preparing for baptism. Rosario and Roberto is a couple we are working with, and they have come to church the last three weeks. They are preparing for their marriage this February, and the next week their baptizm. There are just so many great families here, it is really going to be hard to leave.
Everything is really going great. We are going to have at least one more baptizm saturday, and possibly 2 depending on the interviews and everything. An 8 year old named Rafael Quijaite, and another girl named Dorris Morales. Things are just going great, and I couldn't be happier.
Oh this morning I pulled out the family history stuff, and read the story about where the name Lee came from. How awesome, people are always asking me where it came from because I'm not chinese, and now I can tell them it came from some farms in Denmark. Ha thats awesome.
Well I'm just about out of time, but I just want you guys to know that I love you a ton. I know this church is true, and my testimony is strengthened every day through the power of the Spirit. Love you guys, and thanks for everything you do. Thanks for writing everyone!

Love Elder Lee
