Hey Family,
Sounds like things are just as busy as always at home. Its good to hear you guys are having a good time though. Hey dad thanks for those pictures you sent too. Its crazy that the first day in the MTC was over three months ago. Only 10 days until Christmas. I love this time of year so much, the music, decorations, everything. Guess what! Only 10 more days and I get to call home too, ha it is going to be awesome. I'm way excited to talk with you guys again!
Well this weekend was awesome. Saturday we had two baptisms, Gustavo and Susan. I baptized Susan and Elder Lima baptized Gustavo. They both were confirmed in church Sunday, and it was just great to hear there testimonies of how they felt after the baptism. Yesterday we baptized Percy and Iris Alania too. We have been working with them since I got here, and the other missionaries had been working with them before too. They needed to get married, and they were married Saturday, and we baptized them at 4 yesterday. I was a little nervous because Percy wanted me to baptize him, and he is the biggest guy I've ever had to baptize. It was great though, and they were so happy to finally be baptized, and when they gave their testimonies they thanked us for working so hard with them. It was really an amazing weekend. This weekend we are traveling to Hauncayo por a conference for christmas. It should be really fun, and I hear we are going to sing hymns in the plaza. The problem is we have 5 other people that have baptismal dates for this weekend. Mesias, Mary, Sandra, Dorris, and the Hna Pajuelo. We should baptize them Friday or Saturday, but we won't be there when the recieve the gift of the holy Ghost. They are all so great though. I can see the Lord blessing us daily in this work, and I know he is really always answering our prayers. It seems like we are always finding people that are ready to hear the gospel. I feel so lucky to be here in Peru sharing the gospel with everyone.
Oh crazy thing happened Saturday. At the baptism I had my camera for pictures, and I let some of the young women and men in the ward look at the pictures. We were way busy with the wedding of the family Alania and everything else so I didn't look at the pictures until the night. When I pulled our my camera it had 4 pictures on it. One of those kids somehow accidentally deleted all of my pictures. Lets just say I was ready to kill someone. Its all good though life goes on. Hopefully you guys have saved some of the pictures I have sent because they are all gone. Its ok though I've started a new and I have pictures of the family Alania baptism. Everything is going great, and I really couldn't be happier. I love you guys, and appreciate everything you always do for me. Hey and Andrew happy Birthday!! I actually remembered MOnday too, but I couldn't really contact you. I actually will also be doing a pre call home to find out when I should call. So be expecting a call in the next week or so. Look forward to talking to everyone. Love you all!!!!!
