Ha ha we get internet today, but I am so excited to talk on the phone with you guys in an hour you don't even know. I can't believe what happened with the phone. I actually called twice before, and I thought your phone was off or something. That is why I called Steph's phone. It is really amazing that I was able to talk to you guys for 2 minutes, and it was so good to hear your voices. I don't know what has happened to Andrew, he sounded like a grown man! I can't believe he is 5'11!! I think he is going to pass me up, and like you guys said start beating up on me :)
I don't really know what to say because I'll be talking to you in about an hour, but things are going great as always. Christmas eve was insane! We visited a bunch of families and every single family loaded us up with Paneton and hot chocolate. I ate probably an entire paneton last night, and already today probably another half. Paneton is like fruit cake and it is soo good. I don't think I could fit another piece in my stomach though. It was crazy too, they celebrate Navidad different here. They all stay up until midnight, and then I swear every person in La Oroya was lighting off fireworks. It was awesome. It was definitely the loudest bunch of fireworks I have heard for about 15 minutes.
Last weekend we had three more baptisms!! We baptized Mesias, Mery, and the Hna Pajuelo. I baptized Mesias and the Hna Pajuelo, and it was an amazing experience just like all of the other baptisms. The Hna Pajuelo is just great. She actually has a daughter in the mission, and it was great to finally see her baptized. We have been working with her the whole time I've been here. All of her siblings are Catolicos so she had a hard time with it, but I can testify that the spirit touched her heart and she decided one day without a doubt she was getting baptised. It was so amazing to see our prayers answered, and she is really recieving a lot of support from her husband and her family. This work is just great.
I feel so lucky to be here in Peru, where the people are so receptive and willing to hear our message. I know that some other missionionaries only get like one or even no baptisms. Its just great to be able to work as hard as I can, and help as many people as I can recieve this gospel.
I love you guys, and always love reading all of the letters. Its so good to hear what great things you guys are doing at home. Ill talk to you in about 40 minutes.
Love Elder Lee
