Hola familia, Como esta!
Mom, I forgot to tell you that your poem for Christmas was awesome! Sounds like things are going well at home. That package isn't here yet, but I'm pretty sure you sent it to the right address so it should be getting here soon. A year pass to seven peaks that sounds awesome too. It will be fun to go with you guys in a few years! Hey Dad don't worry I write in my journal every night, and I'm up to about 100 pictures right now so everything is going good. Allison I'm going to send some pictures of some ruines we hiked to here in La Oroya! They were pretty sweet, and the kid who took us to them said that the Inca's lived up there during wars or something like that. It was pretty awesome. I couldn't believe they lived that high in the mountains. Steph, Andrew, and Jen hope the break was a lot of fun. Keep working hard in school, and reading your scriptures and all that good stuff.
Ok now for this crazy weekend. We had three baptisms. Three sisters named Estefany, Katy, y Jaquie. We had there baptisms saturday night, and I'm sure that was the most interesting baptism that I've ever had. I baptized Estefany, and first of all I have to tell you she is one of the most hyper people I have ever met. When I baptized her she came out of the water with a big smile on her face with her eyes closed. I think she got some water in her windpipe or something because then she passed out! Holy cow was that crazy. I was sitting there holding her so her head didn't go under water. I sat her down on the steps telling her to breath while everybody outside of the pila was yelling instructions. Within a minute or so she coughed a little and then with a big smile opened her eyes and was fine. Ha ha good times. It was hilarious because a little kid yelled "Ella salio muerta!" She came out dead! Oh man that was interesting, and hopefully that doesn't happen again.
I actually had my first confirmation sunday too. Usually the Presidencia de la Rama do the confirmations, but Jaquie wanted me to do it. So it was a great experience also. There are a lot fewer people here, but we had close to 100 people in church yesterday!! We are really being blessed and are really hoping for at least 2 more baptisms this month. Love you guys, and thank you for all of your prayers.
I'm going to attach some pictures of the baptism, and the ruins.
