Well put us down for one baptism here in Huaycan, and a whole lot more to come. Saturday we had the baptism of Luis Rodriguez, an investigator that has been investigating for a while, and he finally was baptized Saturday It was so awesome to see how excited he was. On Sunday he was the first one in the church ready to receive the Holy Ghost. He lives alone and is 24 years old, but he is awesome, and he shared his testimony that he wants to share the gospel with everyone. Maybe he has a mission in store for him, we’ll see. We actually had a fast on Friday for all of the missionaries health, and for our goals. I was so happy, I love fasting because everyone time we do we receive so many blessings, and this time didn’t change one bit. First we had the baptism of Luis. We are teaching another sister Yovanna who we put a baptismal date for the 31st of July. She knows its true, and wants to be baptized, the problem is her family are Catholics. She is 24 years old, and Sunday she told us she has made her decision, she is going to be baptized this Friday! Holy cow is the Lord blessing us. Then at church a new family came for the first time that the missionaries had contacted like 4 months ago, but never taught. They said they just felt they needed to come. Oh man was I happy, they are an awesome family, and they really enjoyed church. We also had a new investigator Abel Cardenas come to church and to the baptism, we will be challenging him for the 15th to be baptized too. I just couldn’t believe all of the blessings we were receiving. I wish I could fast everyday. It just shows if we sacrifice just a little bit how much the Lord will bless us!
We are just working hard, and being blessed. The problem is my companion has been too tired to run in the mornings so I’m stuck jump roping again, but I’ll be trying to convince him to run again. Our Pensionista is awesome, and she always is there to serve us in whatever we need, and she lets us teach lessons in her house too. So everything is going great, and I’m loving every minute of it. We taught 22 lessons with a member present this week, even more than last week. Everyone is helping us so much, I’m just loving it. Thanks for all of your support, and I look forward to hearing more from everyone. Oh and today they informed us that we can’t send letters through pouch, and they gave me back like 10 letters. We can still receive, we just can’t send, so everyone there are letters coming. Thanks for everything, Love You!!Love, Elder Lee
Oh and the pictures are of the baptism. My shoe that is falling apart now (I can't remember what I need to do for the 2 year warranty thing, maybe you can help me out with that dad, thanks), and Patasca (the worst thing I have eaten here in Peru) 
Its a soup that they put every part of the cow in it. They even cook it with the head inside! I had a hoof that had hair on it still, man was it hard to force down. The funny thing was everyone loves it! It just about killed me :) Hasta Luego!
