2 January 2010--2010, Oh Yeah!

Wow, I can’t believe we are in 2010 now.  It was a good year, and its hard to believe that I was in the mission for all of 2009.  At this time I was actually just getting ready to leave La Oroya for Pichanaki.  It is really crazy how fast time is going.  I actually got to talk with one of the people from La Oroya the other day.  It was a young man named Eric, and his brother Diego was my first baptism in the mission.  One of the zone leaders, Elder Guillen, who was also in the CCM with me is in La Oroya as a zone leader, and he was calling me with a question about the fund for his zone  Then he told me that he was on a division with Eric, so I got to talk to a really good friend from La Oroya.  It was awesome.  It is always just great to hear from a convert or hear from other missionaries how our converts are doing.  It just doesn’t get any better than to hear they are still strong assisting the church.  

    This week has been pretty awesome.  I got the payment sent Monday early in the morning to be sure that it arrived before the first of January.  It arrived like 2 days early, so that made me feel much better after the problems we had at the end of November with Thanksgiving and everything.  It was good to have it done early.  Christmas and New Years were awesome here too.  We had normal days of proselyting, but at night we ordered Papa John´s pizza, and it was like heaven.  Once again they had some pretty crazy fireworks too.  Did you guys climb Y mountain this year?  The pictures of the house, and Y mountain were amazing too.  I really can’t wait to run up it, and to play soccer and golf in the yard too.  The house really looks absolutely amazing, and all of the pictures you guys sent me were just great.

    We have a ton of new investigators right now, that we are really working hard with so they can accept a baptismal date.  We have 4 really important appointments tonight, and hopefully they will all accept a baptismal date.  We had 5 in sacrament meeting last week, so we really have quite a few progressing, we’ll just have to see what happens this week.  Well just want you guys to know that I love you all a ton, and I don’t know what I would do without you.  Thank you for all of your love and support, and I am praying for you always, and the rest of the family too.  ¡Gracias por todo! Nos vemos!
Love,  Elder Lee

The pictures are of New Years Eve, and the surprise we had in our room in the morning.  Our window is missing a piece of glass, and when I got up in the morning I almost grabbed that bird that was on my desk.  It was pretty crazy!  Good thing I put my glasses on before.  Ha ha.
