Well it has been an awesome week, and we are going to finish it with the baptism of Branco today. Its going to be different than any other baptism we have had because he is from Yugoslavia, or I guess Serbia now. He is really awesome, and has been attending the church for like the last three months. He had a problem with smoking before, but after we taught the Word of Wisdom he has completely quit. Its pretty funny because he doesn't speak Spanish too well so we teach with a ton of actions. We printed off the questions for the interview in Serbio so it would be a little easier for him. He came out and asked me to baptize him, and said that I am going to be his padrino. :) It was pretty funny, but we are just really excited for him.
Yesterday was pretty crazy getting all of the monthly payments ready for Monday. The zone Santa Molina had their interviews here in the office yesterday, and I'm pretty sure that one of them is going to be my re-emplacement. Presidente was in an interview with Elder Moody, and he called me asking me what day I was going to start training. I told him on Tuesday, and I'm pretty sure he was telling Elder Moody. So we'll see what happens, but I'm just excited to be training and getting out into the field again. It’s going to be awesome.
You’re not going to believe it, but my companion Elder Rojas started running this week. He has run the last four days in a row, and is really excited about running every day. How happy I am right now. It’s always awesome when someone wants to run every day. At times he is a little lazy, and it is really hard to get him to leave the office and teach. Sometimes when Elders get called into the office they use it as an excuse to not work in the field. It makes me sad because they are really wasting the Lords time. So that has been a struggle I have had, trying to get him to work efficiently so we can proselyte more. I really think we could have more success; it’s just been a struggle. Its almost over though, and we are going forward. It has really been a good experience in these wards too, and I'm going to miss these people so much. We are going to have to come to Peru on a vacation someday so I can visit them again. 
Well I don't have to much more news, just happy to be here in the work. Today I have 19 months in the mission! How crazy is that! I still remember saying bye to you guys in the MTC. I was thinking how Cecily is going through those same experiences right now What a huge blessing the mission is. I'm really excited for her to be out there too.
Well thanks for all of the news, love hearing from you as always. Talk to you next week!
Love,
Elder Lee
