Hola Familia!


Well it seems like you guys have had a great week and are going to have a great week spending time with the family! Well I'm going to make this email short because I'll be talking to you guys on Friday!


Down here in San Juan de Lurigancho, Lima, Peru everyone is getting ready for the huge parties and excitement that their going to have this Christmas! There's a lot more traffic and people are shooting off fireworks and eating lots and lots and lots of Paneton. I really like Paneton. All of the houses have their Christmas lights up and are decorating their houses with their nativity scenes and everything. Mila Zitting might know all about this. hahaha!


This past week we found some new people to teach and some of them went to church yesterday! It was awesome! This week we also have a baptism! We recently helped a family of less actives to start going to church again and the oldest daughter isn't a member of the church. She has been to church 3 times and now she's ready to get baptized! This week should be a great one!


This thursday I'll probably call you guys at night to set a time for the skype call on Friday! If I don't call, expect a call on skype at about 6 in the afternoon on Friday. Can't wait to see you guys!


I love you guys!

Hola Familia!

Well it seems like you guys have had quite a great week! Here in Peru I've had a great week!

So as you all know, my other companion had to go back home because of a health emergency and I've received a new companion! His name is Elder Jesus! He's from my group of missionaries so he's going to go home with me or in other words we both have 16 months on the mission. We get along really well, and we are working super hard. My compànion also knows how to speak English! So sometimes we just speak english. It actually is helping me to remember how things are actually said. You guys will definitely notice that my English is terrible on Christmas Day!

In our area we're working with a new Family that we found! They're super awesome! Its a family of 5! A Dad and his wife(girlfriend) of 20 years (They're not married), and they have 3 kids! 19, 11, 8. They need to get married, so that will happen in January or February. We are also working with another family that has plans to get married and baptized on the 15th of January. So we're nice and busy right now trying to get people married! It's tiring but VERY rewarding!

I hope everything is going well up there in the states, and that all of you are happy and doing the things you're suppose to!

Love you all!

Hola Familia!

Well it seems like you guys have had quite a great week! I saw the pictures on Dropbox, what Lily is doing looks awesome! She needs to stick with it so that she can get really good!

Down here in Lima Peru, I can at least tell you guys this much, this week has been a very good, busy, and bad week. So I'll start out with the good! This week we found a bunch of new people to teach and a really awesome family of 5! Were gonna work hard to help this family to get closer to their Savior! It was pretty busy with all the work I'm having to do with my District. In this mission, we have to visit all the members of our District in 24 hours every week! So I was busy doing that kind of stuff! We also have a baptism for this month. It's the daughter of a less active that has just been reactivated in Church again! They're really awesome! There is also a chance that we might marry a family of investigators that have been going to church for almost 7 month now. Here in Peru, to get married, you need your Birth Certificate. Their original birth certificates got burned in a fire, so they went to go do them about 2 weeks ago and if everything goes well, they should arrive here tomorrow and they'll get married this month! So, for that reason my week has been great and busy!

Now the bad- So that you all know, my companion had to go back home for a health emergency that he had this past weekend. It made me sad to have to see a great missionary go home for something that suddenly happened. Please could you all pray for him and his family. His name is Elder Hernandez. Right now I'm without a companion. I'm just hanging out with the Zone Leaders for right now, I'll probably get a new one tonight!

I love you guys a lot!

Cant wait to see you on Skype Christmas day!
