Week #44- Christmas in Peru!

Skype with Taylor was AWESOME. We got to talk with our missionary for a hour and a half! He is doing SO good. He is happy & healthy and we couldn't be prouder.


This week was fun, we were able to visit a ton of families this week, because no one else would let us in their house. Everyone was busy for Christmas, but it was fun. Not quite as fun as at home, but the families here are really cool. On Friday we had a talent show in our branch. We were going to sing in spanish and english but they started late like always so we didnt have time to sing. It was cool a few people danced and others singed, and others did other stuff. On Christmas Eve a family invited us for lunch and we ate turkey. It was really good. We should be having atleast one baptism this week if not 2 so we are really excited. I have been waiting for this baptism forever and we have really been working hard for this baptism. She is the sister of a recent convert and she is part of my favorite family here. It is really hot here and I am jealous of the cold in Utah. On saturday we helped clean the church building and we had to move the Piano down 3 stories. It was so heavy and I was on the bottom so I had a lot of the weight on me. We scratched a few walls and broke a window trying to get it down, but we finally got it down there. My body has been sore ever since haha. I really need to work out more, but my pensionista built my confidence when she told me that I wasnt fat and that I have a bonito cuerpo or a beautiful body haha. I have always wanted to here that from girl but I just wasnt expecting it from someone that is almost 70 haha. This week was really fun and we have a few families inviting us to their house for New Years so we are excited for that as well.
Love, Elder Monson
