Well, this Christmas was a little different, but I enjoyed every minute of it. I have grown to have more family then just those of my own blood. I had an amazing time talking with my family through skype and am so grateful for all of there support.
I got transferred today from Lima to a city called Pisco. It is more south and is super cool from what I can tell. I just got here today, so I havent really got to see much yet. I am super excited to start over in a new area and really give it all that I have. It is so strange to pack up your bags and head off to a new area. These areas really become your home, with the ward as your family. I have really been blessed and am so grateful for the opportunity that I had to serve in the area of Tablada de Lurin. Now I am here in Pisco and I couldn´t be more excited. My companion´s name is Elder Choque and he seems cool. I have only been in this area for a couple of hours, so I will write more about it the next week.
We were working with a older lady to help here get baptized this week. Her name is Delivia and she has to be around 70. She had her interview to be baptized and had some problems with her understanding of the Restauration of the Gospel through the prophet Joesph Smith. This got me thinking about the last conference when I believe it was Elder Anderson who spoke on the importance of this point. I had the opportunity to visit all of the church history sites before my mission, so I have a really storng testimony that I know that Joesph Smith was a Prophet of God. I challenge all of you to really think about the importance that Joesph Smith played in the history of the church.
I love you all and am so grateful for the influence that you are in my life. I often look at the example of you all to give me strength. You really are my inspiration. Until Next Week!!!

here are some photos of sunday night. The one photo with the family was a funny photo, but nobody else did anything. This family is part of my family now. The other picture is of me with my two favorite guys in the ward of Tablada, Brother Tanta and Brother Alexia Flores. They are some incredible guys.
