Christmas Music

Definitely getting into the Christmas spirit, this week we wrapped book of mormons in wrapping paper and put notes in them and we'll be having a fun ding dong ditch session this coming week. There's a ton of things we have to do this month but it'll all be super fun. Our mission is having a christmas party but this time I'll be going to Cusco for it which will be awesome, we've been practicing for a song that we'll be lip synching and dancing too. For the stake christmas party all us northamericans will be singing All I want for Chirstmas is You haha. I will also be playing a long Christmas interlude on the guitar for the stake which I'm terrified about but honestly I'm just glad that I've been able to play the guitar so much on the mission. Lots of music practice but we're lovin it. It's been a blast living with the zone leaders and sharing the area with Elder Haws. So yah our ward has 4 missionaries in it which is super cool, it's kinda weird to see other missionaries in your area sometimes cause there's hardly any wards in our mission with more than 2. We teach 2 english classes a week which is a blast cause tons of people and investigators come. We're all trying to learn Quechua as well casue so many people here speak it, someone even gave a prayer yesterday at church in Quechua haha. 

So yah we're teaching lots of people! We're teaching a family which is kinda complicated but I'll explain it, so Edith is the mom and she's an investigator, she goes to church a ton and loves it, her husband listens to us but doesn't really want much to do with anything, but Edith wants to be baptized but needs to get married and her husband is kinda iffy on it but he said maybe in January so we're prayin for that. AND Edith's daughter Anel was baptized last year and introduced us to her boyfriend Eduardo this week, so basically we just teach them all at the same time and it's actually really cool, everyone's kind of at a different point in learning about the gospel but we're always able to help them all out especially from Anel's help and Edith is already a pro too so it's easy haha. We're also teaching Jennifer, she's awesome and always lets us in and has really good questions, she told us she wants to be totally sure about the church before she is baptized and so we're helping her recognize and receive that testimony right now. so this morning we helped a member make ice cream to sell (it was a ton of ice cream) and she lives with an investigator that we have named Olivia, she's doing really well and she always reads what we give her and loves it, so we're planning on asking her about baptism here real quick. So yah hopefully you enjoyed my little summary of our investigators, it's not everyone but they are the ones we feel are going to progress a ton!! LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
