But this week was pretty good! We had a bunch of activities for Christmas so it was a little hard to get lessons and stuff but it was fun!!! We had the ward christmas party on saturday and it was a blast! The people here LOVE to dance it's crazy. I am sad because we can't dance and it was the biggest temptation. I wanted to dance so bad. But it was fun. The Elders sang a Christmas song and me and Elder Gringo sang Jingle Bells and everyone loved it.
This weekend we also had a baptism!! We married the family on friday and then on saturday we baptized the wife. The husband was already a member but super inactive. But they want to go to the temple so they are on the right track!!! The problem here in Peru is there are tons of couples that aren't married but have like three or four kids. Getting married here is super super duper hard and just a pain in the butt. But the mission helps a ton with papers and money and everything works out. It was cool to see the change in them they are so happy right now!
But one crazy thing happened. Right after the lady we baptized got confirmed on Sunday she started feeling super sick so they took her to the hospital. It turns out she had been pregnant for two months and didn't know it. Unfortunatley she lost the baby. It was just an insane occurance of events but she is going to be okay. She has two little girls already and I dont know if she could handle another.
I got your package mom!!! HOLY CRAP THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Like for real, that was the best package ever. I love the 12 days of christmas. Best part of my day. It is so cool. You are the best. Thank you so much. And thank you for sending a package for my comp!!! I cant tell you how much he appreicates it. He literally has nothing. like everything he has, has been given to him. Everything. Thank you so much. You have given a 20 year old boy a reason to believe in Santa Claus. And I am being a good boy and I havent opened my presents yet. I am waiting but it is killing me. Thank you so much mom. Like for real. I can't describe it. You're the best.
But that is all from me this week!!! I can't wait to see you on WEDNESDAY!!!!! WOOOOOO!!!!!! Can't wait. I love you so much!!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!
Poco a Poco
Love,
Elder McIff
