Christmas Fun and Another Baptism!













Super awesome week!!!
Went on splits with Elder Davey again, in his area. Its called Bella Vista which means good view, and for a reason. Its up on the mountain and its a better view of Cocha than from the Christus statue. Also they farm flowers there so its super green and beautiful, buuuut I forgot my camera so I will send good pics next time we do splits.
Christmas caroling Friday night was sweet, we caroled in the Plaza of Quiacollo, there was actually a ton of people and there was a huge crowd, and we picked a good spot cause they lit off fireworks behind us. The plaza is huge and was just packed with people, there was a parade in the street too, and random street performers. We sang and gave out 35 gallons worth of hot chocolate lol we contacted a ton cause they were willing to listen after we just gave them hot chocolate and bread, fun night
Christmas eve we had a baptism!!!! Super cool guy, named Costo, way friendly and nice, his friend baptized him, after we went to the ward mission leaders house, with 2 other elder companionships and a sister companionship, and had dinner and cake which was awesome
Christmas day was unbelievably clutch, one of my best Christmas´s actually. My awesome parents sent a nice Christmas package which I opened in the morning, much needed letters and pics and candy and some other things. We went to church which was just an hour then watched the best two years, forgot how funny it is lol, especially funny and motivating too when you are on a mission. After we had lunch then SKYPE! Christmas skype is life
Merry Christmas to all, have a good week!
