HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!! 

number 2 in peru! so glad im with a gringo cause they totally don't celebrate it here. but we definitely started the day off awesome! today just luckily happened to be our pday and we had temple! it was awesome. after the session got some pics with the zone and got some that you can try for the christmas card! i will send them on Monday becuase they are not loading right now. 

i guess ill give you guys the low down on whats been going on the last week and a half last monday for pday we went to a market in our zone , it was pretty cool, super busy but its all good. ummm the highlight of the week was a multizone conference we had with elder waddell of the 70. he is absolutely amazing, super spiritual and taught us soooo much. afterwards we had a meeting with him with all the zone leaders and he taught us some cool stuff and really got us excited and helped to motivate us even more with things we can do to help the mission. 

also in the conference we had the long awaited mtc room reunion, me, rider, capps, and norris. sadly there was no time to take pics so ya sorry about that.

but it was awesome having us all together. 

what an awesome day it was.

this week we are gonna have 2 baptisms - a boy named jesus and a girl named stephany.

they are way awesome and im super excited for them. 

So I guess the plan today is that Biliter and I are eating Thanksgiving dinner with  the ccm president, we arent really sure. but we will get it all figured out.

well i have wasted like half my time trying to get my pics sent for the christmas card but its taking too long. ill get them to you on monday!

i love my mission and i love ya all! have a great day. give all the family my love.
