Los Andes

We had 4 investigators in church on Sunday... that's new for me. I'm not used to that.

Luis and Alejandra have made great progress. Luis has stopped drinking, and is working on smoking. We have noticed great changes in him and his behavior. He has also noticed this. He is much happier, and is spending more time with his family. We are very excited for them, and hope that they will be able to get baptized in the coming weeks. 

Both of my companions, Elder Riches, and Elder Verón (de Paraguay) had their birthdays this weekend, as well as Alejandra, so yesterday we ate lunch with Luis and Alejandra, and we made a birthday cake that was sent to Elder Riches last week. Fun times were had by all. 

Leontina really wants to get baptized, but wants to ask forgiveness from some family members before she gets baptized. She is working through the repentance process to prepare for baptism, which we think will be in the first little bit of January. 

I guess that's about it. Oh... there's a Burger King in this city....

Feliz Navidad
