Happy New Year

Hola como estan,

I hope all is good and that everyone had a great New Years.  News Years is crazy here and I don’t like it one bit - all they do is light fireworks, and they have some pretty intense fireworks down here.  I dont know what they’re called but they are so loud and anoying. This week nothing too much happened.  We didn´t have a baptism but we will one this Saturday for Hermana Mariana.  I think I talked about her before.  She´s the one that has a son on a mission.  We might baptize her son too.   He is handicapped.  He understands everything but can´t really talk.  Mariana can understand him but I for sure can´t.  He can’t walk and has limited use in one arm/hand but he is awesome and a really happy kid.

Mom, here´s all your answers to your questions:

How did the baptisms go? The baptisms were good- Hermano Fabrigus is really good, he´ll be an awesome priesthood holder in the church
Do you tract going door to door or what?  We don´t really tract door to door - mostly in the street and most people are outside.  It´s funny, all of the houses are fenced here so to have them answer you yell buenes
How many lesson do you give each day?  like 6 or 7, we could teach more but Elder Galan really likes to talk.
How is the food? The food is alright.  I’m still getting used to it
Have you gotten sick from the food or water?  I haven´t gotten sick yet
How is your cough and did you ever take the z-pack?  No it´s almost gone so I haven’t yet
Can you buy just about everything you want there for food?  Yes - not in our city but in Lima, the beef jerky was good though and you can’t get it here.
Are their food stores like ours or is the city too small to have big stores?  In Pineda they’re just Pulparias.  They’re tiny.  You don’t walk in them  - it´s just a little store front.
How often are the tranfers and do you think you will stay in Pineda and with Elder Galan?  Um. I don’t know.  Transfers are in a week and a half, so we´ll find out then.  I’ll stay for sure but Elder Galan might go.
Do you ever do service projects?  We haven´t yet.  I wish we did.  I did some service when I went on divisions but for some reason Elder Galan doesn´t like to.
I need to know what your dress shoe size is because it is different then a 12 or 13.  Just in case I need to send more.
 
Thanks for everything,
I LOVE YOU ALL!!!
