So this week was very.. Christmas-y!
We had a Christmas Zone Conference this week with Presidente and Hermana Li and the assistants. It was super fun! We learned a lot about our purpose as a missionary to find, teach, and baptize. Afterwards, we had a Christmas dinner and watched a slideshow of pictures of Presidente`s family.

... And dessert was the Peru classic... Paneton and Hot Chocolate. Paneton is a like a cake thing, I don't really know how to describe it... hahaha! I didn't like it at first but now I do. Paneton only comes out at Christmas time because that's the favorite dessert for Christmas down here. I'm going to try to bring some home so you can try it :)
This week... ORLANDO`S DIVORCE PAPERS FINALLY CAME IN!!! after MONTHS of waiting... they finally came in! We`re so happy! Next Friday, they're going to get married and then next Saturday, Elsa will get baptized! We`re super stoked!
Noemi and Richard accepted marriage and we`re going to work on that this week! We were actually super worried because Richard`s dad came to visit and we thought he might be opposed to the whole idea of baptism and marriage .. but actually he`s totally for it! His dad`s name is Ricardo and he was actually receiving the missionaries in Chiclayo. He came to church with is son yesterday! He`s going to stay here in Moyo for a time and so now we have one more investigator in our teaching pool!
This week.. my companion is going to end her mission! On Thursday, she goes to Iquitos and on Monday she flies home! It's gonna be weird working over here in Moyobamba without her... she knows so much about the members (she served here for seven months). I don't know what I'm going to do without her expertise! One of the other Hermanas in this zone is also going home so I'm going to be with Hermana Lazarte this week... (their apartment has HOT water!!!) When I call on Christmas you' ll get to meet her! She's super cute... she just started her mission this transfer and I'm stoked to get to know her more!!
