Hi Mom, Wow this week is Thanksgiving!  That's fast. This week went well, we have another baptismal date with a family we are teaching (one of the very few times I have been able to teach a whole family together) their son has a baptismal date he's 18, and yesterday in the lesson he told he parents that he wants to be baptized and they said the would support him and be at his baptism, I pretty much wanted to do backflips, we also talked to them about baptism and they said they would pray about it, so I'm really happy for that. This is the last week of the transfer so Sunday I'll find out if I have a transfer or not, I'm pretty sure I will but we'll see.  Things were pretty interesting this week my companion tried to go home and if he would have had enough money for a taxi to Lima he wouldn't be here right now, but things are good now. Mom hope you all have a great thanksgiving, I got a birthday card from Grandma today, that made me happy, I hope she is doing good, love you guys, till next week!

Mom, 
Thanks for sending me birthday wishes, that was very nice of all you! Thanks for sending me money.  I was able to buy some ties and stuff that I needed that was very nice.  The Lord's work is progressing and that makes me happy. This week we had conference in the mission for two days, which was sweet.  My mission president is really awesome. This week went well, our investigator with a baptismal date is progressing and were teaching her family too.  We had a really powerful lesson teaching a family with ¨The Family¨ and we were able to help a member teaching her about the Atonement.  It helped me as well remember how grateful I am for my Savior. Seeing the Atonement work in the lives of other people, is really something special.  Wow, Christmas is coming soon like you said.  That's crazy!  It's not really the same though - all the holidays here are holidays of saints and apostasy, where everyone is drunk and stuff.  Oh yeah, speaking of drunk people I was spanked by a drunk lady this week!  I love you guys, hope you have a great week!  Love, Aaron

Hi Mom,

Thanks for wishing me Happy Birthday!  I would say between my 21st and 22nd year I have changed the most. Hope things turn out for the best with the election, I've noticed that the value of the dollar keeps going down, they base the Sole on that.  This week went well, we found a really cool investigator this week that used to assist in Lima, and now she has a baptismal date.  She came to church on Sunday, the testimony meeting really helped her.  We also met a lady that said she had a dream the night before that two angels came to her door.  I'm thankful that things are starting to turn around here.   We've walked a lot lately.  My companions shoes are complety shot! Our mission president just happened to show up this week at ten o'clock.  Our bathroom wasn't very clean, that didn't go so well ha ha, but now I would feel safe to say we have the cleanest bathroom in the whole mission ha ha.  I got a letter from Alex this week and Aunt Mary that was really nice.  Thanks for what you said.  Love you Mom!  Hope you have a great week.

Hi Mom,
Glad you had a good conference weekend, and that you got to spend time with Aunt Margaret and Uncle Doug. The conference was awesome! To answer Jennie's question, I was able to watch it in English.  All the Americans gathered in the secretary's office to watch it online but we had to go with audio because the internet was too slow.  Sunday we got to watch it better, it's always better to hear the Word of God in your own language, it has a bit of a different meaning.  It was awesome to hear about the new temple hear in Peru, the members were way excited, and the age change was awesome too. I liked all of the talks.  What Elder Bednar said about testimony really hit me, and priesthood session was really good. We rented a bus to bring the members from Urcos, to Cusco and the majority of them showed up, which was awesome.  I was really suprised, they were in another chapel, but I heard it went well. I had the most awesome baptisimal challange this week, my companion asked him if he would like to be baptised and he said, OF COURSE!  We invited him to conference and everything too, but he wasnt able to make it, we'll have to see what happened.  We also taught a lady about the worshiping of saints it was an awesome lesson.  Things are good.   Love ya mom
