Hola Familia,
Sorry if this email is full of typos, the keyboard I am using is crap and the keys either stick or don't type. I can't believe it is already Thanksgiving, time has flown by. They don't celebrate thanksgiving here so I won't do anything. Maybe some of the Gringos will get together and we will go do something. I can't believe it cost that much to send 2 packages. I really don't need anything, I could have waited. Is it expensive to send packages through Vanessa? I have not seen the frog smoothie, but if I do, I might just have to try it. I'm only in Lima once, right? That's too bad that Roy lost but cool how they made it to the finals. Chelsea is serving a mission!? I didn't see that one coming.
Thanks everyone for all the birthday wishes. I had a really good birthday. We had a zone meeting in the morning and the whole zone was wishing Elder Delgado and I a happy birthday. His birthday is the 22nd also. At the end of the zone meeting the zone leaders brought out 2 cakes for everyone to eat. They sang to us and then both of us got our faces shoved into one of the cakes. My face got shoved in so far, my nose touched the table. It was really fun and the zone is really cool. Afterwards, we went to lunch with the Familia Berospi. He is an RM and is really cool. After we were finished eating, his wife brought out a cake. The members here are awesome. Percy and Paola are making me come to their house this Tuesday to give me a cake because they were busy on Saturday. Don't worry about me here Mom, the members take care of me. For the rest of my birthday I just relaxed. We didn't teach that much and just went around and visited a few members. I ended the night by going to a restaurant and eating pollo a la brasa. It was a good day.
As for the mission work here, It was alright. I was supposed to baptize a girl on Saturday, but she just up and moved back to her house in the Selva. So that stunk. We should baptize Roni, the 17 year old kid, this Saturday but we have to get his dad's permission. He has to sign the permission slip and he is either never home or passed out drunk. I am sure everything will work out though.
We have had a little trouble finding new people to teach but we are going to focus more on that this week.
I saw something really cool the other day, but I decided it might be better to tell you after my mission. It wasn't in my area though because I was on a work visit. Don't worry I have felt really safe here and you don't need to worry about anything.
As I looked over your email again, I realized I didn't answer your question. Yes there are M&Ms here but none are peanut butter. They only have snickers and M&Ms and sometimes hersheys. They all cost like 4 soles though. They are really expensive but every once in a while I buy myself a treat.
Thanks for all your support,
Elder Karter
