Hola Familia,

I am looking forward to calling you guys too. It doesn't really feel like Christmas though. The time is just flying by. We have been so busy that I haven't even been able to think about Christmas because we have been so busy. I will be calling at about 10 in the morning my time. I don't know what time that is for you guys there. It is either 8 or 9. I will probably be calling some time earlier in the week to verify the time I will call.

This week was pretty good for us. We had two investigators come to church with us this week. Nancy who came to church last week came to church again. We set a baptismal date for her for January 2. I am not too worried about her. She will be ready. She is really hard to teach though because she isn't very smart. She doesn't know how to read and loses focus alot of the time. The teaching is really slow at learning but loves going to church and wants to get batized.

Lilian didn't make it to church this week. We went by to pick her up but no one answered the door. We went by later that day and she asked why we never came by. She had woken up a little late, got ready really fast, and then waited for us. We must have passed by while she was getting ready. We were a little upset that she just didn't go alone but at least we know that she wanted to come. We are working with her so she can get baptized but we don't have a specific date yet.

With Christmas this week it will be a little harder to visit people and find new investigators. This week is what we call P-week instead of just P-day. It is kind of hard to work this week so we will just play a little bit. We will keep working with our investigators and try our best but it will be hard.

I can't wait to hear from all of you. I am really excited for Christmas and it will be great to see and hear from you.

Love,
Elder Isaacson

We are going to go out and work because we will be having our p-day on Thursday. Thursday we will get together as a mission and have a Christmas barbecue. Oh, I forgot to mention in my letter that the power went out 3 times this week. We were left up in the hills when it went pitch black. I am going to bring a flashlight with me from now on. I will be calling from a converts house. I have a lot of invitations for Christmas dinner. The thing about Peru, is that the Christmas dinner and celebration is at midnight on Christmas eve. Since it is so late, we can't go. We will just watch all the fireworks from our roof.
