Hola Familia,

It sounds like it was quite the crazy and busy week. I can't believe Kaden is already home. It hit me the other day that I don't have any time left. It has gone by so fast. I bet it feels great to have the house to yourself. In a few weeks it won't be like that because I will be there. That stinks that Kyle got rear ended and the guy ran. What is worse, is that that happens all the time here. I have been rearended while in a taxi two times in these last 2 years. It also sounds like you are working hard getting the yard all ready for my homecoming. You shouldn't worry to much. I am also jealous of Mom and Kenzie. They are living up every last minute while I am gone. They started my mission by going on a trip and are now finishing it with a cruise. They probably don't want me to come home so they can keep traveling.

We had a pretty good week here. It was a little slow and weird. It was the second half of the Peruvian Presidential Elections. That means that there was no church on Sunday. We did an activity Saturday night so the investigators could get a church attendence. It was the same time as the Peru soccer game against Haiti. We didn't have a real good turn out. It could be a rough month on baptisms in the zone, but we will have to wait and see.

Everyone here is going crazy over the Copa America. A lot of people have rubbed it in my face that the US got killed by Columbia. It sounds like they played pretty bad. Hopefully I will be home so I can see some of the games.

We have found a few new investigators that are starting to progress. One of them is Maria's daughter, Katy. She is 14 and pretty cool. Her cousin is Felipe's daughter and brought her to church. Maria wants us to teach her daughter and she likes the church so hopefully there will be a baptism there.

We are also teaching a part family. Stanley is a less active who is 21 and contacted us. He presented us to his live in girlfriend. They are really cool and both came to the activity this week. They also want to get married. The problem is... It that Stanley's girlfriend, Cetia, is 17 years old. She needs permission from one of her parents to get married but they don't want to give it. We still haven't been able to talk with her mom so we can help convince her but we are still hoping we can get them married so Cetia can get baptized.

That is about all that is going on here. The zone is trying to make me trunky. They gave me a countdown calender. 16 DAYS LEFT!!!!!

Love you lots,
Elder Isaacson
