Well it's good to hear from you two, as always. I got the package and all of the Spam is gone, and we ate 1 pack of flour tortillas. We still haven't bought any milk to eat cereal, but we can buy some today. Still have beef jerky and the beans, but I don't know how long they'll last.
New Years was pretty cool. Elder Dominguez and I sewed up a life sized doll with clothes. Here in Peru the people make dolls to burn them at midnight, so logically we did the same. I printed a photo of Jaime, our pensionista's husband, and taped it onto the head of the doll. His family got a good laugh watching his twin dummy burn in flames. We also bought fireworks and lit them up at midnight, and everyone else in Pisco did the same, so all you could hear was a barrage of explosions and see smoke rising into the night sky from the burning dummies. I got a small burn on my arm thanks to my companion, but it has healed.
As for the next package, I don't need the Preach My Gospel stickers. I have the book and it alread has space to write notes. The Book of Mormon, D&C, and Pearl of Great Price is good. But do they have the stickers for the Bible? Try to find those, but if you can't, it's fine. Did you happen to get the chicharrones? I don't remember what, but you told me something about them on Christmas.
The Nelsons are moving out of the ward too? Aw man, I'm going to miss his antics. I enjoyed home teaching him. What about Steve Burke? Is he still around? I heard that he was thinking about moving to Irvine because that's where Blizzard is located. That campus is huge, by the way, you should check out their website, last I heard they were gonna do internships and that it would be easier for him to go to work. What about McPhereson? I don't remember how to spell his name, but is he still around working for Sony Computer Entertainment? Well it's good to hear everyone is doing fine in the ward. I'm out of time, so I'll talk to you all next week. Love you all and take care.
