Whoa! Lima, Peru Downtown Missionary Office !




Whoooaa !,

Hey guess what? I got an exchange. Can you believe it? I can't believe it either. I didn't want to leave Pamplona because the people there are amazingly cool. I was sad to leave, but fortunately, this time I got to say goodbye to everyone I wanted. I didn't leave Pisco unstatisfied. Oh, by the way, Tessy got baptized, and was confirmed on Sunday. I am very happy for her, because now when she smiles, it isn't fake like it was the first time we met her. There's true happiness in her eyes now, and it was worth every minute of it. It was sad though to leave her, but no worries, she is in good hands with Elder Hesselgesser, and the rest of barrio Pamplona.

So you might be asking, where in the heck did Elder León get changed to? I got changed to the freakin office. I'm now working as the Secretario de Registros. Basically I'm in charge of Baptism records, Immigration, and Medicine ( the guy you call when you're sick). I'm going to be in here getting super bored, as what I've been told... and not be leaving to go proselyte as much. My companion is Elder Granados, who is the Finance Secretary. It's funny because all I've heard about the office is "Oh no! So boring! Wasting time blah!"

Well, at least we eat super good, super nice rooms, and a super nice rich area, so I won't be going up cerros all day. The mission has flown by so quickly. On New Year's Eve, in barrio Pamplona, la familia Cajahuaman lost their son, George, of 28 years. The parents are old, and their 7 children are all active in the church, but they lost their second son in an accident at work, so all of the New Year's activities were canceled, and the funeral service was held Saturday night, and they buried him on Sunday after church. It was quite sad, and alas, I must be going. Finally got to send you both a message, and I want to tell you both to take care. Love you both and I hope the best for you.Tell everyone I said hi.

Elder Emiliano León
