We were sore afraid!

We spent Christmas with our Bishop and his family. We made Hawaiian pizza together, which was super fun, and then ate it! Then we went to bed and slept until midnight, when suddenly all of Huancayo lit up with fireworks. We were sore afraid! The first thought that crossed my mind was that there must be war! And EVERYONE we know called us for the rest of the night. Apparently that´s how they celebrate Christmas here. Everyone gets one single present and they open it at midnight, before they go to bed. A little different. But I tell you. I have never seen so many fireworks in my life. To a Peruvian, the fireworks are basically the most important part of Christmas. They love their fireworks. They say new-years is even better, so that should be fun to see if we can sleep at all. After that, we were only able to teach for a couple days and not many people were at home. We brought 10 investigators to church, though. Mostly one family, the which will be very hard to leave this Tuesday (assuming I have transfers). This  family are about 27 people who live on this big patch of land with their cows and all. They´re super great and are progressing smoothly. I´ve come to love them very much. I don´t figure I´ll ever forget them, or the simply inspired way we came to find them and teach them. Wish me someplace warm for these transfers! Love you tons, and I hope you have a great holiday season!
Much love,
Elder Alexander
