Dear Family,

It was so wonderful to hear you all last night.  My companions told me I must have broken a phone record (three hours) but at least I got in all of my ñañas.

Well, I guess you know most of what’s going on.  I forgot to tell you about our Ward Christmas party.  It was pretty wild.  Las Américas had the best performance.  They did a choir and sang some songs in Quechua as they did a choreographed Nativity scene with angel, shepherds, and a few cholas cuencanas.  I thought things were getting a little out of control when Monay did a Mannheim Steamroller’s Joy to the World number until another ward did a dance number to the Black Eyed Peas' Lets Get it Started.  I am not sure how it tied in with Christmas, but… oh well.  They only thing they didn’t realize is that they were not dancing to the original song but rather a parody, Lets Get Retarded in Here.  They thought they were so cool.  A little lesson in one of the many reasons pirated music is a bad idea.  It gave the gringos present a good laugh, though.

Elder Marquez likes Barcelona, too

Thanks again for the call.  Transfers will be coming up soon.  I don’t know if they will do them this week or after New Years.  I feel better and more excited now that we had our little chat. 

Elder Marquez is getting a kick out of what I am writing.

Well, I’ll send you some pictures and hopefully some videos.  Thanks for the Christmas Pictures.

Elder Ludlam
