This week was awesome and super fast! I HAD MY FIRST BAPTISM YESTERDAY!!! His full name is Victor Hugo Garay Sachez and he is from Peru. He is an awesome little guy. I have some pics from my comps camera ill send in a little bit. So since we are opening a new sector we havent had anybody to teach. It has been really hard because we have no plans and we just get rejected by everybody everyday. Saturday I was with elder Diaz for the day and we found an old guy and a family that let us in and wants to get baptized! The family is super cool too they have a Shelley haha and they have a 2 yr old named Amanda. It made me miss Shelley a lot haha. We found another lady yesterday too and we are finally teaching a lot of lessons.
We have been having a lot of fun here. Time is going by way fast already and I hear it only gets faster. The members here are awesome too and they love Elder Kanahele and me. They are always giving us tons of food and drinks. Our lunches are always huge too from the members. We eat a lot everyday but work it all off walking around in the hot sun. The food here is really good too. Its hard not having American candy though and I havent gotten the package yet but mostly likely tomorrow.
I dont really have anything else to say other than we have been blessed a ton already! Im learning a ton and I love Chile! The people here are crazy and I love all of them!
Love Elder Peck

15. How much money do you get a month for food, etc?
we don't get much money but it's enough for food and we all share it usually and we haven't eaten out yet but there is a member and her husband isn't a member but he is a chef here in some really fancy restaurant and he loves us so he is going to make us a meal and stuff soon and we are going to call home from their house for Christmas. I guess how it works is you guys call their house so it doesn't cost anything for them but we still have to plan it all out so i'll let you know.
