It has been a great run but now Elder Fenn is needed in the Big City of Lima.

Hi Friends and Family,

Masen has finally been transferred after 7 months in Nueva Cajamarca.   He has asked to stay in this area because he continually felt that he had a work to accomplish and had not done so yet.  As he puts it-- the good thing is he will get our Christmas package.  Our Stake President told us that the prayers of missionaries are powerful and if we have a special need we should have Masen add it in his prayers, so we have asked him to pray for Bryn to get a better ACT score.  If she raises it just one point, it qualifies her for a much larger scholarship than she is already getting.  She is going to attend Snow College next fall.

I am not sure what the reference to the steps means, but I do know that the poor people of Lima live on the hillside, so there must be a place where they have to climb massive amounts of stairs.   Ronald and Liz are the ward members he was the closest to in Nueva Cajamarca—the ones he ate grub worms with.

well the big news. im going back to lima, so i should be able to get all my packages when they get there. ya ill be sad to leave this area, but there is always another exciting adventure on the other side. dont worry about my comp from humble backgrounds becuase we all live the same here.

brynlie can get 1 point better, but its in her head. if she thinks she can she can. she is smart. getting a's and b's in calc. she just gets scared in the tests and say that she cant do better than me, but she can. easily! but i will definantly pray for her. i will be praying that she gets a 27! not joking. i know she can do it.

i didnt tell ej happy birthday last week because we went to an area way far away and everybody new how to get there and how much time it took except for my district. we got there like 45 min late, and the zone leaders didnt let us have more time.

as for me. im headed to lima. im kinda excited because i get to have christmas in lima, and new year which is super super super cool, but its ugly. im actuly way excited because i will be able to see ronald and liz get sealed in the temple. so im actually way happy to go. but nevous to see where i go. i might have to wake up everyday and go do the stair stepper 3000 every mornig hiking the mountains to find my investigators, but at least ill get in shape. ha ha.

as for andy. he is a punk in the end he started to drink again. his wife felt betrayed and they dont want to get married. she still wants to get baptised, but cant because they wont get married. the kicker. . . .  they still are going to live together. andy knows he is into some bad stuff, but just doesnt want to change. i want to smack some sense into him. well i have with the bible, but i think he needs a physical beating. ah man i feel so sad for this family, im angry with them because they dont change, and im angry with myself because i cant help them any more. ive ran out of ideas to help them, and time cause im going to lima, but oh well. live and learn. ive learned alot from them.

one cool thing that happend this week is we are visiting another family in kinda the same situation. the dads a drunk. the mom wants to get baptised and married and knows the church is true and everything, but all their kids are member. 1 has his papers in for the mission, another one is preparing and he is like 16 the rest are small. but the dad didnt want anything to do with the church except listen to the word of god in his house. he thought that was enough to bring peace to his home. about a week ago he was driving in his motocar( the motercycle with 3 wheels and a bench over the two wheels in the back. ) (Crazy) but he was durnk driving in that and roled it. the next morning his 6 year old kid woke him up in the middle of the road. i think thats what changed his mind on the marriage thing. we went to visit them this week and he wasn’t there, but the wife said that she was looking for her paper to get married this 15 of december. ah cool. this family has change alot, and i think it was more of the example of the oldest son that is going on a mission. i wont see any more baptisms here, but amaya should have 2 real fast.

just ran out of time.

love you all
