Isaac walking the muddy streets of Peru

It was sooo fun to talk to my brother on Christmas day over the phone. It is amazing that my family could speak to him via satellite. Feliz Navidad music was blasting in the streets by his apartment! Next Christmas I am fixing to go pick him up with my brother Luke. There is a Marriot Hotel in Lima, Peru...imagine that! My brother, Elder Ralphs has turned into an awesome missionary, full of excitement for missionary work and the gospel of Jesus Christ. I have missed having him home with the parents to hang out with and go out to eat with! He is really missing American food about now, he said he eats rice and beans every meal. And after a really hot day when he is sweating everywhere all he has to drink is a hot drink. I could not survive with out ice cold refreshing water!
