We had our Christmas call with Elder Ridge. It was so good to hear his voice, although we have had more opportunities than most missionary parents. Since Elder Ridge traveled to Arizona for a month and then to Peru, we have had a couple extra time to speak with him.
He is loving it in Peru!! He has not been without his challenges, most of which are in this blog. He is really doing well with his Spanish and sounds great. He bore his testimony in Spanish to the whole family on speakerphone. Although we could not understand it word for word, we could get the just of what he was saying and we could feel the power and spirit of his testimony. We realized how much he has grown.
He says he is not home sick at all, although he misses a few of the comforts of home. (Carpet, taller shower heads that don’t shock you, fresh water)
We got to hear stories of conversion and cultural differences. All in all it was a great call and we look forward to his emails every week and we are counting the days until Mothers day when we will talk again.
