Santa's workshop

 
Little did Great Grandmother Thurston know her tradition of grab bag gifts on Christmas Eve would make it's way to the south of Peru.  We've also been busy with candy and cookie bags for our member and nonmember friends here, another tradition from back home!

Papa Noel is assisting at a chocolatada.  Store owners, neighbors, all of Peru, I think, drink hot chocolate and eat panetone for Christmas.  Elder Jones was Papa Noel for a branch activity and one of the merchants ask him to come visit the children at the chocolatada he was hosting for some of the less fortunate.

Porque Dios nos ama y quiere que nosotros seamos felices, El nos ha dado el evangelio y las familias, por las cuales estamos eternalmente agradecidos.  We are also grateful to be able to serve in the land of the Book of Mormon and teach the descendants of the people of the Book of Mormon. We wish everyone a Merry Christmas (Feliz Navidad).

Glad to see Santa makes it to Nazca. I was afraid it was too warm for him!
