Week #64 ......Be Hopeful, Be Cheerful, Be Loving

Hey!!!

This week was good. We did the same missionary stuff like we always do. We hope to have 2 baptisms this Sunday!!!! It’s the family that got married. For p-day we were going to go to Panajachel with all of the mountains but the bus broke down on Sunday. So the dude who was going to take us told us that he couldn’t, but oh well good thing we live in Antigua. My companion is doing all right. Its not that we don’t get along because we do. We are just so different it’s hard to strike up a conversation. I do a lot of solitary thinking this week hahaha. Everybody thought the rainy season was over. False alarm people….. the rainy season is defiantly not over. We got soaked yesterday. My zone is good and going to get bigger next change. They are going to open up an area called San Pedro las huertas. It has not had missionaries for like a year. So we get to find a house where the new missionaries can stay. Its kind of tricky because there are such limited houses and so many rules the mission has for the houses. Oh and they only give us 1200 quetzals to pay per house per month. So its been tricky.... other than that all is good here in Guatemala.

I have been thinking a lot about hope lately. The gospel brings a perfect brightness of hope. The gospel sheds light in the darkest of places and gives us hope a better world like the book of Mormon teaches us. I know that hope is easier said than done. It’s hard to hope, because hoping is having faith with no evidence that something will happen. Just putting 100 percent confidence in the Lord is a hard thing, but if we can do it. Your life improves. Hope gives us understanding of our purpose. We need to hope for things, which are not seen but true. The Gospel is not a physical thing that you can see, but we can see the blessings that come from it. For that reason we need to HOPE!!!!! Be Hopeful. Be Cheerful, Be Loving.
