Family and friends,
Missionary
life gets better and better haha. Every day is super busy teaching a ton of
lessons so I’m getting pretty good at that. This week was really good. We were
able to baptize another new member into the church, which was cool. Another cool story,
yesterday was P-day and we played basketball and soccer and then at 5 we need
to continue missionary stuff. My companion asks me where I think we should go
and I pointed left. So that is where we
went. We come into contact with a little boy crying hysterically and his grandma
was crying as well. SO…. we asked if we could help in anyway and we found out
that this little boys sister had passed away 8 days earlier and this morning
that little boys dad was in a car accident and passed away. We then proceeded
to teach the plan of salvation. I shared my story of dad and they were really
appreciated the message and it was way spiritual. (Mom it was cool because
remember when dad passed away those missionaries that visited us. I felt like
that and it was awesome) Anyway 5 minutes after the lesson I knocked on a
random door and this girl answers looks at me and starts balling. (I know I’m
ugly but come on) She later tells us, she is a less active and prayed last
night for the first time in forever. And she asked God for an answer and that
night we showed up at her door. Anyway pretty cool day huh.
Okay time
for some funny stuff. People love giving us food. It usually gross, like I would
rather starve than eat the items presented or way delicious, with no in between.
Anyway after a lesson, a member family come out with a drink (all drinks in Guatemala
are hot, sooooo weird.) Anyway I looked at it and I was like oh hot chocolate I
can deal with that. I was kind of right. Hot chocolate but with RICE.....
RICE... who in their right mind puts rice in hot chocolate. It’s called arroz
con leche and its soooo nasty. …But you have to eat the stuff they give you or
they won’t feed you again so I pounded this textures slimy hot chocolate in 4
seconds and I wanted to die. hahahahah so funny. Well I’m not sure what else to
write about but I’m doing great and loving the mission
Dios le
bendiga (God Bless you!)
