2 Corridos Pasados

The past two weeks have been a handful, to say the least. Lots of running around, resolving problems so that the presidentes don't have to. The last two weeks were spent like this: Two weeks prior: - preparación for the new presidente - still finding it hard to help the father of Diana be ok with her desire to join the true church. Darn anti church of christ friends of his. Please pray for him. - finding new friends to help prepare for baptism - one day we decided to focus our finding efforts on searching for partial member families in one part of our area. The fruits of this day are shown below... Last week: (was insane) - Tuesday: the coming of the new presidente - Wednesday: mlc in person (I got to perform a special number, I'll record the song once my voice is better so yall can hear it. No one recorded it) - Thursday: zone conference and interviews - Friday: another zone conference - Taking care of the new presidente and his wife with the adjustment, while taking upon our...

One more week

Image
Buenas tardes!! O días o noches. I hope you all had a great couple of weeks! These last couple weeks have been pretty good here in the office and Concepción. Here's a quick sum up of the last couple weeks: -Yesenia, a little nine year old, came up to us one day I'm church and told us she wanted to be baptized. And she got baptized. Apparently the ward never got to her baptism when she was 8. So we got to help her out with the amazing process - Right now we are working with our new friend Diana. She is amazing and always amazes us with her curious questions. She read the book of Mormon in three days and has a document filled with notes and amazing questions that have us thinking. Right now she has a baptism date for the 29th! She already knows it's all true! - Lately we have been getting ready for our leaders to go home and receive new mission leaders. The McKays are going and the Pincays are coming to Guate! Our new mission leaders are from Ecuador and I'm excited to se...

Una Locura

I'm sorry guys. Lately it has just been crazy with all the zone conferences and everything else on our plates, it has been nuts. I barely have pdays now due to the office work. But I feel bad for not writing an email for three weeks now so here is an update on some things. I don't know if I have mentioned it but I have a new companion. Elder Martínez left to end his mission up in the mounts in chuicabal. And I received Elder Fasabi who is from Perú. I am now the only office Elder who can drive the office car. Hence the added craziness for me because I have to drive the other three to do their errands. Happy Mothers day!! I got to serenade the mothers with my voice and guitar in the Concepción Ward during the Mothers Day Dinner. We are getting ready for an insane transfer coming up that is getting kick started with a General Authority visit two days after transfers. The day after is the mission leadership training in person, then we have 8 zone conferences during the month. 4 t...

Last Two Weeks

Sorry, everyone, for the sparse emails as of lately... the truth is that I was going to write one last week, but then I got my transfer call. And I then did not have any time that day to write anything because we had way too much to do that night. But now everything is tranquilo and I can now write one. So here are a couple things that have happened lately: >I'm pretty sure I may have fractured my pinky toe, but it is all good because it doesn't hurt to walk and there's literally nothing I would be able to do for it anyways >On the last week of transfers we extended two baptismal date to two friends, Lilian and Eugenio, and they BOTH excepted!!! Please pray for them, especially Eugenio, he can use the prayers. The sad thing is that I won't be able to help them on their paths to baptism any further because I got transferred!! I am now working in the offices as the technical secretary and it has been a wild ride with transfers and getting the greenies all settled in...

The Past 3 Weeks ...

Image
  It's hard to believe that 3 weeks have already flown by since the last time I wrote an email! Sorry about that. Time truly does move differently on a mission. These past few weeks have been a whirlwind of experiences. I've definitely had my fair share of highs and lows these three weeks. But here's a quick summary: - the last pday that I wrote an email, I got a fun surprise attack from a massive spider that was hanging out a couple inches from my back. - we gotta celebrate the birthday of la chunquita (Mexican Spanish way of saying "little one") (la chunquita's name is Ánia or Matu) - made my comp puke by fake gagging... - found a little friend hanging out on my pants, which supposedly hurts like a son of a gun when it stings you. Luckily, I wore pants to the service project... - I have gotten to eat a lot of tacos, cause who knew how much Mexicans like tacos  - We gotta celebrate the bday of Flor from Pueblo Nuevo, who I baptized! She finally can get her Gu...

DL-ing is rough but so fun

  Omgosh, these weeks have been rough but soo good. Here's a list of some stuff that happened. - got my new comp Elder Contreras. An ex-Mexican Marine. He is crazy and so fun, and good at connecting and building relationships with everyone. - lead my first district council. Kinda botched it, but that's alright. - had exchanges with Elder Seufale Latu! He is such a dope guy. Just wish I wasn't in the bathroom that day until 3 pm so I could have learned more from him - had exchanges with the ZLs and, omgosh, I learned so much from Elder Teare. He is so direct and honest with the holy message we have to share that the spirit comes so fast and strong. - Having a bit of a struggle with finding people. But the second we prayed, we had a lot more success in finding people who do want to actually listen to us! Miracles!! - Watching the district keep improving has been amazing. Están echando puro fuego! - We, as a mission, have been prepping for a big conference that is coming up th...
