Puro Chapin Roller-coaster Ride

 Omgosh this week was all over the place. Let's get into it!!

 And I'm going to try to keep this shorter

To get things started, an Hermana that we met last week, we finally made it to her house and family to meet and teach them. We have visited them twice now and they are bien pilas!!!(AMAZING) The second time we met with them they expressed a desire to be baptised in the true church of God!! HOW AMAZING IS THAT!!! The love they have for God and Jesus already is amazing!

This week I also got super sick. I must have eaten something bad the night before cause I was in the bathroom for 3 hours puking. So fun! Don't think I have ever felt or looked as dead as I did. Pero ni modo. When I woke up in the morning I was fine and had no more symptoms or pain.

This week it has also started to rain. And when I mean rain I mean RAIN. It rains absolute cats and dogs here and we have found ourselves, many times, just standing in the rain in our many travels from area to area. So let's just say we have been soaked quite well. It's been AWESOME. I just love the rain!!

Something I learned this week was the power of prayer. In our travels this week there was one time when we began our travels too late and got stuck in San Miguel in the rain. And there were no members who could give us a jalon (ride). So we said a prayer. And no joke within five minutes a pick up truck pulled up and offered us a ride to the gas station. And then after, to where we needed to go. God hears and answers prayers!

Well, this week had its ups and downs for sure. But I still loved every day of it, and boy did it go fast.

Thanks for everything!

But for now this is it

Don't have a good week,

Have a GREAT week! Love ya and bug ya later!

¡A LA GRAN!

Wow, is a mission hard, in a good way. To start off ... I have a companion that doesn't speak a lick of English. So there's that. I mean I'll learn Spanish much faster this way. But it definitely comes with its challenges when you struggle to understand what people are saying in lessons. So basically I just sit there until he asks me a simple question, asks me to read something, or gives me that look that it's time for me to bear my testimony. But other than that I consider myself pretty lucky. I'm in the awesome little town called Genova in the zone of Coatepeque. And basically all we do is walk up and down this little main brick road, occasionally taking a tuk-tuk to a different neighboring little town, sharing messages and working with three people on their journey to baptism for this coming week. We have a baptism this Wednesday and Thursday and possibly another this Thursday. We are praying for the third to happen.🤞🏼 Another thing that's pretty fun is bei...

Conferencia General

Ok, so a lot but not a lot happened this week. So I think it's going to be a short one this week... we'll see. So, to start things off I have a new companion, our area doubled in size and we now have two houses. Insane... You'd think two houses would be nice, but boy does it complicate things. Now there's a lot more planning to be done every week. I am now half way through training and have a new comp! Élder Canal is lit! He's from Peru, speaks un poquito🤏 English, and is bien pilas!! (awesome) This week there's been a lot of sick people with different illnesses from a fever to kidney stones😬. So there have been many opportunities to use our priesthood authority to give priesthood blessings. It rained!! Oh how I have missed the rain!!!! It began to rain Saturday for a couple hours and then stopped. And then today it absolutely dumped for about an hour. Sadly it hasn't lasted too long but I'll just say when it rains in Guatemala it RAINS! Now for the mo...

El Dia de Preparación Final en la CCM

Oh what a P Day it has been. But before I get to what happened today, on Friday, I'll talk un poco 'bout my week. So to start this week off we got to listen to a broadcasted Devotional from Provo that D. Todd Christofferson spoke at and boy, was that a good talk. He spoke about the Atonement of Jesus and how important it is to repent. He gave us the gift of repentance and we must use it. He can't save us if we don't choose to receive this amazing gift. What's the point of Him giving us agency if we abuse it and expect him to save us without us doing any work? My house (Casa 50, which consists of 15 Élderes) tried out for a musical number for our final devotional here in la CCM. On Thursday we tried out with el himno Loor al Profeta (Praise to the Man) acapella. We felt good about it until the next audition showed up, which was basically a choir of about three districts whose devotional would also be their last. We thought we had no chance. But today we received ...
