La última

Well gang. All good things come to an end. Today is my last day in serving as a missionary in the Retalhuleu Guatemala mission. Well in an area that is. Tomorrow I ship out to Reu and then to Xela, and then Wednesday from Xela to Guatemala City, then Thursday I'll be flying out. So I'll still be a missionary trying to share the gospel with those who cross my path but definitely won't be the same.

Pink or Blue?

It's blue!!! Imma have a son!!! That's right, I'm going to be training and I'm so stinkin excited!! A little nervous but nonetheless, excited!!! I don't know who he is yet, whether he's a gringo or latino. But I will find that out Thursday. Tomorrow, Elder Gonzalez gets to say bye to everyone we are teaching and some of the members. And Wednesday he heads out to San Rafael in the mountains. Don't know where I'll go for the day but I'll figure it out. This week I don't have much time to write but here's something that has been on my mind lately. 1 Nefi 3:7 7 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said unto my father: I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them. The truth is that God has given us a lot of commandments. Right now a big one that I am focused on is ser...

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...

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 ...
