So we had changes in the zone! And I will tell you what i told my day last Monday. God hears and answers prayer! Meaning was very happy with this change hahah but here’s the crazy part. My new comp is from my first zone when I started my mission. Elder Market. I know what you are all thinking, Elder Market…. but that is what his names is in English. Crazy right?   But when we got everyone for this zone everyone was here and set to go. I was helping people with their bags and all that. But my comp was nowhere in sit. So I walked over and asked the zone leaders where he was and they said that he was on his way he just had to go to immigration with his other comp. But this was at 11:30 am. I received him at 5:00pm, It was another pday for me haha

 

So we had a slow day on Wednesday. We didn’t have one lesson... But we are just getting used to working with the new comp. But we had plans to visit the ward mission leader. We have be voluntold to sing on Sunday in front of the whole ward. When we got to his house I told him, you know I don’t sing in English, let alone Spanish hahah. But he’s making us do it anyways haha. So we went to visit one family that always gives us food. But they said that they were talking with my mom on Facebook and they got everything that i love to eat. So we had tacos! The mom said we have a son in the mission right now and we know how your family feels so we want to help the missionaries anyway we can. It’s kind of cool that they can talk to my mom and dad all the way here in Guatemala haha 

So i love it when people lie to us at the doors. When i seen the person in the house and then they say that they aren’t home. Really gets to me. But we just need to keep looking for people who are ready. So we found we received this one reference from a member the other day. She has a daughter who is less active and the son in law is not a member and the mom wants us to teach him and baptize him. It’s interesting because the missionaries taught him before and he said that he felt really good when they talked. As well he said that his life had a changes when the missionaries were visiting him. A change for the better. So little by little we will try and help him come into the church. 

 

So we had inspections here the other day. Don’t worry we passed with flying colors! But the Sr. missionaries are really awesome. Their name is the Oylers. They are from Utah and they are really good with all of us. They are pretty much our grandparents in the mission. It’s awesome after we have an inspection because they always have jolly ranchers for us. Some days I’ve been really craving jolly ranchers so it awesome to get some from the haha 

 

So we found some one that looks really good for the church. His name is Francisco. He is living with a less active family and he wants to know what the correct church is. So we have invited him to come to church and all that just need to see if he will come or not haha. We had a fire side at the church this week. It was for a returned sister missionary. We didn’t stay to long because we felt like we needed to be working. So we stayed for a couple of mins then took off. So a little bit about my Spanish. One person asked me the other day, elder how much time you have in the mission.   I responded and asked how long do you think I have they then told me just over a year. Well when I told them that I had 5 months they couldn’t believe it because my Spanish was so good. I was very surprised to hear someone say that about my Spanish aha 

 

So we Funny story about Sunday. We had to plan for a lesson to the whole ward. The thing was we had two weeks to work on this but we had been planning for our investigators and other things for the weeks. So let’s just say we had nothing for this on Sunday haha. I asked my comp in sacrament, hey what we are going to teach. He said I don’t we will think of something. So we planned on the fly and it wasn’t too bad. But the other was we had to sing in front of them as well before we taught. I told the ward mission leader. Hey you know I don’t sing in English, what do you think I can sing in a language that I don’t know haha. So it was a very interesting Sunday. 

 

So this week has been really crazy. Got a new comp and we are working a lot more with the members. Thanks for everything that you all do for me. Thank you for your love and support!
