So we have a small town were we work. But everything else here is soooo far away.

So we have been teaching this brother and sister that are really interested in the church. We were only able to talk to the brother the other day and not the sister. But after searching we finally got to teach her. When we asked if she wanted to get baptized she said yes without any questions asked. This should be kind of easy with these two because they went to church for 2 months before we talked to them. Yeah this area has its days where it’s up and days when it’s down but we just need to keep looking.

So like I said our area is small but really spaced out. The other day we seen this one area on the map that we have for Pueblo. So we went out for a walk to see what we could find. As we were walking on the path that never seemed to end. A man came up to us and said that he wanted us to come visit him and his family. He told us that his uncle is a member and all that. So we were like why not. So we started walking and talking. But the walk started to get longer and longer. When we finally got to his house it was the last one on the path. How long did it take us you ask….Well we were walking for 30 mins beforehand and then we walked for an hour to find this guy’s house.  But we used that hour very well. We taught all of lesson one with the guy. So when we got to the house we just gave a quick lesson to his wife and left. But this area was really scary after 5. We left at 5:30 and we got back to Pueblo at 5:55. We ran pretty much the whole way hahah the good thing is that it wasn´t raining. 

So the other day I got my package as well! And I would like to thank the Salmons because they sent Reese pieces for me. I think that they have great hearing or something because I said to my comp the other day that I could really go for some Reese pieces. And I got some haha as well I would like to thank everyone for all the letters I got as well. From the young mens group and a bunch of my friends. When I got the hockey cards in my package, my comp had all kinds of questions for me. He told me after I think I’m going to start watching hockey when I get back. But yes all in all thanks to all who put things in my package. 

Now this is going to be a bad part to read if you have a weak stomach. So if you do please stop reading now. 

So here in Guatemala almost every month they have a special thing to eat during the month. And this month is crazy... The thing they eat is like this big ant. That’s right an ant!! So I got the chance to try one of these ants on Sunday. That’s right I ate a bug on the mission. And to be honest it wasn´t that bad. You just need to cook it up and put some lime on it and your set. When the member was making it for us I could only think of the old TV show fear factor. And how they had to eat all the crazy things on that show.

So that was my crazy week here in the mission. Once again thanks for the package and thank you all who sent something! We will talk to you all next week! Love you all
