11 September 2017



So as we all know I did have changes here in the area. I have received my second comp from Idaho. He is a pretty good guy we get along really good. He is pretty funny as well. Something about him is he is very gullible. So he will believe anything. But as well he listens really well hahaha. But he is a good guy.

So this week we had goal with as a zone. We had to win the day everyday. And it’s not to bad for a goal to be honest. We won it a lot as well haha we worked really hard here in Santa Marta. Our last week wasn’t very good to be honest but it has gotten way better. We have been getting a lot more help from members as well. We got some new people to teach as well. We were able to get some new people who we could really help and we could get a lot of baptisms this coming change. We found this one mom and her son who could be really good. We talked about the best things that her and her kids need. We Told her that the church could help her and her kids receive blessings. Hopefully we can help them become happier then they already are.

So we have another new missionary here in our district. He is from Utah and is super new. I remember when I started and I knew nothing that was going on. And to be honest I can see this a lot with this kid haha So I’m going to take him in divisions here and see if I can help him grow and understand a little more here in the mission. This is the thing about being a leader here in the mission. People always think that they are going to get mad, or get upset, or something like that. But really a leader doesn’t have to get mad at all. You don’t need to get mad. You need to always help them. No matter what.   All the things that I have done here in the mission will help me teach others. That’s something I love about the being a leader. I’m able to help not only my investigators but I can help other elders and there investigators as well!

So as you all know yes there was an earthquake here last week but don’t worry all it good. It’s kind of funny because we were sitting at our desks when it started and I was thinking like it will pass no biggie. But then it kept going and kept going. So I was like oh boy this might not end. So it lasted for about 5 minutes. It was pretty crazy because the earthquake was in Mexico. And we felt it here in Guatemala. But don’t worry life is all good.

So we had stake conference here this weekend and we had a member from the 70 speak to us. As well his wife. And I really liked the talk his wife gave. She said remember who you are no matter were you are. No matter what happens. And always remember who you are because everyone is always watching. They are always watching to see what the Mormons are doing. And this was kind of good for me because as a missionary you need to remember who you are. Because you need to always remember who you really are. You cant be someone else out here. You are who you are supposed to be and who god wants you to be. So if we know what he wants us be and who he wants us to be we will be able to do what ever he needs us to do.

So that was pretty much the highlight of the week here for us! Life is really good here in the mission but always crazy as a DL haha but I don’t think that will ever change. Ahah but hope you all have a good week and that everything goes well for you all!

Love ya,
