Opposition in all things...

Wellllllllllll,
So like last week was an amazing week but like the scripture says we need opposition in all things sooo basically we lost three fechas... and the three we have we have been working and talking them through a lot of Satan influence hardship and so my comp and i are doing all we can to help them to get baptized... we had to move our golden investigators date to next week because she wasn´t able to go to church this Sunday because she has family against the church.. ya long story and unfortunately i have like one minute... my computer has been doing weird stuff.. but i'm fine and everything is going well! I'm working hard and spreading the word. Ill write more next week about what all happened this week!
Dand C 84 88 and Moroni 8 3

 She has lost a little bit of weight!!!!

Finally received her package... Took a month to get there!

Good things come to those who wait..!!!!!

So this week is cambios and i'm officially out of training!!! My comp trainer... and I are staying in our area we dont´have changes.. but our Disctrict leader and two other elders in my District has them... which is sad because there basically my family and I hope that our next District leader will be as awesome as Eld. Dimaren.. But anyway.

This week has been CRAZY Busy and my comp like my title of my email says good things come to those who wait!! We´ve been working really hard for the last couple of months! and were seeing it all pay off. As it stands now we have six baptisms for Agosto and were going to put three more fechas hoy I am excited to teh fact that this is 9 souls we are going to be able to help and I am really grateful for the opportunity I have to be able to teach them and help then change there lives for the better using the gospel of Jesu Cristo.

I also got to experience a really awesome spiritual experience with Xiomara the Fecha I told you about in my other letter... So her background a little bit is she recently got into a motor bike accident and so shes on a lot of medication for pain and she has to get surgery the week after shes baptized.. and on church on Sunday she told us that we didn´t need to pick her up because she said she was going to ride her motor bike to church so we said okay... and waited for her.. but she showed up really late around half way during sacrament and after we found out that she had another crash with her motto and she was in alot of pain and she was really shaking so we had Elder. Dimaren give her a blessing and the blessing calmed her, the spirit was sooo strong and part of the blessing was her testimony would be strong to nations and my comp and I got goosebumps with this... and after Xiomara told us that she felt calm and at peace.. The spirit is amazing thing and so is the priesthood I have seen so many times how the preistood and spirit along with the gospel of Jesus Christ blesses people and I am really grateful to be part of this work and apart of this true church... through Xiomara I've really been able to see how the gospel changes people she wants to be baptized so badly.. She could have easily told us that she had a crash with her motto so she wasn´t going to be able to come but she came despite this... It was a really neat experience.

We also had seven investigators come to church which was great!

I also realized something... my Spanish has improved allot but i realized that during lessons I always found myself constantly trying to think of something I can say if my comp turns to me and having things run around in my head.. it wasn´t until the beginning of this week that I realized that I wasn´t letting the spirit help me and that I wasn´t showing faith in H.F and the spirit to help me know what to say and so this week I've been trying my best to have the faith to lean on the spirit more I have in the past but I feel like my thoughts sometimes block out the spirit and so I decided that im going to try and lean on the spirit more to help me with my Spanish, by keeping myself more relaxed in the lessons and keeping my mind more open and blank. Ive found this week as ive done this that my Spanish comes out more confident and that I have been able to ask more inspired questions. Ive really learned what it means to trust in the spirit and lead on his still small voice.. But my Spanish has improved allot im doing my best and im at the point where my comp go back and forth without a problem and I can put my proper share into our lessons... And I think this is why were starting to make more progress with our investigators H.F is starting to trust us more with more of his children. And I am greatful for this and hope that I will be able to help and serve allot of H.Fs children Throughout my mission!

But hope your all doing well! Love ya all MUCHO!!!

this is for all of you! Moroni 8:3 (I think this is the right scripture)

Good week!

This week we had divisions my comp and I both stayed in our area... so we had the three of us walking around.. It was really funa nd I learned alot!! It was a great expereince for me! We also got to meet our new Presidente of Mission Presidentete Crapo and his Wife.. they are both really nice and I look forward to working with them..!!! Hna. Crapo kept telling my comp and I that we are twins.. hahaha and that we just need to tell everyone that.. because we both had the same hairstyle and were wearing matching shoes... but anyway... Our fecha with Ceasar fell it was really hard because he totally decided he didn't want to quit smoking or stop the other things he was doing to get baptized and that he didn't want to get baptized anymore... it was really hard to go through but I felt like I grew as a missionary through it as well. And I know that this is not his time.. but someday he will accept it.. Im almost out of training.. and my comp haha shes liek I feel like my kids going off to college.. they grow up so fast! Hahaah but we hope that we don´t get changes. because we have a new FECHA con Xeomara and she is my first golden investigator! Shes been reading and everything and she said she wasn't sure if she was going to be baptized for sure but she said that she thinks that her answer is going to be yes but she wasn't sure.. but on Sunday after going to church with us she told us that she for sure wanted to be baptized.. and it made me SOOOO HAPPY!! I'm so excited for her she is a great person and she is super sweet and I know that the gospel will help her change her life for the better! But yep!! My comp and I also had an opportunity to serve this week. There's a woman that makes candy and we got to help her wrap and pack her lollipops and it was allot of fun and I got to Play I mean work with fire!! it was fun there were tons of bees though because she used honey to make the lollipops and so the bees were attracted to it.. so there were bees all over her house.. but it was fun! But yep this was pretty m uch my week! Things are going well and were finding alot mroe investigators! Well love ya all thanks for your love and support! Hope ur all doing well!

Happy Fourth of July!!!!

Pues this week has probably been one of the hardest weeks well Saturday mainly the rest of the week was fine.. but this past Saturday was probably one of the hardest days in all of my mission.. but i'm not going to focus on what happened.. rather stay positive and focus on what I learned from it.. I'm extremely grateful to live in a church that is so caring for others that supports people and helps people. and has Leaders like our Zone leaders and District leaders that have really helped me and my companion out this week with our problem. I am extremely grateful for the leaders and all there hard work and all that they do for us in our Zones and our Districts. I´ve grown alot as a missionary this week and as a person to. And I can promise that when everything seems to be going bad that we can rely on the Savior and our Heavenly Father to help us through anything.. I know for a fact that if you ever feel alone that Heavenly father is Always there for you.. and through prayer you can communicate all your feelings to our father in Heaven and He will be there to listen.. Now im not telling you this to worry you i'm fine.. and the problem is resolved.. the important part is what I learned and how much I grew... I cant begin to describe how better of a missionary I have become in this experience and how much my faith and trust in our H.F has grown. I love the people here in Guatemala and never have I been so sure about the good that i'm doing helps people.. Not that I had any doubts but This really was a great experience to help me grow in multiple ways.
Anyway moving on to a different subject... Corina and her six kids decided to leave the house and they left.. a member paid for them to stay in a Hotel and I carried there bags.. and when we got into the hotel.. The little kids in this small small room with two beds, a shower and a small television.. Ive never seen kids so excited and so happy over something so small. I've really been humbled and extremely grateful for all that i have in the states not that I wasn´t before but seeing these small children so happy to have a shower and soap.. really softened my heart alot and made me majorly humbled. I have had a great great oportunity to serve this family that I love so much.. We didn´t get to say good bye and we don´t know where they are now.. but I will never forget Corina looking at my comp and I and the member and in tears telling us thank you and that she was sorry that she didn´t have anyone like family to help her... so almost in tears I gave her a hug and told her that she was fine and that we are her family... this experience really opened my eyes at the good that our work can bring others.. and m ore importantly the good the gospel of Christ can bring others.. where ever Corina is going she says that she has a church really close by and has the liberty to get baptized with her kids in the church there.. I really am going to miss them but I know that there safe and more importantly they are able to get baptized together as a family and be happier where they are now.I am sooo grateful for this church and the members and this great work that I get to be a part of.. Words can´t describe how happy and motivated I am to work...

But After all my goal is to already be the best missionary in history.. but.. haha jk that's a little prideful but ANYWAY now to get on to the others stuff.... on Friday as promised I think in my other letter I woke up and made brownie pancakes and then I drew American Flags with frosting on it... they are really good that after noon after we got back from weakly planning we ordered Pizza hut pizza and I made orchatta to go with it which is really yummy! but it was a great day to celebrate the B-Day of America and all the Nortes were going crazy with red white and blue.. it was alot of fun and hopefully I have time to send pics. but anyway our Fecha Ceasar that we have been working with dragged himself to church after a little argument with us he has lots of doubts but my comp and I arn´t giving up on him so he came to church and we could tell he was a little annoyed but after church he received a blessing from the Elders and he left looking happier than I have ever seen him! And I can tell he was glad that we had him come.. So that was really exciting for us.. We also got a new FECHA! shes really pelus!! it was funny because we walk in and sit down and the first question she asks is how she can be a member.. shes like do you guys get baptized to be a member.. and so we explained to her and she flat out told us that she was going to do what we asked and read.. shes going to church this Sunday with us.. and shes going to pray and she told us that if God want´s her to be a Mormon then she will be a Mormon.. So my comp and I are like well where have you been hiding all this time.. hahahah but no were really excited to be able to teach her she seems pretty cool! Oh and before I forget on Saturday the Elders had a baptize for this sweet old lady that they had been teaching and she ended up baring this really spiritual testimony on Sunday but anyway on Saturday at her baptism Elder Cubbilos and I sang Soy un Hijo de dios.. I am a child of god..I have it recorded Not sure if I can send it it might be to long.. but ill try and it went really well. after the bishops wife told me she wanted lessons.. haha I htnk I sing better in Spanish than I do in English which is weird.. but anyway... today for Pday I played baseball using a stick for a bat and ended up breaking it so it didn´t last long.. but after the whole zone had a dodge ball fight using socks that had flour in them and it was soooooo funn i have pictures of me covered in flour that hopefully I have time to send.. but anyway yep it was a good weak. I look foward to this week! Love you all thanks for your emails and support! Hope ur all doing well!

love ur fave. mis in Guate!
