dear fam,
well here goes my list for the week.. im going to do the email in two parts because i have 40 min left so yall can respond fast and ill write back and also because i have a lot of pictures this week to send... alright so the meeting last tues was good.. we talked about a lot of things but my favorite part was a talk an elder gave about working and focusing on the basics.. it was really cool because he talked about how we need to do the small and simple things of misionary work before we branch out to the harder and less important or less used things.. he compared it to basketball and how we need to learn how to play in the paint before we go out and shoot threes.. it was legit.. anyway we got a thanksgiving dinner that was amazing!! turkeky gravey potatoes rolls pineapple.. mmmm it was good and another one of the best meals ive had in guat..we also wrapped presents there and then that night we got back to our house from the cap at 1130 it was a loong day!!! something cool that happened though was after we left a thought came to my mind that i needed to pray and ask God to protect.. then we had a pit stop at a gas station and about 10 min before we passed by a bridge an accident at happened.. i thanked Heavenly Father that night for protecting us.. the power of prayer really is amazing.. and also that same day at like 3 o clock in the morning i woke up with bad acid reflux that i usually dont get.. i was on a top bunk though and didnt want to wake anybody up by moving or going to ask somebody for medicine.. so i said a little prayer and within 15 min it had pretty much gone away and i was able to sleep just fine.. prayer is something so simple but so powerful at the same time.. and if we really need something and want to see Gods hand more in our lives we just need to pray to Him more often and always trust in Him.. we contacted jorge and his fam this week.. they look pretty promising.. they have a lot of questions and they said they want to know the truth.. we left them a book of mormon and if they read it tomorrow we are going to watch a movie with them.. well the testaments.. so that should be really good and the churchs movies are amazing and a very good tool to use with investigators.. anyway so that was exciting and the only thing is that they arent married but i was kind of used to hearing that after being here for 22 months!! alright ill continue on the next email..
alright so the fam villalobos is doing well too.. last night we were in divisions so my comp visited them with a kid.. they had a good lesson though and the mom says she is going to keep going to our church because she likes it and feels the spirit.. the dad and the daughter are still reading a little bit.. and the daughter is considering changing her schedule for next school year.. so keep praying for them... and we are still working really hard with them and we are going to try and put the baptismal date this wek if we can.. so yesterday we didnt have any investigators in church because it was the queztaltenango temple dedication so that was viewed in every chapel in guat.. it was really good though and i definitely felt the spirit with all the talks.. and i really grow to know more and more that the temple is really the house of the Lord and a piece of heaven here on the earth..pres uctdorf dedicated it.. it was really cool and the temple looks beautiful and we got some cool handkerchiefs with the temple embroidered in it as a keepsake..also a prophet or leader said that there will be one more temple here in guat and it will be here in COBAN.. obvioulsy not right now but probably in 20 or 30 years.. but si dios me da la vida or if im a live and can i will come down here for that!! so this week was good.. we just had a lot of appts fall and so it was just an okay week nothing to spectacular.. something funny though was that my comp told me my brain was like an index.. cause i know almost all of the hymns and the pages were they are.. it made me remember how i knew all of jennifers bball teams names and numbers.. i also realized i can put my brain to better use in memorizing things.. anway today was a lot of fun.. we went down about 2 hours to salama and had our christmas conference.. we were with orphanage kids for about 1 hour and a half and that was a lot of fun.. we played with them.. sang christmas songs with them and gave them a bag of goodies as mom would say.. lol but it was really fun to make their day and there are the pics.. then we ate and watched a DISNEY MOVIE!! it was awesome and really a sweet gift.. we saw entangled.. it was really good and a funny movie.. then we had a spiritual part and closed.. then we came back to coban and got here a little after six.. so yeah it was a really fun day but im super tired.. this week will be crazy with district conferences with pres and the aps and then the pastorela (a christmas activity that goes on in coban every year that we will be participating in.. ill write more next week and send pics.. itll be really cool thats on friday and we get to dress up like the people here in the americas when Christ was born..) and yeah thats about it.. i love yall and always keep in mind the real meaning of Christmas and not just His birth but His whole life.. i love yall a ton and take care!! write me next week please.. and mom i want yall to call me at 2 o clock on the twenty fifth.. ill give you the number and code next week.. who all is going to be in the house with yall this year? anyway love yall and let me know whats up..
