Serving the People of Gautemala

Hola! haha i am finally in the field and ive already been here for a week pretty much! the time goes by pretty fast out here except it was kind of going slow for a bit cause i was missing yall a lot since i hadnt heard from yall since the 7th of april. I have a bunch of cool pics to email home but i forgot my card this week but next week i will definitely send home some. I am in the capital still in zona 18. I am in the colombia ward and there are about 60 or 70 people that attend but theres a lot of inactives.. I think thats one of the big problems here. Any I have a lot to say but mom and dad thanks for your emails and send me some pics of yall in the flowers or something please! and could yall send me the last pic of all of our family at sean kellyes wedding because people always want to see my family but i only have individual parts.. or atleast one of all of the siblings! gracias.. anyway mom and dad president uctdorfs talk the other day in conference made me happy cause it was like hearing the words straight out of yalls mouth.. it was about patience and he pretty much said no instant gratification and the world doesnt revolve around you.. i thought to myself those words sound pretty familiar to me.. haha i realized the world doesnt revolve around me now more then ever and i am developing patience.. yall would be proud.. haha yeah could yall send me like40 more bucks just for some rain boots.. it rains a lot now since its the raining season but i need them more for if i got sent up north to the jungle later in my mission.. unfortunately i think ill be here in the cap for a while and eventually go up north for a part of my mission.. anyway shayne since you know spanish or mom could you make me some little papers and laminate them of the plan of salvation or the different parts in spanish.. that be cool.. anyway please send email things through dear elder and just put guatemala north in the thing because they get to me.. i got one from cody on thurs and it makes me happy to get them just like emails... i have pday every monday and wil get letters and pack on weds. the last week in the ccm i did the sacrament prayer in spanish.. it was cool..we have two baptisms on friday but i only have taught the husband of the couple a little bit and he is cool.. i dont see any other promising investigators as of yet but i am working hard so hopefully well come across some more.. Another reason i know God is real is that i ate 4 pieces of pizza at some members house the other night with a ton of onions and peppers on it and i almost gagged but i didnt and they were crunchy too! and last night we ate with members too.. the food here isnt too bad... our apartment is pretty nasty though.. theres six of us and all the things are sick in it... but hopefully i wont have to live in it too long.. i havent gotten arrigamortis yet the whole time ive been in the field which a pretty big accomplishment. we have to cook for ourselves and we have a lady that does our laundry for us 4 times a month for only about 11 bucks..yall need to buy a calling card for mothers day so i can call you and you can call me back! that is in less then two weeks!!! anyway if yall want to send me another package sometime please put the 4 juggling balls in it so i can practice cause i have free time at night.. next time i will tell yall more about my schedule.. i cant wait to hear from yall again next week.. Anyway sean and shayne please give me advice on things about missionaries and comps cause i hate it when people arent exactly obedient.. its not that hard and just other things on how to get through the tough parts of the mission! id appreciate it alot.. oh yeah my comps an latino from managua nicaragua and hes cool and good and doesnt speak much english but hes pretty obedient.. i just need advice for putting with it or whatever other advice yall have.. everything from now on is sent to .. Mision Guatemala Ciudad Norte, Apartado # 951-A, Guatemala, Guatemala C.A. for the rest of my mission.. anyway i love yall a lot and i know this church is true and obedience is very important and you recieve blessings from being obedient... i love yall alot and keep praying for me cause i am for yall too.. please send me emails and letter or dear elders! ttyl love yall!!!!
