hey family..
happy fourth of july.. anyway here goes my list and letter.. so my first pic is with miguel and his dad.. they are from senahu or where there are a lot of mtns and no electricity.. they dont have money or work there so they came to carcha to work and get money to give to there family.. they were sleeping underneath a govt building outside but then after coming to church a few times the members started helping them out and giving them a place to stay and some food to eat.. they were really cool and we sang hymns in qeqchi with them last monday night in a members house.. the dad is 72 and still working and they make 30 quetzales in one day which is just a little more then 3 dollars and its hard tiring work..
umm so far me and my comp are teaching really good together.. we both give short parts and trade off the time well.. we have had some good lessons and we have felt the spirit and so have the invstigators.. we found a wood bball court in carcha!! but we still cant play bball yet.. we meet pres on weds so thatll be exciting and hopefully he will take away that rule soon.. we also have been teaching a lady named irma and her family.
they are good investigators and want to change and come to our church.. they have gone to a few movie nights but here is the problem.. the husband is a retard.. we talked to him on saturday for the first time and said that we want to meet with him and help him recieve more blessings and to help him have a better more united family... he didnt want to listen to us but he did for about 15 min.. it was the best contact ive ever done..me and my comp went back and forth testifying and telling him that he could see his dad and other families members again even if they have passed away.. he said that he doenst believe that but he believes there is a god.. i told him we were representatives of Christ and we wanted to help him but he didnt want our help but the spirit was really strong and i felt a burning in my chest.. we then asked if his family could go and he said no i am in charge and will say what they do and i dont want them to go.. the dumb guys-husbands here are SSSOOOOOOO DUUMMMMBBB they are holding their famillies back.. they wont let them progress because they dont want to go to church, dont want to marry their wives even though they have kids, or they wont go to church.. anyway its special and ive really learned how not to be good husband here cause they dont treat their wives well and dont help them get closer to Christ.. 
also in institute this week we learned about how the thoughts we think can make us become good or bad things.. its not like i have a lot of bad thoughts but i really have been trying to do as the teacher said and when a bad though comes into my mind cut it out before it grows.. its really good to think of it that way as a seed and plant because if we let the seed grow then we end up later on doing the bad things or thoughts that come into our mind.. so we really need to be virtous and keep those things out and if they enter change what we are thinking of and fast.. we reactivated another family recently... we went on friday and after the lesson they thanked us for helping them out and they have felt a difference in their spirituality when we visit their house and all the famliy is active again.. its good to feel appreciated and know we are making a difference in bringing people back to church.. also this week both my comp and i had a feeling we should contact a house..
so we did and found a new investigator.. he is 18 and made some really dumb choices in his life but wants to change.. we talked about repentance and yesterday we passed by to see how he was doing and he is a lot happier now..itll be interesting to see how that goes.. we got rogels papers started today so hopefully we will finish the last part this week then get his dpi or indentification in a month or so.. 6 investigators came to church but none of the good ones who could get baptized soon like rogel dominga or juan and maria.. its been raining a ton here recently and we have been sporting boots.. and they way a lot and make us really tired at night .. but its better then a lot of sun and getting burnt..
also mom that family gave me that jacket and another white shirt cause i was soaked that night and they didnt want me to get sick.. haha the people are good here and care about us..and then the next day the guy asked me to bless his grandaughter in church.. like the name and blessing.. i told him that itd be better that bishop or he do it.. it was cool though to have him ask me.. anyway also some of our invstigators are changing and becoming more acceptive and open.. thats been cool to see their changes and little miracles in their lives..
anyway my time is almost up but i love yall a ton.. i will send another email from another computer real quick so you can see our coordination with red white and blue ties and nylons.. anyway love yall and viva los estados unidos
