July 18, 2011



hey fam,
first of all dad happy bday before i forget and sean too and paul i think yours was a while ago and i dont know who else.. cody.. sorry i dont remember bdays very well..
anway we went with rogel to get his papers and supposedly they will be back next month sometime so he can get married.. he is really excited and wants to make changes in his life.. we passed by twice with him this week and he was doing really well and we passed by sunday morning too and he said he and his wife were going to be in church and then they didnt show up.. it was crappy but i still have hope.. we just need to work really hard with him and get him and his wife to have a stronger testimony.. then they also need a fellowshippper or aka a member who can relate with them and invite them to things and share testimony with them.. umm twice last week we visited a qeqchi lady who is less active.. we read in qeqchi with her out of the lix ju lak mormon..
haha we sounded terrible but it was cool to be able to semi speak the language she does so that she could better understand.. umm we had a really good district meeting last week.. the spirit was really strong and we talked about the importance of this work and how we need to open our mouths and talk with everybody.. there is a pic of my district and some other pics that i dont have time to explain but if yall have questions just ask..
we had a fellowship night last week and it was raining and outside and cold.. i thought nobody would come but our good investigators came.. marta virginia and sofia.. all of them bringing multiple kids without their husbands.. they are all so cool but their husbands wont do there part so that they can get married and baptized.. its really frustrating sometimes and hard not to get down when you are working so hard but nobody can get baptized cause of dumb guys.. anyway i am going to send more pics on the part two of this email alright so also we are still doing english classes and that is going pretty well... we have quite a few kids from my area coming to it and participating.. we taught them how to pray in english last week so at the end of the kids prayed in english.. it was cool.. also last week we taught alma 50 1-6 to a family and put goals with them to help them have more famliy unity and things to help them strenghten their testimonies.. it was good but i dont have time to explain the comparison we did.. juan and maria want to get baptized its just that his work on sunday is still up in the air.. they will be really good possiblities though for this change.. his wife said that this next sunday he should be able to come with his wife and two boys.. if thats the case they could get baptized this change cause they are already married and they are pretty quality investigators..
we watched together forver with them which is about families and the trials families have but how through the gospel we can overcome whatever challenge.. and be strengthened spriritually.. it was good and they felt the spirit liked the movie and a lot and we bore testimony and it was a good lesson.. we found a good new this week too.. a 20 year old who got his wife pregnant is going to marry her because he knows he should after doing something wrong.. wowwwww its a miracle to see that happen in carcha.. haha sorry for that sarcasm but if yall only understood how ridiculous it really is... but he asked us a bunch of questions and we answered everything with the bible and bom.. he liked it and a lot and we are going to pass by with him again.. he is catholic but doesnt have a testimony of that church he is just following the wicked traditions of his fathers like it says in the bom.. haha we will see what happens with him.. umm that carry wood pic is cool huh.. we didnt carry it but thats how everyone does it in carcha and qeqchi land.. its cool but hurts the forehead a little.. umm so yeah i dont have a change.. i am being positive though and we could have 2 families baptized this change if we do our part and they do theirs and we follow the spirit.. my flying pic from the wall is cool and yeah.. umm church this week was crappy cause no investigators came but itll be better next week.. ummmmm everyone in my district is training but me.. so thats kind of sad cause i wanted to but didnt.. but i know that there is a reason for me to be in carcha.. somebody needs my help and i still need to learn something.. anyway my time is out but i love yall a ton and keep being good and going to church and study the scriptures because Christ will come soon when we least expect it and we need to be prepared.. love yall!
