August 15, 2011

ok i hit 18 months last week!! pretty crazy huh? umm also its president election time down here.. its way crazier then the states with a ton of parties signs and dumb buses that drive around all day playing campaign songs!!





haha anyway.. i grabbed a lady the last week right after a car hit her.. it was pretty crazy! it was just he mirror that hit her but she was an old qeqchi lady and i probably saved her from falling.. it was scary and the retarded taxi driver didnt even stop to see if she was ok.. we also found a new family last week.. it was cool because we prayed to find a new family and we found one and they were just waiting outside for us kind of.. it was cool and one of the their kids called us to go to them.. so we did and the parents accepted us and told us to go in.. it was cool.. we had one baptism in my distict last week and hopefully this sat we will have 3 more! with norma and virgilio and their papers it shouldnt be too hard to get them married.. they just will need her parents signature but with the papers it shouldnt be too hard..


we dedicated a home last week too.. it was cool and the first time that i had done that during my mission.. on sunday we had 3 investigators there.. it was kind of crappy but 3 families are coming now consistently that we have reactivated!!! :) we helped a lady too last week who is really logical learn about faith and realize the Book of Mormon in many cases explains things better then the bible especically dealing with the plan of salvation.. it was cool to see things click in her mind and realize that faith is a lot more important that logic..
also a lady and her kids realized blessings last week for having gone to church..it was really cool.. they realized that by going to church that had recieved many blessings.. but they didnt go yesterday.. i guess they figured those extra blessings would last them all this week too.. lol haha but hopefully they come again this sunday.. we did an activity yesterday though like i said.. we talked about visiting and home teaching.. the members and leaders and youth felt the spirit and realized how inviting people can start a change in one person and be a chain event.. we watched a cool movie about youth in some state.. a preist started out being the only member in the preists qurom but after he had 26 members just because he invited one friend then the friend invited a friend/family member.. it was really cool and all of the kids were black.. i miss black people and the way they talk and how funny they are.. there are no black people down here.. anyway so hopefully we have change and better times ahead in carcha.. we have interviews tomorrow and zone conference on weds.. so thatll be good to be instructed and talk to president.. we have 2 weeks left in the change.. well i am doing pretty good and just trying to push through and be positive and find out what the Lord wants and not do what i want because thats not always whats best for me ive learned.. anway we went to caves again today.. here are some pics.. well love yall a ton and take care.. write me back please when yall have time!!
adios y les amo!
