well last monday we had a good fhe with a family who hasnt been going to church very consistently.. we did the hymn thing where everyone shares there testimony and then we sick the hymn they pick..it was good and i felt like with that lesson and another one we had we were able to get them to go to church with us on sunday.. well atleast three of them.. then one of those references i was telling yall about last week is really cool and wants to find the true church.. we had to really good lessons with him last week.. i felt a need to bring a bom with me because usually i dont and so i brought it.. then we taught him and he needed one.. it was something small but i knew the spirit helped me remember to bring it.. but anyway his name is reuben.. he notices a difference in our church and when he went one time he felt the difference inside and could feel the spirit and a peace that he hadnt felt in other churches.. he is very interested and is understading everything very clearly.. also he told us he hasnt been baptized before which is good because that is usually a problem that people dont want to get baptized for the second time.. he even asked why the brass plates werent on the earth anymore.. like he has really good questions and understands well.. he couldnt come to church yesterday though and we found out that he isnt married and supposedly doesnt want to get married even though he has two kids with his wife!!! aahhhh dumb guats and not wanting or getting married.. anyway i still have hope for him though.. please pray for him though and that we can get things worked out with his marriage and more then anything that he can get a testimony about the church and want to have a change of heart.. with janet and estrella they are ok and want to get involved with the RS and YMs so we are trying to work on that.. we taught them about baptism and they think its necessary but they dont realize the need of priesthood though or proper authority.. umm the fam cucoy.. they had a lot of good questions the first time we passed by with them..we clarified a lot of their doubts and we taught part of the plan of salvation.. the spirit definitely helped us and led us to the scriptures we needed and wanted to share with them.. because i just started flipping through my bible but was able to find what i needed to share with them..we talked about the fall of adam and infant baptism and they understood and it went right along with what they thought because they know that God is just.. then sat night we passed by and.. their dumb friends started saying mean things to them for recieving us.. and so has their family members and neighbors.. it was crappy but even though they werent going to recieve us they did.. and they were down and discouraged but we had a good lesson with them and got them happy again and feeling the peace that only the holy ghost can give.. we talked about trials and how all the important ang d good things arent super easy to do always. .we talked about the trials of Paul in the new test and about joseph smith in the jail.. they liked everything we shared and we definitley saw a differnence in them when we left.. it was cool and they want to move houses and get away from the problems they are having so we are looking for one a long with some of them members in our ward who were with us in ward council.. i am going to finish the email on another one! and the pics are me and a monkey in our area and me with part of the family cucoy and with atol shuco... the rotted corn drink.. mmm yum yum
umm i am studying Jesus the Christ and mary after she gave birth to Christ stayed in bed for 40 days and that was a tradition of the jews or part of the mosaic law.. and the qeqchis still do that.. or like they are ancestors of the lamanites and they still are following the wicked traditions of their fathers.. haha i dont know if thats how it is but thats what id like to think so they.. umm as zls we have to do divisions with every missionary in the zone so last week i did it twice with the elders in carcha.. it was good and im learning a lot from the others missionaries and hopefully teaching them a thing or two.. also we have been working our tails off with less actives and we had 4 or 5 fam of less actives come yesterday.. it was legit and even though we didnt have invest. there we had a lot of less actives there! also something im really excited for is general conference.. we are getting everybody ready for that.. its fun and we are telling people to make their lists of questions so that the leaders of the church can answer them in their talks.. im so grateful to have leaders called of God here on the earth to guide us and tell us of what is to come! i know they are called of God and if we give heed to their words we will be blessed and protected even though many crazy and bad things are going on in these last days before the second coming of Christ.. well i love yall a ton.. take care and start getting ready for conference.. love yall take care be safe and always remember me and my comp and investigators in yalls prayers please!! and ill do the same!elder hatch
