Monday, December 10^th

Neither one of you said anything about the fact that I´ve been gone NINE months already!! You must not miss me....haha jk I know you do because I´m your favorite daughter.

This week has been pretty decent we had ALMOST 27 lessons! Yesterday we did divisions with the ward missionaries which was really cool! The 3 of them are all planning on going on missions ever since Pres.Monson said they can go at 19 they have been getting their paperwork done so that´s really exciting. They are awesome and so ready to go and are teaching parts of the lesson without any problems so that´s awesome.

This week we had a lesson with A & M that went well. We read in 2 Nephi 9 and talked about what Heavenly Father expects of us. A seems to be changing little by little. We went back another time in the week and taught the importance of reading and praying and doing everything he needs to so that he will be able to receive an answer. The only problem is that he is still going to an Evangelical church.

We taught O the Word of wisdom because he had questions about it and when we were talking he said he was going to give up drinking coffee and tea right on the spot! He said that he believes that it´s an important commandment so he wants to complete it. We also taught him this week about the Book of Mormon and he said that he would read it to see if it is true.

We taught a new investigator named E who told us a story about how her son fell out of a tree and they took him to the hospital practically dead and both his arms were broken but she went and prayed and went back the next day and the doctor said that they took another set of x-rays and that his arms weren't broken anymore and that he was fine and could go home! that was cool...now we just need to meet her son because it´s obvious that God has a purpose for him...and he needs to get baptized! 

We taught a girl named P and at the end of the lesson she showed us a picture of her brothers baptism and then said I was baptized too but I don't have any pictures. Well that was a surprise! We´re going to teach her again tonight to get her dats to make sure she really is baptized because she doesn't remember anything about the church and we're also going to teach her mom because supposedly she´s NOT baptized...as far as we know.

Yesterday after church we taught W. She said she wants to get baptized!! Now we just have to teach her basically every lesson haha but she comes to church every week by herself so she´s pretty awesome. She´s going to girls camp with the young women next week too so that should be fun for her. We put a goal for her baptism for the 23rd.

One of our recent converts that hasn't attended since his baptism in like Feb. came to church yesterday too!! That was really cool to see him there. We gave one of the ward missionaries the assignment to pass by for him yesterday and she did and he came to church!!! 

Tomorrow we are going to the temple..I would love for you to go at the same time as me but it will be impossible seeing as our session is at....5:30 in the MORNING which would be 4:30 there and there won’t be a session that early... we have to leave our house at 3:45 AM yuck..

Oh well at least we get to go to the temple.   Guatemala City Temple

As for the phone call we still don't know. It depends on if I have changes or not and we won't know until next week sorry :( I think we will be able to call to tell you our number and what time to call at but I'm not sure.

 

The picture I sent with the weekly email is what I´m doing with the money..They´re gift baskets with beans, rice, sugar, morcaf (I’ll bring some home so you can try it but it´s Mormon coffee), powdered milk, soup, and cookies. I am also buying toys for some of the kids here. That´s not all of the baskets just all the ones we had finished at the time

well ya es la hora.... I love you sooooooooo much daddy! I hope you have a great week! Talk to you for real in 2 weeks! And see you in 8 months...wow que baggy haha LOVE YOU!
