Guate Week Two

hola familia! how are you all! i hope everyone is doing fabulous! whoa, i{ve been here for more than a week and what an adventure it has been. i love it down here and there is so much to tell you, so im just going to start!
The best part of the day was this huge market we went to! we spent a couple hours there and contacted three people too! hermana mellor, who is my comp again, i dont know if i told you, but i guess she felt the spirit tell her to talk to the guy who i wouldnt buy peanuts from because he wouldnt give me a good price! so i had just walked away, and hermana goes and hands him a book of mormon. the other three hermanas had just walked away and so i was left to interpret the spanish for them. haha it was funny but the guy listened to us and his parents were right there selling fruit and so he said the missionaries could come over and teach his family! I am starting to understand more spanish and it was a miracle i understood him, it was so awesome!
we contacted the lady we all bought matching guate skirts from, and then this other guy walked up to us and saw we were missionaries,he told us he was a member living in cali and he wanted us to come teach his family that lived in guate too! way cool. the market was nuts guys, way more insane than the ones in cusco! and ps we ate lunch at wendys-that was fun ordering in spanish.....hahaha but anyway, we are the only five missionaries at the whole ccm because everyone else left yesterday and the other miss. dont get here until tomorrow, so basically we got the special treatment yesterday, the caterer even forgot to bring dinner ( i love latin culture) and so presidente said no problem, welp sisters-look slike we are going out to dinner! so he took us to a guatemalan steak house. being a missionary is the best! i wish i could tell you all the details of everyday life, but i will tell you more on mothers day i guess. haha we are about to go buy stuff from a lady who sells stuff from the back of her green car on the side of the ccm, carro verde haha its great.
but guess what?we got to go to wal mart yesterday! it was so fun. hna steimle took us yesterday, mol you would love her. they are from pasadina, cali. i havent had any migraines this week! wahoo!
yesterday we went with hermana steimle, the ccm presidents wife and president to a guatemalan map so we knew where we were and where we would be going, and then we saw this cute orphanage next to a new dentist office they are building for the orphanage and missionaries, so cool! i love you all and know this gospel is true. i{ve been studying a lot in the book of mormon how many promises there are that god gives us if we follow his commandments, you should look for them, its a fun study. love you all! hers my testimony, part of it, in spanish! La Expiacion de Jesucristo es muy impotante in nuestras vidas. yo se que Jesucristo murio por mi pecados y su pecados y todos los pecados del mundo.depues tres dias, Jesucristo resucito . estoy muy agredecido por el amor que Jesucristo y Dios tienen por mi.Yo se que Jesucristo vive! Digo estas cosas en el nombre de Jesucristo, amen. xoxoxxo!
