Campo Week Five

well hello familia!!!!!!!!!!! gracias for all of your awesome messages, i had one from every single one of you, thats fantastic! haha my zone leader prayed this morning that if our families hadnt written us yet that they would be inspired to write us right now before we had internet, it was hilarious. you guys are the best! i am so happy every one is doing so well, it makes me so happy that i have been blessed with such an incredible family. it sounds like the reunion went well, way to go everyone having a wedding one day and then the reunion the next week! i wrote dan johnson a letter about a month ago, hopefully he will get it before he comes home. thats great they are going to pick him up. the Lord works in mysterious ways because i went on divisions last week with hermana rabanales in villa canales and her sister is serving in dan{s mission! small world. but the mission is great. i dont have time right now to respond to all of your stories, i will write a letter tomorrow but i wanted to give you an update on things here. last week was great, everything was fine, normal, we taught a way pilas lesson to our neighbors and had the ward family history guy come and help us teach on monday, and then on thursday it was great because we just passed by one of our investigators housese to see how their reading was goin g in the ldm, and we ended up staying and teaching them a lesson! they are so awesome, we just need the mom to stop workin gon sundays so she can come to church. but while we were teaching, it started raining.....RAINING ROCKS. haha it was insane! there had been a tiny earthquake that day that lasted about ten seconds and apparently that was when the volcano erupted. so we ran home, luckily we had our umbrellas cuz we were getting pelted left and right, but we made it home. there were so many rocks, well i think its volcanic ash...anyway, we were leaving footprints in it there was so much. and then in the morning.....there was like 4-5 inches on everybodys roof and in the streets! that is a ton of ash and it covered all of guatemala city. so friday we spent the entire day cleaning and doing service for our neighbors. it was good though cuz we got to meet some of our other neighbors and we now have a new cocinera, someone to cook for us twice a week, and we have citas with two other families on our street to come visit them! haha get this, then on saturday it straight rained for 24 hours. its didnt stop once and during the worst part of the storm we were at an investigators house who actually lives in a literal shack on the top of someones roof, who had tons of water coming into their house because their walls were made of cardboard. it seemed hopeless because the rain just kept dumping, but i think we did some good for these people and they appreciated our help. its amazing how some people live down here, be grateful for everything we have been blessed with! I feel very blessed to even have gone home to the house we live in here in Fuentes. and then on sunday church was cancelled and there was a ton more work to be done, so it didnt really feel like a sunday, but lets be honest, missionary sundays are not like sundays at home, but i love it. sundays are always so busy and we get a lot done cuz people are home and with their familias. i love you guys, i have to go, but keep the faith, im fine, loving life and we have zone conference this week, i sent a package to the house so hopefully you will get it soon. muchisimas gracias for all your love and support! I love the thought that comes from somethin we sang at the mtc - we are now the lords missionaries, to bring the world his truth. its so awesome that i am now a missionary for the Lord and I am now happy. i got sister rowes address, so thank you. have a wonderful week everybody! love you so much! adios!
