Doing Great!

Hola familia! Como estan! Dad and Ian, I hope you had a great fathers day! Things are going well in Frutal 2! We have two fechas,one for this Sunday and next Saturday. We had an awesome ward activity for food storage last saturday, and three of our investigators walked away with bags full of rice, beans and sugar. We had about 7 investigators there which was a miracle. Four of our investigators were there before any of the members! This week we are going to focus on putting fechas with one family, La Familia Lizama, but the dad is the most positive out of all of them so hopefully he can help the rest of his family get on board for baptism. We keep trying to find new families by talking to the families we see in the street, asking for references and knocking on a few doors. We dont have to tract very much, which is really nice. This week has been great with Hermana Ralphs, from kaysville-no she doesnt know the Hendersons- with us. She is a great missionary, follows all the rules and is trying to learn spanish. Hna Brown and I are trying to work on getting her to smile a little bit more :) My spanish is coming along a little bit better now, thanks so much for all your advice, love and support. Lets see...welp about the culture...we eat tortillas, a lot! they are these really good little corn tortillas that are made fresh everyday. We have a cocinera that we eat with three times a week and she always gives us tortillas. Everyone blasts reggaeton music here which is hilarious. There are some women in the traditional Guatemalan dress, like colorful skirts and flowery blouses, but most of the people here in the capital are just guatemaltecos. My house is still infested with daddy long legs and cockroaches, but oh well. This place is just awesome though. We have plans to go to Antigua and on another cool hike around here soon on the next couple of p-days. Im way excited. And yes, Hermana Brown and I laugh everyday. We have to laugh sometimes to keep from crying haha we have a ton of fun together and we both love to work hard, so its a blast. She really pushes me. I think thats all for this week, I love this work and know that this is the work of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I hope you all are being nice to the missionaries at home, they need your love and support! I shared that scripture with nara i think, but theres one in d and c that says if you help the missionaries, you wont lose your reward or you will be blessed or something like that. haha. love you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh and can you please tell nana happy birthday for me from yesterday, i sent her a postcard but it wont get there intime i dont think. and you might want to give her my new address of the central mission, she is still sending my letters to the CCM. oh aha and this last week when we had changes, we were all pretty sure i was going to leave, including our ward mission leader. so he made me the nicest card, like put together quotes and even took the time to find a large picture of a mosquito and the back page of the note with the mosquito said, we wont forget you hermana wetzel! haha from the zancudos. so funny and cute. oh he said that becuase the mosquitoes love my blood!! we have an inside joke that the zancudos love my new blood and so he has a bottle of oFF! bug spray at his house for me to use every time we go. hope all is well with everyone! love you!!!!!
