Hola! Greetings from Guate! How is everyone! Last week was an awesome week, a hot week, but still great. It was only sun for three days straight and then finally on Saturday it rained. Im obsessed with the rain here, its so fun. But its also a bit of a struggle because sometimes people dont want to leave their houses, even to come to church when its raining. But we have been making progress with our investigators and this last week we found the cutest couple, Rosa Liliana and Alberto who live in our colonia, the gated/guarded community we live in. Guatemala gated community and what you{re thinking of in the u.s. are very different, I promise! haha but we live in a safe area and have tons of work to do here. The Trio is going well! Its fun to teach with three because everyone has different ideas and adds different things to the lesson. haha I forgot to tell you this last week, but when we had the 'mini mission' a week or so ago, we had this 17 year old girl who wants to go on a mission with us and we had plans to go teach this guy who approached us in the street and asked us to come help his family and him. So we go to their house and its like 730 on a friday night, and the mom, shes like 57, tells us shes getting ready for church. we were like oh thats nice, preparing early, its whatever. So I start talking about the book of mormon and within 20 seconds of me starting to testify, this one guy who was also there listening just goes off about the book of mormon and how the mormons wouldnt let him in the temple and all this stuff. It wasnt really in a mean way, he was just very contradictory and saying all this crazy stuff. We knew we needed to leave and so we just stopped talking and asked if we could leave them with a prayer and the guy who had been talking the whole time informed us that he was an Evangelical Pastor and that he would offer the prayer. So we found ourselves in the middle of a hallelujah, si SeNor prayer that was nuts! Of course we were respectful and left gracefully, but the three of us, with our little mini missionary were all very happy to agree that we would never be going back to that house. Maybe you had to be there, but it was quite interesting and eye opening to see how other religions do things! haha and we came to find out that the mom was preparing for church that night! they were about to start church from 8-10 on a friday night in her house and they were so confused as to why we couldnt stay and join them. so that was interesting. But I love being here, mission life is hard but great. The Lord blesses us everyday with protection, energy and people to teach and so much more. sorry the question mark doesnt work. Im so happy you got to see sister U! I cant believe it! My mission prep teacher was her mission president too. Im sorry to hear about Nanas leg, tell her hi and love you for me. I cant believe Sister Condie is coming home so soon! I sent a letter through nana for brookie, so i dont know if she got that, but if someone could check that would be great. is dan johnson home!!! i sent him a letter in peru too from the ccm, but i dont know if he received that one either. Katie another package is on its way, i think i addressed it to nara this time, but there are some pics from the volcano and everything if you want to put those on the blog. and tell gracie thanks for her prayers! i love hearing what she says!!! i bet she is crazy about her princess fishing pole. Thank you so much for your letters, love and support!!! Love you all! I pray for you everyday. Read Alma 5 14.15. can you find Jesus Christ in your countenance! Love ya!
