Some funny stories too...

Hola! Thanks for your support and love, how is everyone? Guatemala is great and Im lovin life! haha theres a few things I have to say and thats first, Hna Brown if you are reading this, we totally saw the red shorts lady and no one was there to laugh with me! The red shorts lady is this woman in our area who is always walking around with these really tight red spandex shorts on and she is fantastic. We also have sung himno 100 three times in the last week, you know how much i love it....not ;) I love all the hymns, this one just happens to be the tune of Go Tell Aunt Rhody, Mol, so thats why I think its funny. Jorge Juarez sends his saludos, we saw him in the white van and in front of his house the other day. oh gol hahahaha. Jorge Juarez is fantastic too, hes an inactive member thats in our ward, and he always is driving this little white van of children around and always honks and waves at us with his funny little wave and yells, ´heeeeermanas!!!!!!!!´. he almost crashed one time when he was waving at us, oh man. Nery, one of our investigators is now coming to church to play the piano for us since Hna Brown left. He says his time has passed to wear ties, so he just comes dressed in whatever, but we are hoping that one day, somehow, his heart will soften and we figure being in Sacrament meeting is better than no church at all. Hna Ramos, Hermana Moeai and I are working hard and having a ton of fun. My spanish has picked up a lot because Hna Ramos speaks hardly any english(but it is so fun to teach her new english phrases haha she has the cutest english accent) and I only speak english when Hermana Moeai doesnt understand something. She knows a ton though! So things with the comps are great. We had a funny experience on Sunday, we had a little bit of time before one of our citas and so we decided to contact this house. Its an orange house on the right side of the park...haha We are technically not allowed to knock doors in our area, but I had a feeling we should go to this one house...but we have to come up with ways to get around doing it, and so we decided to toke this door and ask for the familia gomez. A 16 year old girl answered and said, no they dont live here, we are the familia ramirez. what address are you looking for? Um....the orange house on the right side of the park???!! haha she totally accepted a return appointment with her family for this week. woops, i know that sounds bad, but we´re trying here! One of the desafios, or problems in our area is that we cant knock doors and so we just have the liberty to think of ways to get around it. My companion Hna Moeai thought that was pretty great. Also, we had an incredible noche de hogar with the Familia Hernandez, hermano hernandez is the teacher in Young Mens of Christian, so we brought Christian too, and a less active family, Familia Pritz and we had it in the house of President Poncio. Pres Poncio gave an awesome lesson on the Priesthood. It was awesome!! >The spirit was so strong and I was just looking around the room in awe at the goodness of these people that i love so much. Even though I cant communicate very well with them sometimes, I can still feel their spirits and they are incredible.We always talk about them having to come visit me in Salt Lake someday, so hopefully we´ll have a full house of Guatemalans one day! I love them soooo much. Fatima, who is the friend of Gloria and also the techinical daughter in law of Rosita, even though shes not married to Rositas son, she has a little baby, Javier who is soooo stinkin cute...has a fecha! Shes wanted to be baptized for a long time and so we extended the baptismal commitment and she was shaking her head yes before I even finished saying it! Shes really quiet, but so cute and nice. Satan has been working hard on her, Hermana Brown, can you give satanas a kick in the pants please?!! haha sorry, inside joke. We started teaching the Familia Lizama again, they agreed to read the book of mormon with the ward before Christmas! We have been visiting a lot of families in the ward, menos activos, and telling all our investigators to read the Book of Mormon as a family before Christmas! Its a ward goal we have, just like President Hinckley told us to do a few years back. I love the Book of Mormon and I want everyone to Love the Book of Mormon too! We think this is a really good way to help the families to be more unified and a good missionary opportunity for everyone in the ward to tell their friends about the book of mormon and how we are reading it with a goal to finish it before la navidad. Even though I probably wont be here in December , Im still so excited for our ward to do this. I found a cool scripture this morning, its Alma 53 vs 11, 13-15. In vs 11 the anti nephi lehis are remembering when they made their oath not to take up arms...and then in 13-15, i love how they talk about covenant making and how they chose to keep their covenants even though they were facing war with the Lamanites and could lose their lives. This shows us that regardless of the circumstance, we need to stay true to our covenants. It is hard sometimes, but the Lord always will provide a way for us to accomplish our task as it says in 1 ne 3 vs 7, and also he has promised us the blessings in d and c 82 10 that he is bound when we do what he says, but when we dont do what he says, or what we have covenanted, we have no promise of being blessed. I always tell my investigators that i like blessings so it makes it a little easier to follow the commandments of God because i know we will always be blessed for it, and they will and you all will too!. The Lord always provides a way, testify of that!!! Thanks for your prayers, love and support! muah!!! oh ps we went on the tres cerras hike again, the one i sent pictures of, and we got soaked to the bone but it was so fun and a good way to get to know the new district! adios!!!

Love you all!
