Happy Valentines Day

Feliz dia de Cariño!!! There are about fifty million different names for this day in Guate, and yes they do celebrate it! We are looking forward to a normal day of work here filled with lots of love of the Savior. haha Anyway, we had a great week this week. Yesterday we broke the record again and had even more people in church than ever before. Our new bishop rocks! Im so glad you got to see Guate in the training meeting! We had a ward council meeting yesterday with over thirty leaders with our Stake President there to capacitate us, so I can imagine that that is similar to what you saw. But thats how the people are! Love them.

Yesterday was an exciting day as I had to speak in church, we sang in a trio in sacrament meeting and gave the relief society lesson. They might have heard a little too much from me, but I learned a lot and was grateful for the experience. You all know how I love being busy!

This week we had some awesome lessons with Hermana Ulfa. Her name says it all, she is darling! She is so receptive to the gospel, knows its true and is grateful that God blessed her with two sons that were able to serve missions.So now she says she is ready to comply with God´s rules. Heidy Ochoa is also progressing and was so excited this week that she was able to find a skirt in the market to wear to church! The little joys of mission life like that are so fun because you see how excited and ready people are to change their lives, in the little ways for the sake of the gospel. Hermana Marin and I are doing great, both loving La Mariposa, there are a lit of exciting things coming up that will take place in March or in the next change. Life is great and I love Amatitlan.

Have a great week!
