Rainy days are happy days

Rainy Days are Happy days....

Hey Fam and friends! How are we!? Happy and loving life, hopefully. Sounds like everyone is doing great and busy as ever! ps real quick, dad, did you put jesus stickers on the tie box you sent? I still dont have that and I think its sitting in customs and they have to open it, so just wondering if that was random or because it wasnt insured :) Now because of where Im at, you might want to invest in some virgin mary stickers. Elder Montoya´s mom did that and his package got to him cleaner than a whistle. Im just saying.

Ha! This week was great, lots of stuff to tell. From the fact that we got lost on the side of a Guatemala mountain for an hour and a half hiking down from the waterfalls on pday, the rainy season has officially started here, to meeting Max, an athiest who would rather live in CUBA where there is no religion, but a lot of other safe things..im so sure haha he declined a visit from us because he was married to a woman from the US before and now didnt need anyone or anything in his life, much less God, he says. That was an exciting contact. A bird happened to have really good aim when we were walking with a family to our next appointment, especially cuz my companion is so tall and skinny, but it managed to land a poop right on her jacket by her hip, so weird? We also found a new investigator who basically went through a mini holocaust experience in the mountains of Chimaltenago when she was a teacher up there for 17 years. but she kept going back for the sake of these kids. She´s got a lot of issues but we hope to be able to help her and her Catholic family. que mas....the hike to the waterfall was gorgeous, its amazing what the Lord has gone and created for us, and in the places where we least expect it. These waterfalls are gorgeous, but definitely hidden on the side of a large hill in the middle of Guatemala. Its kind of like the experiences of our lives, Heavenly Father is such a part of our lives but sometimes we are so busy always looking at the outside, we dont take the time to take a deep look into our lives to see what the Lord has done. Its like President Eyrings talk says, that he didnt care how tired he was or how early he had to start the next morning, he always wrote down the miracles he saw in his life that day. What a great council and example for us as latter day saints!

I hope all is well, miss and love you. Dont go on too many trips this summer without me...haha its ok cuz im on a big trip too! In the most gorgeous place on earth! Have a great week! love you all! Sarah Mabey and Con Con thanks for the letters! Is sar hansen getting married this summer? get excited for a reunion in october!sorry! last second the pictures didnt work! next week!

Love,
