Hola! Como estan?! Mi querida familia y amigos especiales.....
How are you! Guatemala is great as usual, who knew a girl could fall this much in love with such a crazy place! Oh will I have stories for you! I didnt get to share my experiences that I had these last two weeks in the TEMPLE!!!! I went two p'days in a row.What a blessing! There is no place like the temple. I talked to Hna Santizo and she is so excited!!! She cant wait for October.
I also got to go on divisions the other day because Evellyn, our cook´s daughter who is just too great, tells the bishop to call my mission president to ask him if I can miss church in my ward and go to their ward conference to play the flute! I was shocked when President gave me the ok, but it was a great experience and the spirit was so strong in this meeting, I missed my own ward but my little hija took care of everything in our ward and she was with an ex missionry too so I felt better abou it. But that was the big adventure of this week. I also met a girl who was companions with my MTC companion, hna mellor over there in Nicaragua. small world. We also went to Panajachel this week, what a gorgeous lake!!! The spirit is so strong there too, guatemala is just too much, so beautiful! Life is so great, hope you´re enjoying everything! You´re in my thoughts and prayers. love you!!!
hasta luego...

Still in Antigua
Hey!! Greetings from Antigua...I didn´t have changes! Well I did, but Im still in my same area. This is a tender mercy. I knew Hna Johansen wouldnt kill me, that would have just been too good to be true, but at least I got to stay here to finish out my mission in a place I Love!!!!!! And especially now that Pres Brough says we cant leave our areas, ha thats luck because Im in the area where everyone wants to come and we never get bored here! President Brough has instituted a lot of new rules which is only to be expected, but we have already seen blessings from these changes. So, they werent gonna let me go without a fight. When I got my answer to be here until September, I didnt know why, I just knew I had to èndure to the end¨. And now, upon receiving my new companion, I knew the Lord had something else in store for me. My new daughter pretty much explained that to me when I was the only sister missionary at trainers interviews Wednesday morning....that was interesting- ill explain more when I get home, but needless to say I am so grateful for the opportunity to be here with my first latin daughter! Its been fun to just jump in to teaching without the language barrier that I know my trainer struggled with when she was with me. But life is good, she is from Honduras and her name is Hna Cuellar.
We saw tons of miracles this week, especially with the familia Bautista!! Thats gonna be a good story for the grandkids. Let me just tell you about this week.
so MOnday night we get change calls, pretty sure that if anyone is leaving, its me. But no, hna Johansen got the call. Then tuesday morning we were going to the temple, everything went great there, i learned sooooo much and had an incredible experience in the clestial room. ba. then, on Tuesday night we got back from the temple and may or may not have had to run straight to a baptism we had planned....and we made it on time. It was pouring rain but so fun. Then, that night we had to pack hna johansens stuff and then we woke up at 330 in the morning!! our ride was leaving to the cap at 515 am and we had to go with him. sweet evellyn came with us just for the ride because we cant be alone with a man in a car. so we arrive at 615am at the chapel and just plopped ourselves down on top of her suitcases trying to make sense of what was all happening. It was nuts. We´re just chillin there for about an hour and a half until the zone leaders come to open the church. mind you this chapel is right next to the highway and theres people passin in cars, honkin wavin, and whos idea was it to run on the freeway? we saw like ten people run by just on their morning jog. anyway, we have interviews at 8. the real meeting doesnt start until 1 pm- thats great. so we try to make ourselves useful til then...we have change meeting and then we´re off again to Antigua. I was exhausted at the end of this day, because we had a full afternoon of appointments but got back late and so we were running around...amen to being on the mission. i love it! THese last five weeks I know will be wonderful, thank you for your prayers and concern, I am fine!!!!!!!! love you all, lets live consecrated lives. love yoU!

Christ
Hey!!
Greetings from Guate! I havent been able to write very much, but things here are great. The Lord continues to bless us, perfrom miracles and test us everyday. I´ve been thinking a lot about Christ like attributes lately and one that I know he had and that the scriptures testify to us that he had, was integrity. If you think about it, thats probably a huge part of what made him perfect! He did everything when he was supposed to, even when he was ridiculed or no one was watching! What if he would have gone into the garden just to sit there and pretend to do the Atonement, his apostles were sleeping, no one was there. That might be a little extreme, because he wouldnt have done that, but if we really think about it, if we have integrity we do whats right always because we know HE is watching us. We are all responsible for our acts, judgment day is not that far off from the looks of things down here haha. I know I need to change a lot of things and be more Christlike, but I just wanted to share 3 nefi 27 27 with you. I know Christ came to visit the Americas and that these are His words to US today. Love you all so much, thanks for the support and write me lots, you dont have very much time to write me as Hermana Wetzel!!!
Love,
Hermana Wetzel
