May 29th, 2012: Hello

Hi Family

   Well this past week was great! We had three baptisms! It was the first time I didnt baptize a family! Oh well its still three important souls! 3 children of our Heavenly father! It was great I cant send fotos because my camera wont work but thats oka I will soon! It was a girl named Ester and her sister in law Enma. and then a little boy who was just a blessing from the Lord named Ian. It was awesome! I was very very happy! This past week was super crazy though. I couldnt even think. I had to go to my new area for three days to learn it and then we had lots of baptismal interviews in the district so it was kind of crazy but I loved it! I hope to have great success in my new area it should be great! Its going to be weird but I will have a smaller district and so less pressure!  But it should be great! My new area is Chimaltenango 1 and its pure mountain so it will be a great place maybe ill learn a bit of the mountain languages there that would be awesome its called Kachikel!  I sure hope so! it will be fun! Anywho I gotta goo Love you all and thanks for being a great family!

Just Michelle Thanks so much Michelle I am going to print it out and read it all the time to give me inspiration to work harder everyday! You get the big PRIZE!! haha Thanks so much again. Now for the rest of you I will still wait for the emails I guess! But if you dont remember what I asked just read the last email! haha No its alright I know some of you are really busy with all of your new technology so I understand! You and your iPhones and iPads!! But HEY no BIG DEAL! Anywho I love you all n stuff! This past week was good we had conference with Elder Amado and then interviews as well! In interviews President told me that I am going to be one change more with my current comp. He says I am helping him too much that he just cant take me away from him yet. But whats happening is that in a week the Zone Leaders and us are switching areas! We are going to Chimaltenango and they are coming to San Lucas. Im staying with my comp though and we are going to their area. So its kind of sad I am already leaving this area but thats okay I guess! Chimaltenango is a great area!

We had a conference with Elder Amado of the seventy! WHAT AN AMAZING MAN! He is awesome. I wish he could talk in General Conference he is so awesome! His english isnt so good yet but we will see what happens! I love that man so much! WOW! It was seriously so spiritually filling. It was awesome. He talked about the doctrine and just a bunch of things and alot about having faith in Jesus Christ as well. Ive been thinking about that ever since and how much more my faith can grow. But I would like to ask all of you that read this email to write me back and share with me your testimony and faith in Jesus Christ! I would love that! Thanks so much! Well dont have much time but I love you all and hope you all have a fantastic weeek!! Keep on being a great family! Sorry it was a short email this week! Just know that Elder Amado was great!

Hello Family..
   Well first off I just want to say Happy Birthday to my brother Jake! Way to go! Proud of you!. Hope all your wildest dreams came true! Also this week Happy Mothers day! CANNOT WAIT! Its gonna be fun! Anywho this past week was good. The third week in a row that I got to stand at the pulpet to speak to the ward. I love it! My first three weeks I have been able to do that! I have really talked about the importance of working with the members and its helped alot. The members now seem like they really are willing to help. We were able to teach a brother of one of the members here and he is awesome. He grew up in Washington DC and he totally looks like he is from the mafia and talks like it but we are gonig to baptize him. He will be here in Guate for another year or so and he finally wants to hear from the missionaries. His sister is so AWESOME. She has a son also in the mission. Im not sure what happen to her husband but shes great! We had the first lesson with him on sunday and he is awesome! During the lesson he really understood great. It was really an emocional lesson. The sister is so happy and so is he. He came to church that day and loved it so things are awesome. At the end of the lesson we got him to pray and it was awesome. He couldnt finish because he was so choked up and we all felt the spirit so strong. It was awesome. We all shed some tears together. I love it. Just pray for him. his name is Fernando. He will be baptized here soon we just gotta teach him lots. But anywho it was great. Well I dont have much time but i love you all and hope all is well with the family! I love this work and this gospel. I love the lord. I am so blessed to be representing him in this glorias cause! I love you all and may God Bless!!

May 1, 2012: O-lo...

Family... The greatest family in the world!!
   How is everything!? Well things are good here in Guate. Great and Happy! This past week was full of ups and downs. Ill tell you an interesting story. SO..... Well we were out working hard just knockin doors. Trying to find new people to teach because we are still in the process of opening an area. We still have zero investigators.. But no worries we will find some soon I just know it! We were knocking doors and finally we found a man. We entered and starting teaching him. It was great I was real happy. He only had one chair so I just though well we will stand. While we were teaching my companion was like I need to sit down so I passed him the chair and he sat down. I continued to teach and thought everything was fine. No it wasnt... Out of the corner of my eye I see my comps body go limp and slowly started falling out of the chair. I tried to catch him with my leg but his head just hit my knee and then his head hit the ground really hard. It was bad. He straight fainted! It was crazy I didnt know what to do. He was out for like 2 or 3 minutes and I was just freakin out. HA HA I kept my cool but the man who we were teaching all of a sudden put his hands on him and started to pray to take out the evil spirits from him! HAHHA It was a Nightmare!!! I wanted to be like stop doing that please. You cant do that. But it was just crazy! Anywho It was just a nightmare. He finally came to and I was just shooken up so we called a member to come pick us up. It was a crazy day! But dont worry we went to the doctor yesterday and all is good he just needs to drink water like crazy. I made him drink alot of water yesterday and so did the doctor. This morning he tells me he wet the bed!! Ah man I love my companion! He is just too funny. He has a hard time though with missionary work. He doesnt quite know how to teach or really do alot of things but I am excited to be a ble to help him. Any whoo my week was kind of crazy. HAHA But yeah I love my new area. Its super wealthy and so its nothing like the coast where you can just find like 30 or 40 investigators in a week. haha Here its alitte harder. The people here are alot more prideful! But I love it. my house is great too I have a fireplace. and a washing machine! There is only two houses with washing machines. This house that im in and the house of the APs haha its awesome! The place im at is super cold compared to my last area so im kind fighting off a sickness right now but I love the coldness right now its super great! My district is awesome as well! The sisters in my district are super great! I am very happy right now. Little worried because we have had rough two weeks but we should have great week this week. I gave a great talk on sunday it was awesome. The ward is huge so I was a little nervous. You know me how I procrastinate and soooo I just winged it but it went really great! afterwards alot of members told me that they have people theyd like me to teach! It was awesome because I talked about the the inportance of missionary work and working with the members! it was awesome! This is just a ramble on paragraph but who cares right..Anywho... How is everything at home! Molly I love you I hope your birthday was great. Ive had a card written for like quite some time.. Still isnt sent but it will be there soon no worries!! haha Welp I love you all n stuff.. Julie I love your little emails thanks!!! Keep working hard and catch a fish for me!! Welp love you all..
