we have been able to find some more people to teach, so thats super awesome!! i will start off with a super pilas investigator we have named Edilma!!
we found her looking for a different family, and when we found her she just asked us what time church started, so we told her and she just showed up on sunday!!! we were STOKED so we visited her this week, and we taught her about the Plan of Salvation and she accepted the invitation to be baptized!! so we are super stoked about that!!
this week we also visited an awesome hermano named hermano montenegro!! he told us about a serious problem that he had in his house.... there were some biting flies that were biting him all night long while he was sleeping! and it was making him swell up all over the place, especially in his eyes! thats when i thought of the mosquito net that my mom sent with me, that i have not touched my entire mission!! so we ran back to the house, brought the net, and set it up in his room!! he was so dang happy, he couldnt help himself from laughing and he almost cried! all because of this mosquito net. after he told us he was so grateful that Heavenly Father had sent 2 angels to his house!!! made me feel pretty dang happy. we were also able to go to his house the next day and help him fix a little fence he had!! his dang chickens kept going into his yard and were eating his flowers, so we helped him out with that little problem!!
being in a ward, there are a lot more people to visit, especially less active members!! a lot of people this week have told us how grateful they are that we visit them, and it just makes me so grateful for this opportunity Heavenly Father has given me to be a missionary here in Guatemala!! a lot of them are coming back to church, and seeing how much they needed it!!
not much else to say... this week we went to that mall again for pday, and this time i rode the carousel with my 2 zone leaders.. just like the good ole days!!
oh yeah, this week we were able to find an hermana to wash our clothes!! thats the first time my clothes have been washed in a washing machine for over a year... crazy stuff.
love you all!!
