Bax kúu yuchu!! That's maya for que paso! and that's Spanish for whats happening! there are so many people who speak maya,i have no clue why they sent me to a Spanish speaking MTC. jajaja. this week has been an amazing week. let me start off by saying that i am officially addicted to pan! pan is this sweet Mexican bread that guys on bikes ride around selling and every time i hear them clap the pan clap i get pretty excited! so don't be surprised if i come back really overweight from the pan down here because it is soo worth it! haha. this week my comp and i moved in this other house where we are staying now, its pretty cool because we are in our own area now. showers in the morning are actually pretty interesting. first we take a bucket of water, then we warm it up on the stove and use that water to take our shower! and we wash our clothes by hand,so when i come back to the states be prepared to have a cheaper water bill mom! jaja. this week we had a lesson with a family in our branch and this lesson was about the atonement. so we bought some cookies and brought them over to their casa, and explained how Jesus Christ atoned for our sins and paid the price, so first we brought out the cookies and told them if they wanted one the price was 20 push ups per cookie! none of them wanted a cookie until we revealed to them that as i was a representative of Christ that i would pay the price and do the push ups for them. they guiltily took the cookies and feeling bad and eventually they didn't want me to go through that many push ups. lets just say after that lesson i was pretty buff! i asked my comp if we could do that lesson more so by the time of our next transfer i would be toned! jaja this week with our progressing investigator family, we finally got the full family to participate in our lessons. they are reading the book of Mormon and have committed to baptism! hopefully they keep attending church. i love this family soo much, they are full of energy every time we are there. and every time they see us coming down their street the two youngest girls, ages 9 and 11 and their dogs are always the first ones to greet us with excitement. for Christmas eve,us missionaries planned a branch activity and it was a big turn out! we showed some Mormon messages, had the youth perform a traditional dance and then after had 2 pinatas ready to finish the night of fun. and then to end it we had our potluck dinner thing. weird order but it all worked out and was a lot of fun and really brought our branch together! we are planning another activity for the branch this Friday. about Lehi's dream. ill tell more about that next week! well as i always say, i'm loving it here more and more everyday, the people are really nice here. i love sweating everywhere i go because of the humidity because it makes me glisten! oh yeah, and even down here i happen to look like Obama to people in the branch! hahaha .lets just say i take a lot of pictures with them! well that's all for this week! i love you guys and i want to let you know that this is the lords work and i'm soo happy and honored to be doing it! everyday He has blessed me in so many ways and i know he loves each and everyone of us. everyday we leave the house my comp and i always bear our testimony in Spanish! and just by doing that it has strengthened my testimony each day. i know this is the true restored gospel! and i'm glad that i get to share it everyday, even though its hard for me because of the language, but i am doing my best! love ya lots!
El evangelio es verdadero!
