Transfers and Broken Water Pumps

Túx ká' bín! thats Mayan for "whats going on?" this week has been an interesting and busy week like always! today was transfers, and i am still with my papa, or trainer. the beginning of this week was a challenge, because our water pump broke and our supply from our water tank was gone. it took like all week to fix so what my comp and i had to do every morning was walk about 4 quartos away from our house with 2 water jugs and fill them with this filtered water we had to pay for and we hiked it all they way back to our house and we would use that water and take our showers and do all our hygiene stuff and if we were lucky there would be enough to drink. but yesterday the pump was fixed and now we have some water back! hooray! this week i also finally convinced my comp to start running and we are exploring new parts everyday, its beautiful. and we also scout out the areas we are going to contact people!  this week we went to the tienda or store at the end of our street to teach this muchacho named jose who worked and lived there. but he is such an amazing guy, we read more of the book of Mormon with him and he is very open in learning more about the gospel. we also have this other family, sandra and her 4 little boys. they assisted church last week, and we taught her more about the restoration this week. Saturday at the end of the day it was really rough, it was really dark at night and the area that we were in we had no luck at all, i felt inspired to pray with my companion and i asked that we would find a family that need to hear about the gospel and that would be open to us. and right after that my companion told me to lead the way, and i led us about a block away and i was led to this one house that was hidden a little behind some trees with a little light, so i announced us that we were on there property by saying "buenas noches" (we dont knock on doors here and just clap close to their property or say buenas or hola) but after that out comes a father and his 7 year old daughter and we start to get to know them, they are such nice people and i gave the little girl a piece of candy because she was soo adorable, but after talking to them for a while, it turned out they are a family with 4 kids and they just had a recent death in their family and we told him a little bit about the plan of salvation and we set up another time to meet with them this week! its amazing that the lord can answer our prayers if we just simply ask in faith, its amazing what he can do, just by following my prompting and just a random house i would have never thought to choose. potente! well that's all i have for this week, NOS VEMOS! 

Mucho Amor
