ín yál bil´'t mech!!! thats another way to say i love you in maya!
because les amos a todos! boy do i love this work so much with all my
heart! let me just start off by apologizing for now writing last week, i
had some other things i had to take care of! but yes! we have made it
through the whole first week of this transfer with my new companion in
which i love this guy! in our house, our house is still a house of 4
missionaries! this week. every morning we have to all try to shower
which are freezing cold in the mornings, eat breakfast, get ready, in
one hour! its sometimes crazy in the mornings! haha. i started to notice
this week about the dreams i have been having, first of all i realized
the the majority of my dreams are finally in spanish! and 2nd of all,
they are all about contacting people and sharing the gospel, cant
complain about that, i had a dream of an old investigator in the church i
was so happy, only to wake up that it didnt happen! :(
this week we have continued visiting one of our investigators named freddy. he is 26 and he is such an amazing guy, he understands soo much from the book of mormon, and we can feel the spirit so strongly in the lessons with him, but its just hard getting him to come to church because he is always in a pueblo where his family lives on the weekends, but we are slowly progressing with him! this week we also found a family while looking for this reference that we recieved. but we came across this giant family, that was soo giant i dont even remember how many people live in that house. but we had a lesson with the mom Mari and her daughter, Laura and her 5 kids. the youngest ones are 3 year old twins that are just soo adorable, and the other 3 are so energetic! turns out they took lessons from the missionaries about 18 years ago when laura was still a teenager, and they told us about their experiences with them, we also had the opportunity to share a little bit about our lives with them and talk about eternal families.
one day this week we had the opportunity to eat with these members, and we literally ate sooo much fish!! im not the best fan of fish but i ate it, and she literally brought us every different way you could eat fish, fish soup, shrimp, a full friend fish in which i ate eyeballs which are pretty interesting. but i got full of so much fish that i didnt want to see any more fish for the rest of the month. after we found out that us 4 missionaries were also scheduled on accident to eat with some other members, in which already prepped the food, so we had to go over there too because they were waiting for us, we got there only to find out, well lets just say im not watching finding nemo in a long time! haha
we also went to the house of this family of members who are passing through a tough time in their life, and they are having so many difficulties in theirs lives, they got robbed of soo many things, their mom got diagnosed with this infection and she cant leave the house, just many aweful things happening all in one week. we had the chance to share with them a video from the church website, called mountains to climb (https://www.lds.org/media-
every trial that i had in my own life, or bad experience, i wouldnt have changed, because i wouldnt have the knowledge that i have know of how to overcome that challenge and how much it built me spiritually. the love that i have for my heavenly father and jesus christ is so much there isnt even a word for it! i am so greatful for the restored gospel of jesus christ on the earth and i know for a fact that every single part of it is true. i would not be here walking a billion hills everyday, sweating like crazy, carrying a heavy bag with like 5 copies of the most correct book on this earth(book of mormon) if i didnt know it to be true. i know our heavenly father loves us and that we are not on this earth to fail, but to learn, to grow and become just like him! i know that we all can return to live in his presence! i just want to share my love for the gospel, the missionary work, for my savior jesus christ and for all of you. member or not, if you have not read the book of mormon, i suggest you to read it, if you already have, read it again and find something new. pues tengo que irme, pero les amo mucho y les hable la semana siguente!
