BOY do i love this work and BOY do i love my heavenly father for guiding us to these families!!!


family!! well this week was the week of the hour change, in which we all lost an hour of sleep. a lot of the people here in the village use this excuse for a lot of things! its pretty funny. "i wasnt able to read the chapter in the Book of Mormon because of the hour change". literally for which ever thing. its pretty funny actually. 
so this week when we went to the house of one our investigator families, the family Canul Ayil, we walked up to gustavo, a teenage of 14 years, talking to one of his friends. and it turns out earlier that week, gustavo shared a little bit with his friend about the restoration, of what we taught him the week before. and his friend Angel, another teenage of 16 years, was interested and wanted to hear more. he then joined us in the lesson and we talked about the gospel of Jesus christ and before we could finish, he asked us if he could be baptized. and we were soo excitted for him and we put a date with him the week after the baptism of this family. the next day we go to see Angel again in his house across the street from the family Canul Ayil and we talked with him and his mom joined us too and she accepted to be baptized too. i know that God literally put this family in our hands becasue he knew that they were all prepared. BOY do i love this work and BOY do i love my heavenly father for guiding us to these families. 
we did have zone conference this week in Ticul, we had to stay the night before in one of the houses of the misisonaries over their, and we had a pizza night. haha. its pretty much a misisonary tradition, when you have other missionaries over, you have to eat pizza! haha. the conference was great we made a lot of personal goals to accomplish our mission goals. at the end we all cut open this giant fruit to eat, this fruit was called a Yakah! it was super good!
And mom i did get my package this week. i found out that it was in the offices like last week and we never had time to go all the way to merida,and for the whole week i had to go thinking that it was soo close but not quite in my hands yet! haha. but WOW do you know me! all my favorite goodies. you are the best mom ever!! haha. maybe ill send you some snake skin, i remember how much you love that stuff, looking back on the experiences of the snake skin from justins mission that i always played with in front of you, hahaha. jk love you!
