JUNE 22, 2016---DAY OF MIRACLES, FINALLY CHANGED AREAS, WEIRDEST CHAPIN FOOD I'VE HAD

JUNE 22, 2016

DAY OF MIRACLES
This was a good week for me and Elder Lozano.  On our last Sunday together, we baptized a couple that are super cool. 

FINALLY CHANGED AREAS

I finally changed areas after 7 months in Linda Vista.  I'm now on the coast. Escuintla, Guatemala.  Always sweating, man, pretty crae crae, ha.  I'm looking forward to losing some weight.  

WEIRDEST CHAPIN FOOD I'VE HAD

Also drank this drink made out of vinegar that I guess is popular, ha ha.  Weirdest chapin (Guatemalan) food I've had, man. 

Love you all so much!

JUNE 12, 2016---ELDER LOZANO AKA THE ZOMBIE, WE FOUND HIM, THE BLESSED FARM

JUNE 12, 2016

ELDER LOZANO AKA THE ZOMBIE
Quick funny story. Elder Lozano and I were contacting and we saw this like teen jogging towards us and I was like,  "Elder Lozano, you won't pretend to be a zombie to this person," and he's like,  "I'm going to."  So, he like walks towards like groaning and stuff and she screams and starts running away, ha ha ha, super funny. But he did it. 

WE FOUND HIM
We also found a convert that I never could find, for the life of me. But went with Elder Lozano and we found him.  He stopped his work to go to church and everything so he is reactivating which is super cool. 

THE BLESSED FARM
The bendito granja (blessed farm) did us some good, huh? Aha.  (Referring to him and his brothers being known for hard workers.)  One thing I have learned is to be more focused and to have the spirit.  We sing hymns before we have study and that helps me a lot.

Zona mas calidad (the more quality zone) ha ha, con Pres y Hermana Markham.

JUNE 7, 2016---A BLESSING, ALWAYS TESTIFY, THE FLY THAT HAD BEEN BUGGING ME

JUNE 7, 2016

A BLESSING
It's truly a blessing that I was born in this family.  I love you all so much. 

ALWAYS TESTIFY
It's super important in the mission to always testify. Just got to activate the inactive ones and baptize, too.  Our baptism of a family fell through, cuz the wife had her baby.  We are doing great. Need to do more service, I think, for Him, ha. 

THE FLY THAT HAD BEEN BUGGING ME
So, funny short story. We were studying and I saw this fly that had been bugging me for a while so I decided to send it to the next world...lovingly ha ha. I opened up the curtains and this lady was walking by but I had to take my opportunity and so I start swinging my agenda like mad trying to get it (the fly) by smacking the window and stuff. I finally get it and look (out the window) and the lady walking by is just like super surprised and like freaked out, ha ha. 

Love the fam!

MAY 31, 2016---BE MORE LIKE CHRIST, TEACHING MY COMPANION ENGLISH, PERSONAL STUDY

MAY 31, 2016

I was trying to get swole, but the paparazzi found me real quick, ha ha, JK.

Found us a lizard.

BE MORE LIKE CHRIST
Yesterday, Elder Lozano was telling me about how we came on the mission to change and be more like Christ.  We will experience the slightest of what he walked. we will be persecuted, mocked, etc. but we need to try and be more like him. Everything is great we are working hard I'm learning from my companion and we have great unity.  

TEACHING MY COMPANION ENGLISH
I'm teaching my companion English and he will help me when I'm speaking.  We read a chapter in the LDM each night after planning, so that's helping me, too, especially when I'm super tired, ha ha AKA, everyday, ha ha.

PERSONAL STUDY
One thing I learned this past week is that for personal study we should have a question in mind and then when we are studying will will receive revelation.  Ha, its pretty cool.  Love you all sooo much!
