April 25, 2017---AWESOME, CLASSIC, BOOK-SMARTS, FROSTED FLAKES, ADVENTURE, SURPRISE

Bautimso de Hermanita Amanda!

AWESOME

Aw they baptism was awesome. The whole family came for the baptism of Hermanita Amanda.  It was a great service and there was a lot of people there so we really enjoyed it.  It was also awesome cuz Elder Brown and I were able to baptize together, haha.  We were so pumped and are going to keep working and looking for more people to help. 

CLASSIC

Classic foto haha when were put as companions at changes, haha.

BOOK-SMARTS

I feel like some people maybe know more then I do in the scriptures but I feel like it's not all book-smarts, the gospel that is.  We have to have a testimony or what is the point and we have to understand what the scriptures say cuz lots of times the scriptures are misinterpreted, but that's why we got to ask God. 

FROSTED FLAKES

Frosted Flakes, they'reeeeee grrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaattttt for champions, hahaha JK. 

ADVENTURE

We have been running all over the place trying to help the Zone out so that's always an adventure, haha. I'm learning lots of stuff everyday. Love you all.

April 16, 2017---GYM BUDDY, HOLY WEEK, "YES! WE STILL BELIEVE"

April 16, 2017

GYM BUDDY
It's (Villa Nueva) a lot different then Patzicia. There is almost no typico (typical) clothing like corte (cut) here so I'm trying to get used to that, haha.  Being companions with Elder Brown is great.  We always keep ourselves pumped and stuff and that's great.  And I now have a gym buddy.

We have a sister that is going to get baptized this week.

HOLY WEEK
Well I totally forgot it was Easter.  They do Semana Santa (Holy Week) here but I didn't even think about Easter, haha.  I guess I was lost in the work, hahaha, JK, JK.

"YES!  WE STILL BELIEVE"
Something that happened was that we had a sister that we taught once that the next time we came she had like a talk prepared for us to try and disprove everything we taught and believed.  It was funny and comforting when she asked us at the and if we still believed and without stuttering Elder Brown and I both said, "Yes."  Her face was like, IDK, a look of surprise and awe cuz she wanted to convince us with a bunch of scriptures and stuff.  But when she was talking I just held onto my feelings and experiences I've had through the gospel.  I'm very grateful for these experiences and for the gospel. We have to keep a strong testimony and strengthen it always.

April 12, 2017---NEW COMPANION:ELDER BROWN, NEW AREA:VILLA NUEVA, NEW PHOTO:GREAT FRIENDS

April 12, 2017

NEW COMPANION---ELDER BROWN
Yeah, this week was pretty good.  I'm super excited cuz I'm now companions with Elder Brown.  He was the 1st person I talked to in the airport on the way to Guatemala.  It's a blast and we have a bunch of goals and stuff and are going to work hard to find miracles.

NEW AREA---VILLA NUEVA
So I'm now in Villa Nueva somewhat close to my 1st area but a different zone. I 'm in the capital.   I'm now in a place that is pretty warm so that is a nice change but now I'm sick because of the change of climate, haha, a little bit of a cold but it's a blessing.

APRIL 4, 2017---NOT READY, A BETTER HOMBRE, TIME IS RUNNING, HAIRCUT BY COMPANION, I KNOW MY MUSCLE WILL GROW AGAIN, LAKE ATITLAN

April 4, 2017

NOT READY
He (our investigator we have been teaching) is doing well and still doesn't feel ready to get baptized, but poco poco. 

A BETTER HOMBRE
Well one thing that I'm really learning is the atonement to apply it more in my life. It's easy to get down on yourself when there is not a lot of progress in the moment but it's like you said, "builds character."  I'm really learning about things that I need to change to be a better missionary and hombre (man). 

TIME IS RUNNING
The conference was great and I learned a lot, got answers to my questions, and received lots of revelation. General Conference always passes by faster and faster and time just goes running.
