Chapter 52: I ate a lot of tacos (mejicanos)

July 08, 2019

Hey guys!! It's been a fun week! Mexican tacos: Hermano Trochez (the fattest man I've ever seen in my life who lives downstairs from us - also the owner of our apartment - also one of my favorite ward members here) made us mexican tacos to celebrate that I hit 1 year on the mission last Thursday!! My companion ate 3, I ate 10, and good ol' Trochez ate 24! It was a good night. Roberto and his first talk: Remember Roberto, who we baptized a few weeks ago? He went to the temple last Saturday with the youth and did baptisms! In fact he did the baptizing! I love this kid. Then he was assigned to give a short talk along with other youth who went and spoke about his experience! Man, this kid's the best ever. Ivan: So our homeboy Ivan is back on date to get baptized THIS SATURDAY. That is, if the mom decides to sign the baptism record this time... We have high hopes, this kid has come a long way to where he is now. One year got me feelin a certain kind...

Chapter 33: Stake Conference

March 04, 2019

Locking my companion in the bathroom. Hey guys! I had a pretty eventful week! Last week as Elder Chinchilla and I did our weekly planning we realized we didn't have a whole lot of progressing investigators... and that made us sad. So we determined that we were going to work hard and focus on teaching people who are truly ready to receive the Gospel. And it worked! On Tuesday our zone leaders were kind enough to sacrifice a few hours of work in their area to do divisions with us to help us find new people and teach a few investigators that were having some difficulties. We started the day with just 1 person with a baptismal date and ended with 3! Elder Chinchilla and Elder Sullivan (our zone leader) went and taught a couple we had contacted a couple weeks ago and they said they had been waiting for us to come back and share more! After teaching the Restoration, they accepted the invitation to be baptized and are on date for April! (they've got to get married fi...

Chapter 1

July 08, 2018

Hello everyone!! I've just finished my first week here at the CCM de Guatemala! Its been a lot of fun but also a lot of work and stress. After flying all night to get here, we were put straight to work with checking in, verifying immunizations, unpacking, and then we had an hour to nap before our first classes started. It was crazy and everyone was exhausted but whatever, we have time to sleep when we go home in two years . The MTC here is really small (just over 100 missionaries total) and we are the biggest group of missionaries ever to enter the MTC at once. My district (The 'intermediate' district) is the smallest here though, just 10 of us who have taken Spanish classes but aren't quite fluent, especially in Gospel vocabulary. Our second day (Thursday) we went to the Guatemala temple and it is so pretty! It provided a much-needed familiar and spiritual experience and really put a lot of the elders here at ease, especially because we did everything in Eng...
