Week 3

Gee wiz. i cant seem to figure this email thing out, but its kinda funny.


Well, so this week has been nuts. All of the Latino elders left the CCM today, and more (and north americans) are coming tomorrow. My spanish is getting way better, just speaking it all day. And im really hittin the books, ive probaly never studied this hard for anything. Actuall, i never really stuided anything so yeah. This is great, I always hear about those dudes who come back knowing how to study, and i thought that was dumb. But, now i get what they mean.


Sunday, I didnt get called to speak, my companion did actually, His spanish skills are improving, but there were people correcting him up there the whole time (a sister ended up asking for his email and, he didnt know what she was saying so he just said gracias, but then she gave it to him. All cause he stumbled over some words in sacrament) Classic Elder Nelson LOL and then we sang I need the every hour as well.


Today has been so cool, We went to the temple at like seven in the morning. Then we got to get out of the CCM to go to the city centre. We went to a cathedral and that was cool, it supposed to be the second oldest one in guatemala. It was beautiful. Then we handed out Book of Mormons (or books of mormons.) and it was super cool, elder Nelson and I are super bad at spanish, but we said a quick prayer and got to work, we were walking around and saw this man just chillin, so we were like, ¿Cómo esta? and then we got to talking about religion and he was very interested, we gave him a book and he wanted more info about our church so we gone hook him up with the elders down here.
Next guy, was a father chillin with his son, and he was just lovin the idea of the gospel blessing families and more scripture about the americas and christ. So hes gonna meet up with some elders as well. Its incredible how much these people want to know more about christ, and his gospel. And though my spanish is broke, I know that I had a little extra help today from The Lord so I could preach about the LDM.


Funny story, we went to a market and they had all kinds of things. All kinds of meet hanging with flies all over. and crazy people selling stuff. But the craziest thing was this man come up to us and start talking And i know he is just super drunk, but you cant not shake someones had thats rude man. So i asked his name and showed me his tattoo of his name. So i said mucho gusto George, he, some how, found a way to get the words out of his mouth, said mucho gusto. and gave me a nice wet smooch on the hand. thats about it.


Love yall.
