Week 47

Hey everyone, hows it going? We (Elder Agustin and I) and a heck of a week. it was a blast. My new comp is cool and weve been working super hard finding good people to teach.


Firstly, My new comp is named Elder Agustin, Hes from Quiche Guat. cool dude, reminds me a little of josh gad haha. But hes a small little chapin and hes dying. so hes gotta ton of expirence. We go running everyday, and today we went and summited a mountian.


So this week we had a lesson with a gal named wendy. Shes a reference of a lees active lady. Gloria Carcamo. We retaught lession 1 and asked her to pray about it, (shes a little slow and doesnt know how to read too well so thats why we taught again.) and she said, "I already did pray, i feel good so Ill keep listening to yall." and she wants to be baptised. Cool little miracle.


We also fasted this week, cause we have a lot of people who wanna be baptised and they have some problem that keeps them form being baptised. Like our investigator, Maria.(Grandma of ryan) The lady has been to church more in the past 2 months that the bishop has. And all she wants is a calling and to serve in the church. So to do so she oughtta get baptised. but she cant cause her husband Selso doesnt wanna get married. or go to church. So this sunday he camse to church. outta no where. and I asked maria how she got him to go. and she said that she got mad. and said come to church or leave. she ironed clothes for hime at 5 am so there would be no excueses and he coplained the whole way there. but he ended up liking it. whatta good little miracle. so were gonna get them married too. So stoked that he came to church maria was so happy.


Oh we also found a lady named Vilma and her husband named Jose or something,. and theyre good. They go to a different church. but they were very interested in the way that we explained everything. They said that the missionaries before left them with a lot of doubts like taht we worship Jose Smith and the book of mormon (we dont lol) and they were interested in the fact that we claim to have the autoridad of God just like the prophets in the bible.


Also this week i have been feeling the need to imporve. My comp has got a ton of expirence. And i feel like i just havent been doing the best i can do at teaching. He told me just to listen. Its funny, my dad has told me that probably my whole life. And then it just ckilcked, I just started listening. And oh man., im getting better. Im still a little awkward missionary. but improving at teaching with the spirit and listining to him. good stuff. we had a lesson where i just started talking, said what ever came out. and this lady we had contacted said, "i liked what you said" and she totally understood me, exactly how i would have hoped.


I love being a missionary, and a belliever in Christ. Its really awesome. I feel like theres so much more hope for those who choose to believe in Christ. Thats also something else i have learned, that we really choose to believe in Jesus. Its really a choice to be faithful or not.


Hope everything is going well. Pray for us here in the huracanes.


love yall


Elder Owen
