July 12

We had interviews with President but my companion had to go to the capital something going on with his visa and we missed the interviews but thats ok. This week was really fun. The Ward is working on a plan. A new way to work with the Converts and less active and Investagores. So we have been helping the Ward start going on the plan to read the book of Mormon with the Converts, Less actives, and Investagores. Thats getting us excited. We also found a family of 7. There how is huge because 35 people live in that house. We have not got the chances to speak to all of 35 just 7 of them. The Work here is growing. Today in the district meeting we spoke about the Faith.

How is your faith? What are you doing to grow your Faith? How are you acting upon your Faith?

Three single question that we need to answer and if we are not doing it well repent and act on our faith. We cant see miracles unless we are acting on our faith.

This week has been so fun!!! Time is going by to fast!!!! It needs to slow down a Little!!!

This week in the promisión. We have found a lot of new childrens of Heavenly Father to teach!!! Elder Bados  and I have been feeling the spirit really strong these last couple of days!! That a feeling!! He is a great companion!!!

The Atonement of Jesús Christ has changed my life. I know that the Atonement is real and it Works will all of us. When we do a change of heart, we feel closer to Heavenly Father thats because of Jesús Christ. Jesús is my Hero. Each day goes by to fast and sometimes I want it to slow down but really the days go by because I have learned to apply the Atonement in my life everyday. In Alma 7:11 say that Jesús Christ will take away our pains. Sometimes I feel sad of choice of others and how the world is but  I remember who I am and who has saved me from the bad things then my pain goes way!! Im truely graceful of Jesús Christ. Look never in my life thought I would be a missionary. Look where Im at. Guatemala serving a misión and feeling the love of God. My life has changed because of the Atonement. If life is hard and things are not going how we want it to go. get closer to Heavenly Father and life will be get better!!!

Love you guys!!

Antigua as a pday of zone yesterday.

Yesterday we went to Antigua and I got to see some people and say goodbye. It was really cool to see Antigua again.

Miracles of the week. On sunday a less active family came to church and the mom came up to us and told us "Elderes I need you guys to baptize my daugther soon". So Rosalyn is getting baptized on the 26th. Same day a other less active family came to church but this family has two sons and the older son records are lost. So we need to baptized him again on the 26th. Same cool miracles and I can tell that the Lord is sending his angels down to our área and preparing people to come unto him!! Im a Little worried about something but I know with pray that will help me but I love promisión is a very blessed área!!! I have some pictures of Antigua for you guys.. Love you all!!

This week had been really awesome. We are teaching a member less-active and her daughters Her name is Maricela and she a cool mom. We were preparing her daugther to get baptized. At first was a Little hard. One night we get a call from President Markham asking us something about them. I dont remember but He told us, he would come to visit them with us. Friday came and we went to pick him up at the stake center in Villa Nueva and we found him eating food. He got us some food too!! When we got to the house of Maricela. She was there and two of her daugthers Lindsey and Emily. I dont know how to explain that visit but it was the most spiritual visit we had. Maricela knew the importantces of getting her daugthers baptized!! So we finished at night and baptism date set!! The next day was the interviews and she couldnt make it!! I was starting to be upset. Sunday morning we had the interviews and after church. We baptized them. Yesterday we went to visit them and they were really happy and Maricela is happier with all her problems but she is one happy mom!!! That was my week and I love it!!!

Crazy week!! A lot of work was done!! Three days in a row of just division!! Great time to work with all the Elderes of the zone and my leaders!!! Something really awesome a learned was the importance of the Book of Mormon!!! Anyone that is investaging the church needs to know if this book is true!!! Main Goal is that people need to know the Book of Mormon is true!! I invite you guys to read and give a book of Mormon away this week but be clear on how you explain the book!! The most importante thing is dont have fear when you do it!! Your helping blessing someone else live and someday they will give thanks for your sharing the gosple!! Love ya guys
