This last week was CRAZY. Somethings happen and some miricales happen. Sunday one of the members brought her sister to church and her name is Magdelina and her two daughters Susley and Andrea. After church we went to visit them. Magdelina told us her story. She was Cathilic before. Her husband left her and the family for another women But he has done this for many years then just comes back to her. This time he is gone for good. During the lesson She started to cry and I have no idea what to do. So I didnt do nothing haha. The great thing about it, Her and her daughters agreed to be baptized on the 26th of this month. Susely the Daughter is weird. I feel so uncomferable teaching her.  Andrea is so Pilas. She loves to read the book of Mormon. I love visiting them. Steven hasnt got baptized yet. We need a miricle to happen with him and his familly. I know that he is ready and hopefully this sunday is his baptism. We are also visiting one of our converts mom and brother. The mom is Consuelo and the brother his name is Carlos and he is 19 years old. Carlos has a girlfriend that we are teaching also her name is Victoria and she is 14 years old. They are planning to get marry...... Guatemala is a little crazy. They are doing great tho. We need them to come to church. My mission president said we need to have 400 baptisms as a mission in Novemeber. So every companionship needs to baptize at least 3 or 4 people. My area is one of the hardest in the mission but I know we will have 4 baptisms. I have faith on that and we will get our 400 baptisms for Novemeber. 

I would love if you guys can pray for my Family, Steven, Magdelina, Susely, Andrea, Consuelo, Carlos, and Victoria. They are our next bothers and sisters to come unto Christ!!!!!!! thats my week.  Love you guys all have a great week Love you guys Elder Vega

I will start out with conference wasnt it just amazing. I got to see it in English!!!!!!!! Its so much cooler when you can hear their real voices. The sad thing about this week Steven did not get baptized. his mom wont let him yet. We have not given up yet. last night we had a lesson about temples and that this is the only church in the whole world that can do baptisms for the die. She was so excited. After the lesson She asked us, what scriptures can I read about baptisms for the dead. I have a great feelings She will let Steven get baptized next week.. Keep him in your prayers. We are also teaching Jessica´s mom her name is Consuelo and she is really prepared but she cant read. Jessica is going to read with her everyday. The rest of my week is been working really hard!!!!!!!!!!! 

I love the mission even tho that conference made me a home sick but I wont leave this place till I'm done doing that the Lord commands. 

I hope everyone has a great week and I love you all!!!!!!!!!!

Another wonderful week full of blessings and love. Jessica got married on Thursday and something weird. Shes 16 years old and shes married. I thought it was really weird but I'm so happy that she is following the steps of Jesus Christ. Her mother in law is so Pilas and she changed and is really working in the missionary work. I seen a huge change in my branch. Everyone is so excited to do missionary work. I dont know how it happen but They are working really hard with us. This week in Church there was 48 people. Thats really huge. The last time Rama Sipacate had over 40 people at church was about 6 months ago. Im so happy. Last Tuesday I had dividion with the zona leaders. Elder Ward is from Idaho and something really awesome about him and his family. They own a ranch up in Idaho and They go to every farm to buy the bulls. Elder Ward knews The Dairy farms in West Weber. His family buys the bulls from Ron Gibson, Rex Hancock, and Blair Hancock. I thought it was cool to know that. Elder Ward finishes his mission next week. By the Way next Week is changes. I want to ask you guys if you guys can pray for Steven Zelaya. He wants to get baptize but this parents want him to wait till his 18 and thats to long to wait. I love you guys all.. Guess what my feet are so much better now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday was indenpendia day in Guatemala its more crazy then the 4th of July but something really bad and sad happen saturday. A bus of 70 people crash and some died and everyone else is really hurt. The people in the bus are from my area. yesterday our new investagors were all from that crash. They are all looking for God now cause he gave them a second change. I know that yesterday all our new investagors want to change. Sometimes it takes some bad to get others to change.

Our branch has not had a baptize for 2 months and this month we will have at least two more. I feel so blessed to be in my area. We have great people here. I wish the members of the branch would help out more but they are too lazy. There is lots of lazy people here. Some people make fun of us alot but it doesnt bug me.

This sunday was the best. We had three baptisms. The holy ghost has a very strong testimony. I got to baptize one of the kids. It was a blessing to find this family. I knew it would be so great. I will be sending pictures in the end of this email. The last couple of days its been hard to find new investagors cause no one wants to listen to us. They all think there church is true. I know We are in the true church of God. I been getting better at teaching. Im learning lots of scriptures. Its a blessing. I love the members of the branch. They help so what. I wish they would do some missionary work and help us out with our investagors we had. Our goal of my area is to get 5 baptisms we got three already. We set lots of goals. goal of area, distract, zona, and mission. We are very good at keeping our goals. My testimony has growed so much in this month. I cant believe i been out for a month already. Time flys when your working hard. Sorry to say this but im not home sick yet. I have been sick this week but not home sick. I hope everyone is doing great. Let me know how Utah is. Guatemala is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can tell that im changing already. Love you all. Can someone tell my mom.
