I have bad news this week!! Tomorrow we have Changes and I leaving my area!! I was a little sad but I'm excited to see who is my next companion tomorrow!! Yesterday and today, I will be saying goodbye to everyone in my area Sipacate. O well time to move on!! Hopefully I dont go to a cold area. I like the coast area!! So this week Steven didnt get baptized either, we decided to drop him cause his mom does not want me to believe in this church. It made me a little mad but I know its not his time yet. The super Pilas thing that happen this week is. We found a family that we are teaching. They have no kids yet. They are not married yet. His Name is Daniel and her name is Igrrel. Daniel is married to another women and they need to go through that progress, so Daniel can get married to Igrrel! Something really cool about Daniel he was in the Guatemala Army!! He told us some crazy stories!! Igrrel is a nurse!! When both were kids they went to The Church of Jesucristo De Los Santos De Los Ultimos Dias as kid. They never got baptized tho! On Sunday they came to church, everyone welcomed them, all the members were so nice with them!! Daniel and Igrrel decided to come to church every week and they will get baptize as soon as they can get married! I hate Daniel´s job cause it starts next and week and they work everyday for 6 months straght. He works in the factory that makes sugar. He cuts down the plaint that the sugar is made from!! Thats my week!! Next week I will have pictures of my new camponion! Love you all

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Be yourself always, love everyone, help others, be more like Christ. Bring people to his true Gospel I love you all
