"Now I have a grand testimony of the Holy Ghost" March 24, 2014

 HEY!! This week was super great. We put 2 dates for baptism!! One with a 66 year old guy named Juan and another with like a 58 year old dude named Nelson!

But awesome story with Juan! We planned to contact his house after an appointment in this place called La Planta. La Planta is like 30 minutes away from Nahuizalco and this guys house is right in between, so we just planned to contact his house on the way back. But we got super lucky and a ride passed by, so we hopped in the back of a truck. so as we were passing his house my comp asked me if we should stop and contact him and I said, "no we have the ride, we will a different day". So we kept going... but then as we got farther away I just felt so bad like we had to go back, so I went and tapped the roof of the truck to notify the driver we want to get off. My comp was kinda bothered with me but I told him we need to go back, so we walked like 5 minutes back to this house. We walked in and started yelling "buenas" (that's what you yell when you get to a house) this guy left and his face just lit up. He ran over to us and was super excited. He told us he was having a down day but the instant he saw us he felt a joy. I started to get tears in my eyes as he told us this, and him too. we thanked him and put an appointment with him. He went to church yesterday and then we put a date for his baptism after church. He was so prepared for us. To be honest it was one of the first times I had actually felt the guide of the spirit in my life. Now I have a grand testimony of the Holy Ghost and that the Holy Ghost gives you second chances!

"This week was super great." March 17, 2014

This week was super great. I was with Elder Peru all week, he's so cool. He's my favorite, he's a white guy from Thatcher, Arizona.  He is a convert of three years.  My comp is with Elder Peru's comp in Santa Ana because he's sick. But something that's cool, we brought 6 people to church, and 5 in Elder Peru's area so together we had 11, and so we have tons of potential. We had a conference for all of Central America, we heard from Richard G Scott and Dallin H Oaks and a 70 and some lady talked via satellite, but it was so good. It was kinda cool cause in the conference they made a reference to President Cordon, he's so cool.

But Monday I had to go to Santa Ana and we were waiting out in front of a random pharmacy and all the sudden a couple of my converts passed by in a car and pulled over and ran up to me. It was so good to see them, but they are moving to the states in June! They are moving to Washington DC, so that's cool. [He's going to Santa Ana again today to get his skin checked out by a Dr. to see what's biting him, but he assures me he's fine, just itchy!]

Also like my favorite Elder ever Elder Muti is going home Wednesday.... I'm so bummed, but he's so awesome. You guys gotta invite him over to eat or something. He can tell you all about tons of experiences we've had. I was with him for 5 months so we're real close! Anyways everything is good, I love the mission.

"Cool news I might have fleas or like bed bugs. My stomach and back got owned." March 10, 2014

This week was good. I got your package and the book of our family is so awesome!! I love it! Thanks! Also we're having a great time in the mission, time is going by so fast. Like every one of our investigators dropped us this week so that was a little disappointing but its fine, we just gotta find more news!!

Cool news I might have fleas or like bed bugs. My stomach and back got owned haha. But I'm fine, it just itches.

 

We had 3 investigators in church, hopefully we can baptize them soon.

They had elections again yesterday and it was so cool haha. We were walking down the street and the two big parties are Arena and fmln. fmln was in like a big pick up and had like 25 people in the back of it, and they pulled up in front of the Arena building and started honking and they had air horns and stuff. Then, the Arena people ran out with bags of water and just started pegging them with the water bags haha it was so awesome. The elections here are so much cooler than the states.

That's pretty much it! I love my mission and my family!
