Hey!
Last week of the change, over! The change call comes today. I am 99% I am staying, which is a bonus, but I'm also 99% sure that most of my friends in the zone are leaving. Its lame! But that's the mission I guess. There are always new people to meet, and friends to make.
We had an awesome week this week to finish off the change! We found five new families! It was way exciting. We are still having a tough time getting people to church, but the Mendez family said they can go this week, and hopefully the new ones will as well, as they continue to read the Book of Mormon. We are grateful for the success we've had, and hope these families will grow closer to the waters of baptism. :)
This week was also the Zone Leader Council. SOOOOO awesome! We started out at the mission offices--we had a big meeting and each companionship presented ideas for the new year, what we can improve. It was awesome. And even President and the assistants had presentations to give, but President said he liked the discussion so much, they decided to save them for another day. Afterwards, we went to the mission home. Amazing! Sis. Baldwin made us dinner, and we had an FHE (dad injects FHE = family home evening, mormon tradition) with games and dessert. Way fun. Then we all went back to the CCM! (dad injects CCM = the central america training area for mormon missionaries) Oh goodness it was so cool being back. They had us stay in the guest center. I really loved my time at the CCM and it was cool to reminisce on it. The next day, we went to the temple. I know Dad is the only one who will really appreciate this, but I love the temple. Jerm, Alex, Lanie, Im excited to be able to go with you guys someday. This was the first time I had been since Mom passed away. I really did feel like she was there with me. Im excited for the day we can all go together, when we are all together again. :) Afterwards we got McD's for lunch (I cant remember if I told you. The McDonalds here are AMAZING. They are like 5 star restaurants! For sers.) Then we headed home. But all in all it was a really powerful experience. I learned a lot. And my testimony continues to grow in ways I hadnt expected.
tyler to the following-
Lanie: You know what sometimes makes me sad about Guatemala? Nobody reads, not many people watch movies, and even so, nobody ever discusses them like we do in English. Be grateful to be blessed with such a wonderful language! :)
Jerm--Mr MG! Way cool. Also, this Xbox thing sounds crazy and fun. I cant wait. It sounds like it is best played outside.
Dad--we have sister missionaries??? Ok heres the crazy story. I have a friend that I met at BYU, and she lives in CA, and just got her mission call--to Richmond VA! She could totally serve in our ward! Way cool. We depend so much on members down here--its a blessing to know that you are doing the same up there. :)
Im on my 11th change in the mission now. Weird!
Till the next,
Tyler
