hola hola!
this week was great we were just pretty much treking to huehue every other day so the work was slow. but this week we had a zone conference with president duncan of the 70. im pretty sure he is the president of the area central america. it was really coooool and just like last time we had a zone conference i got to give the opening prayer. im starting to not like the fact that they know my name jaja. but it was super good and they gave us a christmas dinner at the intermission and a gift at the end that is super cool! a plack with the xela temple and a quetzal bird! the conference was a lot about having converts and not just baptizing because this year in central america 22000 baptized but active and assisting still there are 2500. and that is just depressing. gave us lots to think about
our branch had a baptism and a christmas party this week! the branch president did a good job buying prizes for the games and i ate grapes for the first time in probably over a year because i havent eaten any here! its crazy that this week i will be completing one year in the mission. i cant even believe it. i feel like i still have 7 months! times goes fast when your having fun for reals. today we had a party as a zone because we cant get together on christmas how sad. plus the buses wont be running from malacas to huehue..we are stranded out in the middle of no where pretty much. this week we also went caroling witht the elders and it was super fun but we realized how hard it is to keep a straight face with these elders because they are just like garrick! when one starts giggling i loose it. but the members love when we come sing to them. and we actually contacted some people too caroling. this tuesday we are going to the central park to sing with all the other missionaries and weve been practicing all week. and also our gift exchange as a zone before. fun week ahead especially because i get to talk to my family on christmas eve! wooohooo. not sure what we will do christmas because all of guatemala sleeps from staying up till midnight or later on chirstmas eve! maybe we will go machete the grass around the church to make a soccer field for the yout
well i hope you all have a great week and a very merry christmas! feliz navidad y con mucho amor
