Here we go again!

Well this week was a good week... the only thing is that we werent able to pull the baptism of Agusto together, because he said that he would like to go about 2 or 3 more times to church to get to know more... but he is still dying with the desire to get baptized, but he decided that it would be better to change a little bit more, to become more like Christ before he was baptized.  So I guess that is a good thing... but we were a little disappointed, but whatever right... these people do have their agency.  

But as for the other parts of the week... it was a pretty good week.  I was able to figure out today also that Douglas (an investigator that I had from Los Campos) was baptized!  So that was pretty cool!  And also that another family of four that I had in Los Campos that I didnt really talk about to you guys, because they werent too interested when I was there, were also baptized!  So that is all great!  

As for my companion we are getting along super well right now.  All last change and for the first two weeks of this change we did not get along... but now we are great friends!  So that is all going good... we are actually super sad, because we think that I am going to have a change this saturday and that I might not be staying here, so we wont be together anymore... so that kind of sucks... but well we will get through it.

So yeah over all, it is going good my life as a missionary...and I am a happy guy..

Love Elder stuart...

Changes

This week we received our changes and I am finally leaving my area to go to an area named La Libertad in Peten... So I am excited to go there and I am going to have a gringo companion named Elder Loveland... so that will be interesting... It will be my third companion that doesnt have spanish as a native language...  So that is pretty  interesting!  So I am super excited for that!  I have heard many good things about him.

But this week was kind of a bummer, but also super good... We didnt end up baptizing douglas, because on thursday he had a lot of doubts and he did have the desire to get baptized still but we told him that he couldnt... we felt that it would be better if he waited until he had a little bit stronger of a testimony... which was hard for me because that meant that I wasnt going to be there for his baptism...  But I did learn that it is best to do what is best for them and not for me, so Ill be excited to hear about his progress throughout the weeks that I wont be there, but he is going to get baptized in like 3 weeks... 

But we had a pretty good week because one of our investigators, named Daniela, We had been teaching her for about 3 months back in like march, but then in late may early june, her dad called, who lives in a different part of Guatemala, and said that she couldnt listen to us anymore... so we stopped teaching her, because we didnt want her dad to get mad... But then a week ago she came to church out of the blue... so we were a little bit surprised by that, so we started to teach her again this past week and she is super excited to get baptized... she said that it doesnt matter what her dad says, that she knows this church is true and that she wants to follow god, not her dad... So that was super good and this week (yesterday) she came to church alone again, even though it was raining and she had to walk 10 minutes!  So that was super good, so my companion will be baptizing her this next 6 weeks!

So things are going pretty good over here!  I am a little bit sad to leave my area because I had some close relations with the people there, and so im going to miss them, but I am super excited for the next area!  I am happy to have a new start again, looking in new places for people to teach about the gospel!  So I am super excited for that!

Hasta pronto...

Love Elder Stuart
