A waterfall we went to today!

We waited on the curb for about an hour waiting for a bus that never came at night so we had to wake up at 5 30 today to go to the waterfall instead of staying over at our leaders house...

And our baptism!

este semana fue loco y no puedo pensar de un nombre para mi subjecto, entonces aqui esta...

Well first off I hope you guys understand that subject... I couldnt think of one but this week was crazy!  First off starting out on last p-day, after we wrote you guys we went to go on a hike up to this mountain that has the name of Rabinal on it. It would be kind of like hiking to the B or something, but this hike did not have any paths...  So we were walking through backyards... if you can even call them that...  and fields of grass that were as tall as us and then basically scaled a part of the mountain, and then we were about half way there...  so we kind of took a break because my comp was feeling a little lightheaded, and he thought that was weird, because he is a hiker, and this was super easy...  So during our break, he saw something on his leg and he went to hit it away, but it didnt leave.  Well it turns out that it was a tic.  So we ended our hike because I think that it was just sucking out his energy so we went back to our house to call the nurse to figure out how to get rid of it... Oh and by the way we named it Dick the tick...  I dont know if that is exactly appropriate but whatever...  So we went back to the house and called the nurse and the nurse said that we should just pull it out with tweezers and that it should come out and to call him if we had any questions...  and this is what we had always heard not to do... but we tried it and it wouldnt come out, so i burnt it with a match because that is what we thought would be best, and then we pulled it one more time and it came right out!  So that was quite the experience, and I am now officially a tic pulling out expert...  So if you have any questions, call me, maybe...  oh and my comp was ticked because he had a tic...  Just so you know we have about a million more puns about this tic...

Also on Wednesday we had the baptism for lili and my comp baptized her so that is his first baptism and that is super cool!!!!!!  It was great and her family which wasnt really interested came to her baptism and they also came to church for her confirmation!  So that was super exciting!  And also she is inviting  basically her whole neighborhood to come and learn with us!  So it is super exciting here right now!  So yeah this week was super crazy!  But super exciting!

Love you all!!!!

This is my family once again in the mission.  Starting with Elder Escobar on the left, who went back home this change, and ending with Elder Dibb who just got here this change!

This is one of the members plucking a chicken that she had just killed.  They dip it in boiling water to help take off the feathers...  It is a little disturbing to watch, but quite entertaining...

They decorated the street with Christmas decorations!!

Changes!!!!!!!

This week has been a little bit crazy with changes and everything!  But my new companion is Elder Dibb.  He is from Pleasant Grove!!  It is crazy!!  We hardly ever have gringo comps in the mission, but I do, and the other part is he is new!!!  So now I have to teach him spanish too, because he doesnt know any... So yeah it is pretty crazy right now!  But it is the best!!  Also with the changes and everything, we had a Christmas conference for all the missionaries in the zones closest to Coban the past thursday.  So from the Saturday, like 8 days ago, until last friday, I didnt sleep in my house in Rabinal.  It was crazy!  But this Christmas conference was the best.  We had a spiritual thought from Pres. Curtiss and his wife, then after we got to watch Monsters University!  It was great!  

So yeah like I said I didnt sleep in my house for like 6 days, so this week was a little bit slow, because we didnt have time to work very much, but the times that we had to work were great!  We have been working really hard as a companionship to first of all teach my comp spanish, and also to follow through on the dates for baptism that we have had.  So it has been pretty great!  

I cant believe that Christmas is next week!!!  Im so excited!!!  we have Activites and stuff planned for our ward, and so Im hoping that we will be able to strengthen our ward a ton through these activities, by showing the true meaning of Christmas!  It is all about Christ.  So my scripture for this week is in Luke 2.  I like this, because it is all about the birth of Christ!

Things are going great here!  Glad to hear things are going good back at home!  

Love Elder Stuart
