Me and Elder Lomeu in the rain, Im not sure how well you can see the rain, but it was raining that hard since thursday until last night, with only like 3 or 4 breaks of 1 or 2 hours...  It Was GREAT!

Me using a corte dress...  and the first picture is the typical guatemalan pose... NO ONE SMILES IN PICTURES HERE...  Im sure it is the same over where jonny is but yeah Im sure that If you put a picture of a guatemalan next to mine you wouldnt see the difference, other than Im white with blue eyes and they are brown with brown eyes...

Changes

This week was changes, and I received my companion Elder Lomeu... and well it is a little weird having him as my companion, because he looks like a latino, but he isnt a native spanish speaker... so sometimes he doesnt understand spanish exactly perfect...  (for those who are confused, he is from Brazil, and they dont speak spanish in Brazil they speak portuguese)  So along with that I am learning portuguese, and it is a lot easier than it looks...  or sounds... im not sure which is more gramatically correct...  But anyways, I can basically understand everything he says now when he talks in portuguese, but I still have a lot of work to do before I can speak it...  So yeah that is pretty exciting!

Also this week we had some ups and downs...  some of the downs were that we walked a lot because a lot of our appointments fell through, but something good that happened, is that because we walked a lot we contacted a lot... so now we have a ton of investigators to teach so we are super excited for the next week...  But my legs are the most sore right now then they have been in all the mission...  I have walked so much this past week... but it is great..  Because I was able to talk a lot with Elder Lomeu and we have learned a lot about one another...

Also this week we had an investigator that we had been teaching for a little, named Alma, and she and her family had always said that they didnt want to come to our church, but they loved our message...  So that was a little bummer, but this week we were teaching her, and she said that she would like to come to church with us... So last week she was going to come to church, but she didnt end up coming because saturday night every person in her family got sick!  So that was a bummer, but she said that this week she would like to come with us if she is feeling better... So I am super excited for that!

A to finish my scripture is in Alma (i dont remember what chapter but it is 30, i think)  verses 15-18... This talks about the conversion of king Lamoni... It is a great story and his conversion is great... so yeah you guys should read it...

Changes!

Well we got our changes... and again I have no change!  But I will be getting a new companion named Elder Lomeu, and he is from Brazil... So I am pretty excited for that, especially because he is from Brazil and well they know portuguese, and well maybe I will learn a little...  But I am pretty excited for that!  I have heard some pretty good things about him!  So I will be in Los Campos 2 again for another 6 weeks!

But this week was a little slow but it was a good week... Because Elder Falcon was leaving a lot of the members had invited him over for lunches and dinners, so we ate free for both meals this whole week, when usually we paid for lunch and didnt eat dinner... so that was good, but it took up a lot of time, so we werent able to visit a ton of new people, but we did have a lesson with a family that we were teaching and they were super interested, so we are excited to follow up with them this next week...  So yeah this week didnt have a ton of things that happened...

But one other thing that happened that was pretty cool is that we were able to have a lesson with an investigator about the book of mormon and things like that... and we had an x missionary that left with us to teach this person about the book of mormon and why we focus on it, and stuff like that... and it was really cool to see the way that this member taught the investigator, and we had been teaching this investigator for some time, but he never understood the importance of the book of mormon, but after this lesson, that we had on sunday, he understood the significance of the book of mormon and the bible and using them together... So that was a pretty cool learning experience for me...  

So yeah that is about all for this week and my scripture is 2Nephi 9... again it is the whole chapter, so that you guys are reading more in the  book of mormon...

Love you all

Elder Stuart
