Divisions again...

This week well Im not quite sure what happened... My mind is kind of blank right now...  But yeah we had a decent week this week, I think but i honestly dont remember..  But yesterday in church we were able to take three investagators to church with us so that was pretty great!  So we did divisions again with the other area Los Campos 1(Im in Los Campos 2) and I went over there again...  This time it was a little bit different, because I went with Elder Veliz, who knows a little bit of queqchi, and we taught a lot of people in queqchi, well actually let me rephrase that, he taught a lot of people in queqchi, because I dont know it...  So yeah but that was pretty fun becasue I was able to watch him teach and learn some new things.  Then we were able to put two dates for baptisms in their area.  So that was pretty fantastic.  

And in our area we have 4 new people that have a goal for baptism on the 19th of April, so we are working really hard for that...  We are really excited for the work that we are going to be having in this area..  But I hope that I dont leave it.. Because I might be leaving here in two weeks, but who knows right...  But yeah this week was pretty good...  We are having some of the most success in this time that I have had in my mission, but it is the only time that I havent really had baptisms, so that is a little weird, but I hope that the success will come within this next month for this area.  Because this area wasnt really progressing when I got there, and it is still a little slow, but I think that it will pick up in a month or so..  But yeah thanks for todo.

Oops that last line was spanglish, but You understand... Right?

Here I am again...

Im kind of running out of things to say each week... It gets harder to send these with each week..  But I will continue trying to inform thee of the things that are occurring in my life... This week has been not down in the depths nor high in the heavens, but just original.  Nothing of great worth has passed, nor nothing of hazard to my companion or me.  We are walking the hills of Coban having chats with the people that are accepting, and pressing forward with those that dont...  It has been a grand opportunity to share my moments with thee, and I will write thee in the next monday of this month.

Ok Im not going to lie that took about 15 minutes to write, and it was really hard to think of that... So I hope you enjoyed it...  Anyways as I have noted this week was just average, we didnt have any great stories or anything spectacular happen but it was still a pretty good week!  

Also we are in an area where some of the people speak Queqchi (kekchee) for those who didnt understand that...  And about 50 percent of the people speak it, so sometimes during the lesson they will just speak to each other in this language so yeah...  We have started to have a member that knows queqchi come with us so that they can understand it and tell us what they are saying, so they cant talk behind our backs...  So yeah I guess that that is kind of interesting!  

Also we had a zone conference this week and it was super great.  They taught us about Alma 5, which is a great chapter, probably one of my favorites, which is great about the repentence. But it is a little harsh, but that is why I love it!   We have nicknamed it Alma Cincho (cincho here in guatemala is like forcefully speaking or something like that, it is a little hard to explain, but the people in Guatemala, Jonny, Will understand this part...  But anyway i guess ill continue with my letter)  Alma had no fear to tell the people what they need to do. He had no fear to tell them the things of his heart.  Also he bears his testimony in this chapter and it is super powerfull!  So yeah you should read it.
