Now, reading a little about your idea for the Guate
trip, I had an idea. If we did it from like a Friday or Saturday until a
Monday or Tuesday. That way we could attend church twice as a family
in Guatemala, once in the area of Nicole's choice and the other, my
choice. Just an idea that I had :) Also, y'all had an AWESOME!!!!!!!!! week haha. But for reals, super duper adventures from last week, glad
y'all could get out and de-stress a little bit and just have a good time
(even though the plane had super duper issues haha). But ya made it! (PS, as I write this I'm trying to send photos of our pday
adventure today which was to go to a cave and it was actually pretty
cool but internet again is slow, sorry we're in San Antonio).

Now, my week. I fear this email may be a little
short but it's just packed full of great info and good news so I hope
that'll make up for it :) First off, Pablo.
FINALLY, we're getting down to it. We just busted out a bunch of doubts
that he has and finally just challenged him to ASK God during the
sacrament at church on Sunday so hopefully he did it and we'll find out
tomorrow :) But we're feeling pretty good about it :)
We also had a really cool Noche de Hermanamiento.
We had an open air cinema with 'The Testaments'. People came to paint
the church without much notice so last minute we threw it together and
it turned out great. We made popcorn and did it in the patio of one of
our members, it was super great :) Everyone seemed to like it.
Now, Ogler. This kid is LEGIT! I've met quite a few
young men who come to meet the church through a girl and they all the
sudden become very "interested" in the church. And initially, I'll
admit, that's what I thought here. But no, this kid is LEGIT! I don't
have a lot of details because there's not a lot of details to tell. But
after the first lesson he came back and was like "I read what you said, I
prayed, and I got my answer" he then proceeded to describe to us the
feeling of the spirit that came to him. It was GREAT! Now, we met with
him on Saturday and tried to put for sure the fecha for the 22nd. He
told us, "I'm not sure, I feel like I should wait, and my mom says it's
fast" stuff like that so we're like "okay, we know that you can be ready
and prepared for that date, if you put your part. If you strive and do
the best you can, you will get to that day and know that its the right
thing to do. But ask God, ask him if you should be baptized that day
and he'll tell you" so he left with that. Came to church on Sunday and
told us that he had gotten his answer and told us that he knew he needs
to be baptized on Saturday. SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A BAPTISM!!!!! After
more than 3 changes of working hard and having sooooo many people sooooo
close, something is finally going to go through. It's an incredible
feeling :) We're very excited if you can't tell :)
Apart from that were still looking for positive
people and having kinda a hard time finding them but I'll always keep
y'all updated, sorry for the lack of pics LOVE YOU ALLL!!!!!!!!
