First, to answer questions, about my area and zone and stuff. My zone
is called Zona Xela Centro. Exciting, I know. The area has an even
more exciting name. El Centro. Because, you guessed it, el Centro is
part of the area ha ha. I have the official central park of Xela in my
area which is actually kinda cool, it's a super pretty park, especially
this time of year ha ha. It's a ward with an attendance of about 140 so
that's pretty cool. Our house is actually SUUUUUPER nice. And we have a
bunch of crap because they like to spoil us. We have a huge fridge and
microwave and all that good stuff. I really actually like the area. The
only thing I'm slightly disappointed about is that I'll be spending
ANOTHER Christmas in Xela about 7 minutes from where I was last year
ha ha. But it's gonna be chill. Me and DeLora are gonna have a great
Christmas, we already have a lot of plans ha ha.
Now about my comp. His name is Elder DeLora from Fresno California.
He's a little shorter than me and a built guy. He plays football ha ha.
But he's legit, we were friends before being comps so that helped a lot.
We're excited to be working hard and we're really, really stoked. To answer, the temple is
maybe 10 minutes away, but it's not in my zone. It's in Xela Oeste
where Esperanza is.
Dude, tree raising, nice pics! I can imagine how fun it was, we
should be having our own tree raising here pretty quick. We're probably
going to buy it on Saturday. So
yeah, as for Thanksgiving, THANK YOU GRANDMA HEALEY for a great package
that included turkey dinners. We also managed to find a pumpkin pie
which we cut and served with a machete, just to make it a little Guatemalan ha ha. But yeah.
As far as investigators go. Some people that seemed super positive
turned out to be not so positive this week but we did have a good lesson
with Henry. He accepted a fecha! He was supposed to be baptized on the
8th of December but he didn't come to church yesterday because it was his
graduation from school so we have to bump it back but he's still set to
be baptized :) He just accepts everything, super prepared :)
Mariela, also had some difficulties there. Her mom won't let her be baptized until next year. She says "Yeah, I know her decision is made and I know that it's a
good thing but she can't go til next year" so we'll see
if we'll have a new years baptism :)
We also have some news. People that have come to church now 2 weeks
in a row, we thought they were members but it turns out that they're not
sooooo we're going to be baptizing them. Just the kids in the family for now, but
still, it's legit :) We're pretty excited about the month of December, it'll
be great. We had a great week, life is good and I'm a happy dude.
LOVE
YOU ALL!!!!
