Hay Family
So last week I even wrote down to wish
dad a happy birthday, but in the witting process it just didn't quite
get into the email, but happy birthday dad!!! wow, 50 years
old.... i left home living with my dad, and now I'm gonna get back to
live with my grandpa it seems hahahaha. just kidding! Thats great
that you've got another year under your belt, . I laughed when i saw
the picture of the cake cuz it looks just like dad! haha. but
seriously happy birthday, i love you.
And also Happy Anniversary. Thank you
for getting married so that Icould be born in a home of loving
parents who love the Lord. We are teaching a part member family right
now, the wife is a member, but doesn't want to get married to her
husband! They have 3 kids and have been together for 7 years. We're
gonna have to give them chicote. thats what we say to reprimand, or
get after? i don't really know how to say it in english.
(I told Elder Hopkins that the office emailed me about details for his Christmas package and then Elder Jaramillo put in brackets at the bottom of his email "p.s. Elder Hopkins is a stud!"
haha, Elder Jaramillo is my bud, we
were in a district together, actually he was my district leader for a
change. great guy.
Thats crazy that the temple is going to
be done so soon! I'm excited to go when I get back.
So what happened this week... lots of
interviews... one that needed the President to go interview him, one
that wasn't ready for baptism, but after everything, 4 people were
baptized in the District.
Right now in my area, we have 2
families that have accepted the goal of november 10th for baptism,
but we're just working hard with them to go through with the goal.
This week we have stake conference
here, and a member of the 70 is coming for it.
This last week we have a few more
coming to church, but the people that we really wanted to come
couldn't. well, one had a job pop up that he had to do, and this
other family, the one that doesn't want to get married, well, one of
their kids got really sick from eating food in the street, and they
took him to the hospital at 3 in the morning.
Yesterday or a distict activity, we
carved pumpkins, because next week we wont be able to. well they were
kind of like pumpkins what we carved... i don't really know what the
name is in english. but they were really hard to carve haha, but it
was fun. The sisters carved a watermelon, which was a lot easier, and
we could actually eat the insides of it ha. we also made enchiladas
and brownies. it was great.
but yeah that was basically my weeks.
it was good.
Don't be jealous of me being in a warm
place, cuz its kinda cold up here in the mountains too. I always have
my sweater with me, and sometimes a rain jacket as well, cuz it also
rains...
Well, thats it for this week, you'll
have to log on to get the pictures because they don't want to send.
From Guatemala, With Love,
Elder Hopkins
