hey fammmmm.
Not tooo much is knew here, just
finished giving a zone training about the book of mormon, it went
well, we've got a good zone, and there's energy and excitement in
it.
This week was tough cuz we had tons of
meeting and we were doing divisions with the zone, so its was a
little tough number wise, we didn't have the stats that we wanted,
until the weekend. wow, the weekend was soo good! in two days we did
what a lot of time is done in one week. we were really blessed.
Church attendance wasn't so hot though,
only 2 came from our area, and let me tell you why, its cuz when its
cold out, guatemalans do not get out of bed! It was quite chilly here
on sunday morning. we had tons of people telling us that they wold
come, and we left the house at 6:40 am to go pass by for them all, but we
had no luck. but next week will be better.
Also the family that we found, the one
i told you about when there was the shooting, yea, they are super
super positive. I'm almost sure that they will be baptized, but maybe
in like a month, cuz the lady works every second sunday, so we gotta
get that resolved and then she has to come at least 3 times before
being baptized.
That's so good to here that Parker is
being blessed with baptisms in Mother Russia. God Bless him.
and yeah, telling me that dad had knee
deep powder at lake louise does make me a little jealous and baggy,
but don't you worry, I'll be back in no time, but I'll come back to
summer.
haha, me and elder Jaramillo are so
baggy together, we're both almost done and we like a lot of the same
things, but its all good , and long as we keep working its alright to
be baggy every once in a while.
Thats cool that madi got invited to go
to victoria island. I lost track of where the Carters were, I
thought they might be on a boat in the middle of the Indian sea or
something, but cool. so is she going to go to victoria? i would
think that would be sick.
and wow, putting a blender in the terms
of dollars instead of quetzales makes it seem a lot cheaper. that's
like how much someone makes in 2 hours of work, not what someone
makes it a whole week and a half, like it is here.
well, we have a lot of really positive
investigators, but still none with set baptismal dates, but they will
come, we are praying. actually there's a super pilas lady named Leti
that just needs to get married, but she should be getting all the
papers this week, so that will be a quick one.
i don't know what else to say, i feel
like this week has gone by really fast, i haven't taken any more
pictures yet, which i will so don't worry.
This week we caught a small lizard and
made habitat for it is a dish, covered it with plastic and
poked holes it in so it had air, but i thought lizards needed lots of
sun, so i left it in the sun, and we came home to a shrivelled up
lizard lying dead on its back. oh well, straight to the reino
celestial.
I went to President Broughs house for
the first time the other day, it was cool, we had a zone leader
counsel there, he had alot of chocolate that we ate, and cheesecake.
heyy, thats something you gotta make me
after the mish too, your homemade cheesecake, soo good!
cuz i remember one time we were in
costco i think, and i wanted to buy cheesecake, but then you said
that you would just make your cheesecake, but i don't think you ever
did, so you owe me! haha
heyyy, you guys need to look on the
internet about cool stuff and cool places to go here in Guatemala,
and tell me about some stuff you want to do, so we can all have it
planned, there a member who lives in front of me that knows a lot
about tourism and is starting his tourism company and he could help
us out, but i don't know if theres anything you would want to do.
and look us Santa Terisita spa,
Guatemala, on google, its a cool tourist spa that's actually in my
area, if only i could do that kinda stuff right now, but i just
thought that that might be interesting to you to know.
well, im hungry, so im gonna go eat.
From Guatemala, with Love,
Elder Hopkinsss xoxo
