Hey Familyyyy!
I'm doing fantastic, this week was the
best week I think I've had in the mission, lots of fun, lots of
miracles, and lots of success.
Jorge and Lety did get baptized,
and it was great, they are super pilas, they are going to be future
leaders in the church, I am for sure of it. We went out with the
stake president to visit some people, and we visited Jorge
between his baptism and confirmation, and the stake president was
shocked, and he said that he knows that Jorge will be a great
leader too, and then Jorge started to cry, it was really spiritual.
This man used to maintain himself outside passed out on the sidewalks
from drinking so much, and he almost dies from it. Sometimes you just
gotta hit rock bottom until you can shoot back up.
Also we had 2 other baptisms we weren’t
expecting, Luis & Marisol. We've been teaching them for like 5
weeks and they have always been really positive. well, on Sunday
morning and church they told us that they would be baptized. we did
divisions, my comp went to look for clothes, I finished teaching them
some things, and then we got the interviews done, and they were
baptized right after church. it was great.
Tomorrow we have changes, my companion
is leaving, and I'm receiving three more haha. its kinda a different
situation. So I'm going to receive a new zone leader companion, and
I'm also going to receive a new companion who I am going to train,
also my zone leader companion will have his companion that he's
training. There just so many newbies coming in, and so many problems
with the visas that even the Zone leaders have to train while being
Zone leaders so that should help me stay really focused these last 6
weeks too.
Also this morning I talked to a man
from my old area in Guajitos. It looks like old Alberto is almost
ready to go to the temple and be sealed to his deceased wife.
Hopefully I'll get to go with him for it in a couple of weeks.
I thought it was the iphone 4 that you
all had, not the i-phone5.... it seems like the iphone 5 just came
out here, maybe Guatemala is a little behind.
Is there flying cars, hoverboards, or
teleporting up there in north america yet? saberrrrrrr
sucks that I won't be there for Mumford
and Sons, I didn't even know they had a new album, well of coarse i
didn’t, I'm here in Guatemala without technology.
Well, we got no easter dinner, that
doesn't really exist here, its just the semana santa, where everyone
goes to the pools and beach, get drunk, and kill more people. but
everythings fairly normal now. as normal as Guatemala gets.
Yesterday I met an old crazy man that
goes up to cement poles and sucks on them. yea, no joke, thats what
he does all day. we think that he pretends they are a woman and that
he's kissing them. but if you talk to the guy he seems like a fairly
normal old man. crazy.
Have you looked at Guatemalan tourism
and found something that you wanna do yet, wanna go up in a plane for
a day to the big ruins in coban, I think that would be sweet. It
would be like 250-300 each I think, for food and everything too. I'm
just thinking that its not gonna be too much fun for you guys to just
visit people in their homes that you can't even communicate with. Let
me know what you wanna do!
well, i don’t know what else to say,
I'll send some pictures now and tell you what they are. I'm not gonna
send you all the pictures of the house that i took cuz i can only
send one at a time and its takes a long time.
love you all, thanks for all the
pictures you sent me, your all looking great.
Ps now i can respond to anybody’s
email, of ANYONE.
From Guatemala, With Love,
Elder Hopkins
ps. at the end of june i wanna go down
to Arizona cuz my good friend former Elder Tanner is getting married!
I think its like June 26th or something
