This week went by really super fast. I´m not sure what we actually did this week, but I know we did a ton. I´ll try to give a good summary.
We got to go to the temple this week with the branch in El Palmar, and it was a really amazing trip. I really felt strongly the presence of God there. The temple is one of the happiest places on Earth. And afterwards my companion and I found some of the missionaries from the CCM! The CCM is right by the temple, and these guys were out in the street learning how to meet people and invite them to church. But they´re just like I was when I was there, and it was really funny to see them and realize how much I´ve learned in just four months of being in the field. They struggled so much with Spanish and didn´t know what the people were saying, and had so much excitement to teach and help the people, but they didn´t know quite how to use their desires to do good. It was really crazy to realize that they really don´t know almost anything about the mission, but they´re about to get slammed into the same thing that happened to me. And hopefully they´ll end up better that I ever will, because I still have so much to learn. They looked all unsure and nervous, but determined. And we probably looked like these giants to them. But that´s how life works, and sometimes you just need to look back to see how far you´ve come. It´s amazing. And we also went to one of the only Dunkin Donut (they say "dona") shops in all of Guatemala. Tasty.
We also went to a multi zone conference in the capital, and I got to see a lot of my old friends, which was super awesome. It´s waaay less hot over there, and sometimes I forget that there are places that aren´t humid and sunny. It´s all good though.
We also taught a ton of people and did a lot of really good stuff this week. We´re really seeing people change their lives, and that´s the reason I´m here, so it makes me super happy. But next week, we have changes. Already! They go by faster and faster every time. My companion and I think that we´ll stay together, but we don´t know yet. It´s an interesting anticipation, not knowing whether or not you´ll keep the same everything...or leave everything you know, move to another side of the country and live with completely different people. It´s kind of exciting though, in a strange way. New is exciting, even if you don´t know at all what to expect. But! I think it´ll all stay the same for us. :)
Always love you guys!
