Pizza and Cookies

Hey everyone!

I have faith in miracles. "For behold, I am God; and I am a God of miracles; and I will show unto the world that I am the same yesterday, today and forever." (2 Nephi 27:23) Big miracles, small miracles, they will always be there. For example: the shampoo here is super expensive- more than it costs for a week's worth of food. So I haven't wanted to buy shampoo- and here's the miracle! I have used the same shampoo bottle for 6 months! Since the MTC I have gone through my small little shampoo bottle and there's still about an inch left in the bottom! It may not be the loaves and the fishes, but I just know 1 shampoo has never lasted me more than a month. So if you want your shampoo to last longer, become a missionary!! ( or don't wash your hair I guess:) ) 

This was another good week. We did divisions with our zone leaders, and speaking of miracles!! If you're ever in Chimal and want to order PIzza Hut, do it at 9:28 at night. (2 minutes before closing time) The first time we did it they messed our order up, so we got 6 large pizzas for the price of 2! This time we got 8 medium pizzas for the same price as before! The Lord watches out for his servants. 
Sometimes the blessings are just great ideas- yesterday we all went to eat as a zone, and the ZL's realized they had 150 Quetz of our zone fund (about $20) so of course we bought 50 cookies from Subway!

 I love and sustain President Nelson, and I love and sustain this church!!! Thank you so much to everyone for the love and support!!!!!

(Jaxson's time was short and he apologized for not finishing his letter this week- but at least we know he is eating and what makes missionary boys happy! 😊)

Buena semana todos!!!! A big warm hola from Elder Tadje and Elder Velez aqui en Barcenas!!!  So this week's been good- kinda crazy, but I'm starting to learn that's just how mission life is!!! Our area is awesome- the members love working with us, and love giving references!!! It's kinda weird, this has never happened before.... There were just some problems with the Elders before, so when I got here we didn't have any lunch. But we've started building bridges again, and we've been eating every day since then; and today one of our investigators is feeding us!!! That's when you know they're opening their hearts🌮 Our house is great, we spent two hours of pday cleaning which is a miracle cuz it's only one room 😂 haha there's one room to eat, sleep, study, exercise, everything. But it's made me realize that we don't really need more space, and how blessed we are in America. It's a lifestyle that the people here can't even...

Oi que dicen mis seres queridos?!  So we had changes- and mi hijo Elder Velez and I are here another change!!! Which is good becasue I just paid for another month of our gym membership. This really is an incredible area- the members are awesome, and we're seeing a ton of miracles!!! We had a little boy named Anthony who was going to be baptized last week- well he randomly decided to go sightseeing with his aunt and uncle Sunday so he didn't come to church. But he should get baptized this Sunday, along with Monica Carillo! She was supposed to get baptized my first week here but her boyfriend hasn't been worthy until now. But everything is good and she's finally getting baptized! Also possibly a girl named Angie Cortez- she's 12 and got baptized when she was 8, but her records were lost so we might have to do it over again if we can't find them!! Bendita Guatemala! We had 9 investigators in church Sunday and they're all pretty positive so we'll ...

New Stake in Solola!

4/17/2018 WHAT UP world!  Here we are in Bendita Guatemala where we just got news from the first presidency that after 40 years, District Solola is going to become a stake!!!!! Everybody here is SUPER pumped- so on May 13th and 14th a general authority is going to come down (We're hoping for one of the 12, but we're about 3 hours from anywhere so we'll see what happens) and we're gonna become an ESTACA!!!! The district president pulled us into the office Sunday, and asked if Elder Salazar and I would help him put together a stake choir so I'm going to play the piano, and Elder Salazar will lead the music!!! We're all super excited!!!! This Sunday we were blessed to have the baptism of David Moises Rodriguez Rodriguez!!! He's an ex member of the 18 which is a really bad gang in Guatemala, but it has been such a blessing to see his life change completely with the help of the gospel!!! The culture in the mountains of Guatemala is really interesti...
