Hola! So this has been a crazy week! We almost got robbed! Haha we were in front of Rodolfo's house and a drunk guy walked up to us. "Hey, Give me your money. I see your wallet. Give me your money." Without saying a word to the guy we opened Rodolfo's gate and walked in. When I turned around to close the gate the guy was pointing at us and said "Ah man. Well, I will get you next time!" Then he walked off without a problem. 😊  We finally moved!! The apartment across the street had a for rent sign. Business deals are so much easier in Guatemala. We called the guy and said we were interested and made an appointment with our zone leaders this morning. They were late and the owner had to leave, but we told him we wanted it so he gave us the keys and said we could move in whenever we wanted! We called in our district to help us, and Stuardo Dardon- a convert of about 6 months, who is an absolute stud. He told us he couldn't believe we'd been livi...

Friends in High Places

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 ...

Baptisms

We had a pretty great weekend in Barcenas Guatemala! Elder Velez and I were able to have the baptisms of Monica Carrillo, Anthony Morales, and Anji Cortee! The services were all really special and spiritual and it was such a blessing to be a part of 3 people entering the path to God's kingdom!  We've been keeping busy- last change the mission norm changed. The "standards of excellency" are now 1 baptism per week, 8 investigators  at church, 2 new investigators every day and 18 every week. So we've got a ton of people to be visiting and people to find! But we really have seen a lot of miracles. Yesterday we were walking in the streets and this guy ran up to us and said "Elders, I saw you yesterday in the bus and now I saw you again. There is no way this is a coincidence. Is there any way you could pass by my house tomorrow?" We were like, OK!!  So we showed up today. His name is Jordan Gomez, he's 17, and before going no his mission his friend ga...
