One of the best weeks of my mission this week.
We've been incredibly busy, but this week was nonstop again. Sorry for no email last week, we've had 0 time to stop. Also, it's almost July already. Good grief.
First though, Warriors got it done. Just as Elder Sutton said, "Bendiciones from serving a mission."
But this week was Zone Conf. I was able to talk with President about how Chicorral needs a chapel and other things about the area. He says that from the work we've done so far, he is going to start the process of approving a chapel for Chicorral!! So excited. I love the people here so much and I know a chapel would help them grow. Last week at church, we had 2 investigators and this week 3. Plus, less actives have become more active recently and are participating in activities!! It's so good to see this place growing and thriving.
As well at Zone Conf, one of my old companions told me that one of our old investigators has decided to be baptized! I found this girl who was a family member of some other investigators that we were teaching, and I had her join in on the lesson, and now later she's being baptized, so cool.
On Thursday, we had to go to Panca! My very first area in Guate. We had to go to get things from their house because the Elders are leaving it, but it was so crazy to be back in Panca for the first time since I got there 11 months ago. Seeing all the members and people there was awesome. They were so surprised to see me again. Now being able to speak Spanish, Kiche , being bigger, taller. It was so fun.
A miracle that happened this week was as we were trying to come home from another area at around 8:45pm. We were asking for rides on the side of the carretera to take us back to Pologua (which is kind of sketchy) and nobody was stopping for us for a little. So, I decided to say a prayer that someone would stop and take us because we had no other option. And about three minutes later, an ambulance stopped for us. We got in and met a couple from my comp's old area in Xela who aren't members, but we invited them to church, and they said they would go this Sunday. Miracle. The driver even asked us, "You guys aren't scared to be asking for rides right now?" haha.
So many other great things happening and have happened. This week is transfers, but I doubt I'll leave. There's no way I leave Momos haha. But love you all!
