ANOTHER DAY WITH PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

This week has been even better! Things are starting to pick up a lot so that has been great! Jesus is still on for the first, but we are not completely sure. On Saturday we taught him in the house of one of our members and we went over the baptismal questions with him. He is all ready for the interview and we had it set up for yesterday after church with the president.  But yesterday before church we were talking to him and he said that he was going to walk to church and then we got there and he wasn't there!  He just didn't show up to church and so we had to cancel the interview so we are hoping to get it on Saturday before the baptism. There will also be a two other baptisms in our ward that day, one who is 8 and is the daughter of the family that got baptized a few days ago and then one other investigator named Javier. But Jesus has such a strong testimony and he is so ready for baptism and has the desire so we are super excited for him! We are really hoping for Saturday because he wants it so badly! He has so much love for the Savior and so we are so happy! He will most likely be baptized this Saturday!  

I haven't been feeling great this week though so that has been hard.  I hadn't been feeling great for a week or two whenever we would eat with members.  After Friday I just lost all my appetite and couldn’t eat.  I talked to the nurse here at the mission and I am feeling a lot better now. She talked about just eating more fruit and drinking more water and stuff so hopefully that will work!

Yesterday though my companion and I got split apart. We were getting off the train and my companion got off a little before me and I got stuck behind a few people getting out. All of a sudden the doors shut.  I don't know how the guy in front of me got out but anyways the doors shut. The doors in the trains are like all of the ones that we would see when we were on vacations and the doors just shut even if people are in the way and dad would always get his backpack straps or something shut in the doors. I was laughing because it was like when Annie got stuck in the bus in Europe because my companion turned around and the door shut and he was like what oh no. I thought it was so funny so I just had to get up to the next stop and get off and come back down. I was laughing so hard the whole time because there is honestly nothing I could have done!

But I love the families here so much! There is a family named the Perugachis here and I love them so much! They are from Ecuador! The other day we were at their house and two of their kids were wrestling and I just loved being there. They all have the really long hair because that is the culture from where they are from! I love them so much and I love spending time with them! Everything is going great here!

I am glad you went over and visited Morgan though! She is going to love Guatemala! All of the people in my ward from there are absolutely amazing! And that is crazy about Bobby already having his call! I got his email today so I am going to respond to that soon! And it is amazing Kristy is already going! But yeah the work is hastening right now! This is the time of the wave of the missionaries and so this is when we really need to step it up because this is when we have the most people doing it every day all day!

But I love you so much! I hope you have a great day!
