Week 2



Josh's email from his 2nd week:

Wednesday- P days are so nice we get to go to the temple in the morning, but it is closed for two weeks, so that kind of blows. But we get to chill, play sports, clean our rooms, write to everyone and there is a store you can buy things from. I have gotten a couple of ties from there.

Thursday -  We played sports in the morning then we just have personal study and planning time. Then we have language study and we had to practice teaching. We then had our last lesson with Fernando and it went okay haha. 

Friday - We have sports and the rest of the normal schedule. Today they told us we would be having a investigator in the morning and at night. So that is a challenge to plan two lessons a day. I like it though, really fun.

The investigators are our teachers but they act like the people and they are serious actors haha, In the mornings we teach Nick and the evenings, we teach Tyler.

Saturday - We got up and had study time, then we were taught different lessons. We taught Tyler for the first time tonight and it went really well. We had sports in the afternoon and it is so hot. We then had to setup for Sunday. 

Sunday - Sundays are really chill, and sacrament meeting is really cool, it's all in Spanish and I'm understanding more and more. We then have good talks right after and awesome videos all day. 

Monday and Tuesday - We did the usual stuff in the mornings, but today we were able to teach both our investigators. It is really nice and fun to do, 

So my teacher Hermano Gomez said he might hook me up with a cheap suit and he has been telling me about going to Utah in December, which is fun to talk to him about. 
The weather here is so nice and it is normally overcast and it is just so nice. But sometimes we get rain and have lots of sun at other times. 
Overall it has been great, sometimes I struggle, but I just push through it and it's all good. The food is still amazing and I miss and love all you guys!

Week 1: Buzz Cut

Image
Josh's 1st Week Email Wednesday:  A lot of missionaries were on my flight.  The flight was pretty amazing, the sunset was awesome.  When we arrived in Guatemala, we had to take a bus to the MTC and the traffic here is crazy.  It makes Utah look like nothing!  Guatemala is beautiful and so colorful.  We arrived in the morning, we did not get to sleep that much.  We had interviews, room checks, and identification checks.  Before we got our picture taken, they grabbed some of us and went to a room.  We went in and basically had to get a buzz cut.  I'm still kind of mad about that as well as others, but oh well.  We then had lessons for Spanish all day and a workshop at the end on rules.  I learned as much Spanish in a couple hours then I did in 6 months at school.  Food here is really good, lots of variety and fruit with every meal.  I got my companion who is Elder Money. Thursday:  We finally got to sleep ...
