Week 17: Coco


Monday- We got to wake up early and we went to the church to play soccer with the ward. It was pretty fun!! We then bought stuff for dinners at the local Paiz, after we went to a member's house to have pizza and visit with them.

Tuesday- We had to wake up really early to go to the church with our district, and we taught school of like 150 youth!! It was awesome but so nerve racking, we got to introduce ourselves then we taught them the restoration. It was nice, after we visited with some more families.

Wednesday- we woke up early for a zone conference, it was awesome our President gave us a surprise and we got to watch coco!!! It was a really good conference. We then went to the doctor for my companion cause he has been sick.  We went and they said that he needs to lose weight and has to eat healthy, that's going to be challenge for him, haha.

Thursday- We had our usual morning, then we got to visit with Giselle, we had a great lesson with her and then we invited her to be baptized, her parents are of different religions, and her mom came in at the end and we had Giselle bear testimony that she knows the church is true. It was amazing and the spirit was so strong!!! She needs permission from her dad before, so we will see. We then had night for everybody at the church and after it was pouring rain and we had to walk home and we were soaked head to toe haha.

Friday- We visited with Leonor and got everything ready for Saturday, her interview with our President, he has to do it cause she has a problem with one of the questions. But later in the night, our owner of our house called us up and asked us if we wanted his weights, it's not much but will be very useful in the mornings!! We went up and got them, I'm so excited.

Saturday- We had divisions with the Hacedores, and I got to go with Elder Thornock, he is from Montana, and it was nice to teach people with him and I learned a lot!! We then had the interview with our President, she passed and all is well. Ready for this next Saturday! We then went to Centro to do divisions again with our Zone leaders, it was really fun.

Sunday- Today we woke up, well I woke up full of nerves. We had to speak in church about missionary work, I wrote my whole talk out in English, then translated it all haha. It went well, I was really nervous. But it was good. All the people said I did great but I don't know haha. Later in the night, we made lanterns with the Lopez Family, they are really close to us. It was fun, but they didn't work haha, I'll send the videos!!!

Overall this week was great and it's the last week with my companion, hopefully. I don't know yet, sharing the gospel is amazing and watching people grow in the gospel is amazing. I love it. Hope you all are good!! Miss and love you all!!

Week 1: Buzz Cut

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 and went to the temple after study. The temple is so beautiful. Bu

Extras / Week 5 #ProofOfLife

There's not a lot of extra information, Josh's big email was the best we've seen yet.  Apparently he borrowed someone's Alphasmart and had the email ready so was able to send a few more personal emails this week.  Again, Hermano Mario Gomez is the real MVP sending me some pictures of our boy since the missionaries aren't allowed to take/send pictures while in the training center.  This teacher/friend of Josh's is coming to visit Utah in December and has never been to the United States.  We want to meet up with him! Josh was told he can't send mail back home, but I think it's just at the CCM.  The Mission On The Fly people will take packages home that and allow us to pay the shipping so no out of pocket for the missionaries.  Josh wants to send Guatemalan ties back for the deacons/young men. He had a blowout in one of his basketball shoes that has soles with air pocket things and now it's lopsided. He says his companion reminds him a little o

Extras: Week 11

Dogs are everywhere! I have seen people whip dogs with belts, dogs get hit by cars, dogs kill other dogs, little grandmas kicking the crap out of dogs. It's sad. Lots of puppies that die, because they don't have shelter or food. I hate that. People here just breastfeed in the opening and there have been times where they just breastfeed during our lessons and its okay for that here haha. Then they forget that its out, ugh, it's really uncomfortable. I saw someone roasting a cat…. That was horrible. I have seen people hit by cars, the traffic here is crazy, I would not want to drive here. When we up to that mountain the first time, I was with Elder Johns and we rode on top of the van to the mountain, then after in the city we were on a van, just holding on to the top and and our feet in the van.The vans and buses here, don't really stop you just kind of hop in and then pay as they are driving then hop out when you want, but there are so many motorcycles her
