WoW for sure some of the craziest days of my life this past week!!
The last couple days in the CCM were basically classes on how to survive the field. Stuff like what to do when you get kidnapped, stabbed, or robbed!!! And it was all in Spanish so I only got about 50% haha. So lets just hope none of those happen to me!

Our district sang in church on Sunday and just our luck the president of the church in central America (Juan A Uceda), the 1st counselor in the primary presidency (Lisa Harkness), and the 2nd counselor in the relief society ( Reyne A Burto) were all attending!!! I got to chat with them after and they are all such awesome people!!
My last day in el CCM was seriously so sad because I felt like I was leaving my family again!!! I got so close with all the people there so yeah it was hard pero todo esta bien.

We left the CCM at 3:30 am and took the craziest bus ride here!!! With all the buses you take with your luggage they throw it up on top and you just pray that all your stuff gets there hahah There were sooo many volcanoes on the way into reu I cannot even count!! But they were so pretty to look at! We also got to witness some of the living conditions here in Guatemala and wow, I am truly humbled by the happiness these people have even though they have so little.
The Goodman's (my mission presidents) are AWESOME! They are seriously sooo caring and have such good advice for us missionaries!

I have been assigned to San Marcos!!! The coldest part of the mission at 10,000 ft. elevation!!! So we had to take a 6 hour bus ride up the mountains and WOW THAT WAS SO SKETCH!!!! It was raining so hard and this HUGE bus was hauling up the small sketchy back roads!! hahaha! But needless to say I loved that bus ride because they pack people in three to a seat and you can't even move it is so crowded, and it was so great because I got to give every person that sat by me a gospel message and they couldn't run away from me!!!! I passed out more folletos than I can count and I placed a Book of Mormon on the taxi ride to our house! I would get nervous to talk to all these random Guatemalans but then I would hear a voice in my head say "OPEN YOUR MOUTH" so I did and the Lord helped me as I taught about prophets and the restoration and eternal families and the Book of Mormon!!

Anyways we got to the house and I really don't want to sound like a total American right now but I was so surprised by the living conditions. haha! My comp told me we have the best house in the entire mission, so yeah I don't even want to know what the other house are like so I will enjoy this house while it lasts!!
We woke up to the water not working this morning so that was just DANDY!!! haha
Honestly I am so happy to be here. I almost cried of happiness this morning because I was walking down the streets of San Marcos and I realized I wanted this so so so bad for a mission and I got it. I get to serve in the most beautiful country with the most beautiful people!! Pray for me this week cause who knows what's gonna happen!!!
Con amor,
