Hola a TODOS!!!
Y saludos a todos! Espero que ustedes están disfrutando su navidad en los estados!
So the trip to Guatemala city was BRUTAL. We had to go there to do something with our VISA'S. It was 11 hours in bus there and then 11 hours back!!!! But I got to go with all the other missionary's from my group in el CCM!! So it was worth it haha but when we got to the capital we basically got locked into a hotel for two days cause it is so dangerous there. But I realized how cut off I am from the world when I got to the hotel cause my jaw was dropped walking into a nice hotel seeing jugs of water and complimentary breakfast hahaha Our first night we heard 7 gun shots outside the hotel haha Then the next morning we went out to explore down town (such a dangerous idea) hahaha
Then we went to the immigration office and ALL of the kids from the CCM were there!!!!! IT WAS CRAZYYY! It was so good to see everyone from my district! It was crazy to speak Spanish with them cause the last time we spoke Spanish together we were TRASH!! hahaha
Then we went to a mall and once again I experience cultural shock. I didn't even know how to go into a normal shop and look at the clothes like a normal person!
Then we traveled back to good old SAN MARCOS! While we were traveling we were getting off and I happened to be a couple people ahead of my companion, and right when I got off the bus TOOK OFF WITH MY COMP and I just stood there in the middle of xela without a companion! hahaha but long story short we ended up finding each other haha
Then when we got back one of the Hermana's in my zone was walking down the stairs and slipped and literally BROKE HER BACK and couldn't move for 2 hours. SOOO bad and SOOO scary. And it is so hard to speak Spanish in emergency's! SOOO HARD cause im just thinking 1000 miles per hour in english but i have to talk in a different language! But she is doing a ton better!
But this week was CRAZY! It is so weird how the language was my biggest concern for 3 months but now its on the back burner hahaha There are so many more things to worry about out here!!
People are always saying "Hermana salisbury you are always laughing and smiling ALL day how do you do it??" Which is a really good question cause missionary work is HARD WORK. But I think the answer is I am SO happy to be here doing the work of the Lord. And there is no reason to ever have a bad attitude or have a bad day here because I am taking part in the greatest work on earth, the salvation of souls! There is no place I would rather be than here talking in Spanish, teaching about a savior, here in San Marcos Guatemala!
Hope you guys have a good week!! Light the world this week by serving someone like the savior served!
Con amor,
Hermana Salisbury
