Week 42: BAUTISMO DE LENNY

Another quick week in paradise!!! 

So there is an outbreak of dog meat right now in Guatemala. Companys are trying to sell dog meat but sell if off as normal meat!!! So people buy meat thinking its cow meat but its DOG MEAT. So as a result a couple of days ago a member read us the signs of dog meat. Then the next day we ate lunch and the meat was EXACTLY the description of DOG MEAT AHHHH hhahaha HORRIBLE!!!! So we are 95% sure we ate dog meat hahah YAY. 

Then Lenny Perez got baptized! He is the youngest of 4. His older brothers are super pilas and they all walk to church like 3 miles by themselves without their parents. They literally planned the baptism of lenny without their parents and they went to the baptism without their parents. Its so sad cause they have no support from their family. But Lenny got baptized and he was super excited!! SO CUTEEE! 

SO we almost got robbed. Just the usual. We were walking down a really dark street with a member in a sketch part of the area, and we walked by a dirt trail and in this trail there was a group of men hiding there!!!! And we didn't notice it until one of them lunged at us but SLIPPED and we saw the group so we were like OOOHHH FREAK and we SPRINTED to the main road. When we got there OF COURSE there was some sketch old guy causually sitting there with a machetti. hahaha but It actually freaked me out. We are being a lot more careful now about where we walk at night hahaha!

I love going working in my area. The areas are SO huge in Guatemala. All the companerismos just put their boundaries when they hit the jungle. Literally they dont give neatly written boundaries. When we hit the next door jungle we stop hahaha 

so We had transfers this week and Im staying in MAZATEEE and finishing the training of Hermana calvo! Its raining like crazy here. The lighting is insane. The bolts just hit right in front of you and the sound of the crack IS SO LOUD hahah 

Anyways this week I learned the law of charity. I learned that we will all have to develop love for our enemys. Whether it be tomorrow or whether we wait years, we will all have to find love for our enemies. I learned thats its easier to start loving those we dont love as soon as possible, because if not we will suffer the consequences of unrest in our hearts. I am thankful for the atonement of Christ which makes this love possible! 

Con gozo y amor,
