Well I got blind sided on transfers and im staying in my same area in the same zone.I LITERALLY went and said bye to allll the members and cried while doing it and then I found out Im freaking staying and all the members are so confused !!! When I hit a year in the mission I will have had 2 areas in one year hahaha YEP. I am comps with hermana Garcia from Mexico! We were in the mtc together back when I didn't speak Spanish haha Now we can understand eachother! we are sister training leaders together for the 2 zones in mazate!
This week Guatemala voted for president and they take it SOOO seriously that all the kids get school off for 4 days haha we received orders from our zone leaders to be inside our house at 3 in the afternoon and not come out until the next day cause our area in a red zone which means its REALLY dangerous! SO we had fun being locked inside haha
Transfers in a third world country are SO fun! We sat in the bus terminal for 4 hours in the blazing sun with a HUGE group of gringos in white shirts and ties hahaha We had at least 5 people come up and ask for pictures with us.
ALEJANDRA GOT BAPTIZED!!! She is seriously such a PILAS convert! We found her while knocking doors! (miracle) When we knocked we found the aunt of alejandra in the house and she didnt want anything with us so we turned around to leave and alejandra walked up behind us and asked who we were looking for and we said "you!" hahaha we taught her and she had a testimony from the beginning. The father of her kids HATES the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints so he made her choose between her baptism and him. She chose happiness, her baptism. To try and change her mind the husband stopped giving money so she had to figure out a way to pay the house and bills. BUT SHE KEPT GOING TO CHURCH!! and god blessed her!!! Work just fell into her hands cause God knows the importance of His sons church. She thought it was going to be impossible to keep the law of chastity and the word of wisdom but now she understands the reason behind the commandments and LOVES IT!!! When she came out of the water she was crying so hard and we asked why and she said she felt so happy!!! Now she is preparing to enter the temple the year. Her goal is to have an eternal family!!! I will always remember alejandra as an example for me, an example of obedience with exactness and the blessing that come from that principle.
Con amor
Hermana Salisbury
