Week 69: BAPTISM and MAGGOTS


HEY week 69 and still going strong!! hahaha

So the house we live in is SOOOOO hot because there are no windows. SO when we leave for the day and close the door its basically a hot yoga room. I got home one night and went to put my retainers in. When I opened the case there was a fly stuck inside and it flew out. BUT as I looked closer I SAW IT MADE MAGGOTS ALL OVER MY RETAINERS AND THEY HAD GROWN SO BIG DURING THE DAY CAUSE OUR HOUSE IS BASICALLY AN INCUBATOR hahahahahah I have never been so grossed out in my whole like. Little white worms all over my retainer. DISGUSTING. 


So as an hermana leader I have the fun job to help the hermana not FIGHT in their companionship. We had some hermanas that just COULD not get along. So we had to go to their house and work it out. I was there to translate because there was a new girl from the states. There was one point when I thought they were gonna FIST FIGHT hahaha I totally would have let them cause at that point we were 4 HOURS IN TO THEM ARGUING!!!! hahahaha WE FINALLY finished at about 5 hours. I seriously could be a marriage consejero after the mission. 

So our ward decided to do a service day! They gave us the job to pick up ALL the trash around the church building. I was about to finish up picking up like 1000 needles #GUATDRUGS until a saw what looked like a bag of chips but when a picked it up HUMAN POOP AND PEE FELL OUT. I dont know how I didnt throw up. It made me INSTANTLY regret the service I had just done hahahaha EWWWWW I dont think I will ever pick up trash in GUAT!!!

We have to walk SOOOO much here because there arent tuk tuks. We had to walk like 7 blocks to get to the church. As I was walking I felt a lot of air but I didnt think anything of it until we FINISH THE 7 BLOCKS and somelady pulled over on her motorycle and said that MY  DRESS WAS PULLED UP AND I WAS FLASHING EVERYONE. So I literally FLASHED GUAT FOR 7 BLOCKS hahahhaah I can't even tell you how many groups of boys we passed on the way there!!!! The worst is that I always walk the same street so they FORSURE will remember me. RIP 

Honestly they have some weird witch craft that goes on here in coatepeque. There are so many sketch things the people have told us. This week a less active member told us that in his house there is a HAUNTED STUFFED BEAR!!! That talks to his daughter at night and yells at her that he's gonna HIT HER AND PINCH HER ahhaahhah He asked us for advice and we told him to BURN IT hahaha #GUATBEAR

I found some gangster from LA that got deported and he started talking to be in engish!! He asked where I was from and I told him california and he was all like ¨GIRL you HECKA out of bounds right now¨ ahhaha TRUE

And to top the week off we had a BAPTISM!!! YAYAYYAY!!!! Kevin got baptized on saturday!! He is so pilas.  He has the goal to go to the temple in one year. He was such a miracle cause he told us the sunday before his baptism that he wanted to get baptized and he did the next saturday! As we taught him the lessons we always asked him how he felt to learn about the topic. He always said that he felt more sure about his decision with every commandment that he learned. I love that he found safety in the commandments. He didn't see them as limits but as  blessings to improve his life. I want to always have that same faith in the commandments of God. Que gozo es bautizar!!!!
