My digestive system can't do this anymore hahaha
This week we were contacting a really nice lady! We saw that she was sweeping her "front yard" (basically just the street) and we offered to help her pick up all the trash and she said no because she was going to dump it all in the river AHAHAH she has the prettiest river right next to her house and I CRINGED watching her dump POOPY DIAPERS and USED TOILET PAPER into he RIVER hahhaha but thats how you live #guatlife Honestly there is a littering problem here hahaha
So we were visiting a girl who was going to join the church and get baptized. The only problem was that her husband was SUPER abusive and she didnt know what to do. So we straight up gave her advice to run away and we didnt think she would actually do it until we went to her house to visit her and her husband answered the door (I was so freaked out by him hahaha) he asked us why we were there and we told him we were there to visit his wife. And then he told us how she ran away to MEXICO with their 4 kids!!!!!! I was SHOCKED. Then he was like i dont know why she would ever run away from me and I was like UHHHH cause you ABUSE HER!!! (I didnt say that) but basically we broke up a marriage and I dont know if I should feel bad about it or not hahaha #GUATWOMANPOWER
A lot of times people dont let us give lesson in their house so we give them on the street. So my comp, the person we were teaching, and the member we brought were sat on the side walk. There wasnt enough room on the side walk so I was sat on the cobble stone street where all the SPEEDING CARS PASS!! We were finishing up the lesson with a prayer and I had to close my eyes while sitting on the road with a TON of cars!!! I said that prayer with my eyes WIDE OPEN hahaha im sure the person we were teaching saw me and was super confused hahaha during that prayer like 4 huge semi trucks passed and we heard gun shots in the next street over hahahha sketchiest prayer I have ever given. Honestly I almost always have my eyes cracked open during the prayer just to make sure no one trys to steal something from me ahhaah #livingonaGUATprayer
well like I said my digestive system is done with guatlife. We got fed COW STOMACH this week. I seriously can't explain on any level what it was like. But what I can say is it smelt like cow breath and was sooooo SO CHEWY like I felt like I was choking as I swallowed it. The whole time I ate it I had tears in my eyes cause SO grossed out but I had to eat it for the people that gave me it. I ended up cutting the stomach into pill size bites and swallowed each piece like a pill so it didn't even TOUCH my TASTE BUDS AHAHA the stomach didn't get me sick but the NEXT DAY someone gave us a pepper covered in egg whites stuff with cheese and SHRIMP hahaha My stomach was so confused. I have had a stomach ache since then. Parasites round 4 here we come! #GOURMENTGUAT
This week was awesome cause we were able to share the book of Mormon with SO many people. As we were sharing 3 Nephi 11 (the chapter when Christ visits the Americas) with guatemalan historian he told us about an ancient mayan story that a white god named "gucumz". He said that they don't know a ton about him cause the people from Spain burned a lot of the religious records of the mayas. But he said that everything that the book of Mormon says about christs visit in the Americas lines up perfectly with the information we do have about the mayans visit with the "white god". I know without a doubt that the Book of Mormon is true. I know it is the tool to prepare us for the second coming of the messiah. The Book of Mormon is another testament of the life of Jesus Christ. God loves us. That's why he has sent us more of HIS word. I invite all of us to read the book of Mormon and the bible everyday to be better prepared for the second coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Con amor,
Hermana Salisbury
