Ok we had a horrible experience this week with some guy we were teaching hahaha He is SUPER old probably like 70 years old. We finished the lesson and he asked if he could take a picture OF us hahahah I was like UH lets just take one all together! And he was like ok so he opened his phone and HAD INAPPROPRIATE PICTURES!!!!! I was like UMMM lets get out of here. So he kept trying to force to take selfies with him so we just booked it hahaha Im sure he might have been upset but he was CREEPY!!!! #guatpredador
So as we were walking to just we got a call that the bishop wanted to talk with us. When we got to the church with 5 minutes to spare and he told us we were speaking. COOL hhahahah so we were the 2 main speakers and I got to wing it for 15 minutes in spanish ahhaha.
So this week we had a BAPTISM!!! His name is Antonio. He is SO dedicated. He lives so far away that he has to walk 2 hours to take a bus to the church. But this sunday we went to his house with all the members. On the way there he got off the bus and BOUGHT stuff in a small store (tienda) IN FRONT OF ALL OF THE MEMBERS!! They were all asking us "did you teach him that we cant buy on Sundays" ahhahaah We totally did but I think he just forgot. #GUATjudgement
JUST MY LUCK my camera broke. It couldn't make it ONE MORE MONTH hahaha So we aren't sure what happened but on Saturday it just stopped working. So I sent it to get looked at and they said that it needs a special part replacement that is only found in big cities/ countries like the UNITED STATES hahhahaha I have SUCH bad luck. SO i won't have a camera for my last month but a really nice member from our ward is gonna let me borrow her camera until I go home! #GUATISSOBEHIND
So we met a gringa that literally lives here. I was so confused. The first thing I asked her was WHY she would CHOSE to live in GUAT??? hahaha she is like a super hippy so she said she wants to help all the people in guat feel the love. I was like good luck I've been doing that for 18 months hahaha But it was super random to meet a girl from Iowa here in guat hahaha
Our area is HUGE. So huge that we don't even know where it ends hahaha but we decided to explore one part called pacaya because we had received a reference from church headquarters (FIRST TIME IN MY MISSION) So of course we went looking. Our only address was "unknown road of pacaya" and it's like the BIGGEST most spread out pueblo ever so we just started asking random people if they knew Osman Mejia. Nobody had a clue!!! So we chose a random dirt road and started walking. We got about 2 or 3 miles in and decided to ask a nice family if they knew osman and they didn't know either. We kinda lost hope at that point and realized that we couldn't find him in this HUGE town without god's guidance.I told my comp that we weren't going to lunch until we found him. hahaha We prayed on that dirt road and then pondered about where we needed to search. We felt impressed to just keep walking. We only got about .5 miles when I felt a force move me to ask ONE more hermana. when I asked she said she wasn't sure but that maybe he lived in the next house over. I was so happy that we ran to the next house and asked if they knew OSMAN MEJIA ahahaha and she was like oh he is my brother!!!! WOW honestly I know that when we call down the powers of heaven they COME DOWN. I am so thankful to live to see miracles.
Con amor,
Hermana Salisbury
