I love you guys! And here is some news! Hermana Aguilar is so funny! She also hates gringo food... so i guess that means I dont have to share! Way kidding! I really do like sharing!
But ok, here is the deal, we had a meeting or something huge every day last week and had so little time to work... It was nuts.. but, not to worry, we are all fine! We all made it out alive.
Maria del Carmen is doing great, she got confirmed this sunday and she was so scared.. she downed a huge thing of water right before going up there to get confirmed... and she is going to leave with us now to visit and convert other people! She is all sorts of excited! I keep remembering when we challenged her to be baptized and she said, "are you serious, because Im really excited." And she really just did it!
Umm... fine i'll tell you... I am going to be recieving the worst mom in the world award very quickly... why? oh nothing... we just got on a bus on sunday to head up to an aldea like 30 minutes away and when we were almost there I realized that I had no money... awk.. so I asked hna Aguilar if she brought some, she just looked at me, smiled, and said, a tiny bit. So we got up there all right... and then we taught the people we went to teach but it was time to head back and we started getting a little worried... because in total I had about 75 cents... not american cents, guatemala cents, and that is close to nada nada nada... and she only had about 6 quetzales and 15 cents... but we needed 7 to get home.. so I was searching my backpack for all sorts of things that were cool that we could trade for a ride.. turns out i no longer carry cool things. but we explained our problem to the bus man and he hestitated for a little while before letting us go home... over 10 cents guys! I almost had a heart attack! But we made it back just fine! Miracles work! Luckily we are obedient, I dont want to know what would have happened if we werent obedient..
Oh, while we were up there in Santa Maria de Jesus, we taught a very sweet old woman named Delfina and spanish is not her first language... So there were points in the lesson where she just smiled and nodded and said yes. In the end it all worked out, she just ended the lesson with "well I cant get baptized, Im evangelical" and after explaining a few times that its ok, she can change that, we decided to end the lesson.
Angelica is still waiting on her papers to get divorced and then married... but she is super set on getting baptized. It was way cool, we taught her son with her one day and she started shouting her testimony basically and saying how before she just thought that every church was true but then she noticed that they are not all true and now she will never change. She plans on dying in the church. Its pretty awesome to see her bare her testimony.
Jeramias is going to classes on sundays now... but is still pilas... I feel like he will come around very quickly...
Yessenia kind of disappeared.. she doesnt have permission to get baptized... yet...
Francisco is having a hard time committing to going to church, but he reads the Book of Mormon... Lots of prayers would be good for him.
Hna Aguilar is so awesome, she is super thoughtful. She always does little things to help out, even if she doesnt know what is going on right now, she is trying really hard to learn and get it down right. And we bought some good shoes for her and now she is all set to conquer the world.
Did I mention that the one shoes that I didnt like very much when I came are now my favorites? The ones that hurt really bad? Yeah, now they are the best ones. Everybody wants them.
Umm... do you know that I love this gospel? and being a missionary? I think I will do it forever. Yep, I have never been more tired, or more stressed or worried about other people in my whole life. But I have also never been happier! So it all pays off! I think you guys should all come on a mission too. :) Speaking of missions, where is Nate's mission call? Shouldn´t it be coming soon? Im voting for Guatemala City Central mission. The best one in the world!
I love you guys! Be safe and happy and I love you.
Love Hermana Evans
