This week has been a really good one. The area here is way different than my last. People stay in a lot, so we have to get creative with contacting. The members of the church here are so sweet and I love our little ward!
Hermana Weatherford and I are teaching this sweet girl named Jocelyn. She is 12 and wants to get baptized but cant yet because of some permission issues. She is so sweet and we are really praying to soften the hearts of her family. We brought them Tamales and so we hope that is helping the softening proccess. I ...once again.. am reminded how blessed I am to have parents that allowed me to get baptized in this church. I cannot imagine life without it and I know without a doubt it is true and that God loves us.
This week we faced some trials and we turned to the Book of Mormon and read in Alma 17. If you are struggling, go read that chapter! I promise you will love it. When we read it, we realized that when we are faced with trials, it is just a chance for us to prove how strong we are. So we are ready for whatever comes this week!
Here are some fun things going on...
-We wake up to a literal rooster everyday! It is in our neighbors backyard and it is just like from the movies....
-It is COLD! SO cold. Freeeeezingg.... mmm... We wear 7 layers of shirts and leggings with our skirts! Never thought Guatemala would be cold!!!
-We helped some people out of a car that flipped right behind us! Then got to share the gospel which was great!
-We saw a huge trianchula¿ (BIG spider) in our house when we woke up the other day and it is safe to say we were not tired anymore....
I love you all and I love this gospel. I know that the Savior can help us through all of our trials and I hope you know that when you need Him, He is always there. Pray and you can know that you are not alone.
Thank you for everything.
Hermana Cornelison
