Grindstone

HOLA!

Great week! I love this country and these people! Here are some fun things going on...

      This week a 70 came to talk to us! Elder Ochoa. He is so wise! We learned so much about how to be the best and most obedient missionaries we can be while we are here. We have been struggling to find people to teach! The rain makes all the Guatemalans hide in their little houses and so we have been just trying to talk to anyone we can! While we were studying we read in 1st Nephi 20... and in verse 10 it talks about how we are being refined in the furnace (more like freezer) of affliction. Our mission president told us that life (or the mission) is a grindstone. And it is up to us if we are ground down or polished. I loved that so much because as we rely on the Lord and do all we can to serve Him and His children, we can be refined and polished! 

     Monday was Independence Day and we saw some sweet fireworks! Oh and 100s of these things called tuk tuks... they are like mini car things.... all dolled up in Guatemalan colors. Hermana Weatherford and I celebrated with good ole American pizza. 

       

    Rooster update..... The thing is hilarious. It knows exactly when I am going to pray or sleep or have one minute of silence... and it knows how to make sure that silence does not happen. Hahaa. I love it! 

We are praying for miracles and we know that they come! Please pray for the people we teach and know that I am praying for you,too. I know that this gospel is true and that when we sincerely search for the truth, we can find it. I love the Lord and I love you all so much. Thank you for all you are.
