Hey!

Family... I´m so sorry. I had an email written but I lost it. Something happened... Here are the answers to the questions and I have to get off.


I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH! YOU¨RE AWESOME!

Answers to questions:
1. We are here in Patzicia, and it has it´s own stake. Some of the outlying areas have wards and branches in the stake, as well as missionaries. There are a TON of members here in the ward, we had 275 people come to church a few weeks ago, that´s awesome, but a little hard for the leaders to support that many people. The members are very loving, but VERY prideful. There are a lot of people that go to church just because that´s what their family does… It´s the custom. Not all members are like this, but a lot. There is a family called the Family Per, and they are INCREDIBLE. I love them so much, they wash our clothes and she cooks our almuerzos. She reminds me of you Mom! Don´t worry, you´re not replaced… But the lord has been blessing me a lot.
2. Sorry for not sending a lot of pictures, that´s something I need to do better. I´ll see what I can do! Our new house is a lot better… The toilets flush with the switch, (the others in the other house you have to just dump a bucket of water in the toilet after and that´s how it flushes… haha). The showers are pretty good, and Elder Arias and I are just enjoying it.
3. Elder Arias is an awesome missionary, an awesome worker. I love Elder Arias and we´re working way hard. We saw the best numbers I remember seeing this week in Patzicia.
4. If the Guatemalans have a siesta time we aren´t allowed to know about it… haha We work all day long.
5. Transfers are the 12 of July… SO if I get changed I won´t be able to see Brother Redd… But i´m about 95 percent sure i´ll still be here in Patzicia.
6. I heard that Elder Hautau is an AWESOME missionary. I haven´t seen him for a while but i´ve heard he´s speaking Spanish, is really obedient and is working hard. Elder Misini is just an awesome missionary like he always has been.
7. I miss the baptizing that goes on in the city, but I LOVE the mountains. I´ve fallen in love with Patzicia and the way of life here, I´m going to miss it when I get changed. The work is a lot different, but we´ve still been able to see some fruits of the work in seeing some Less-Active and Inactive families start coming again, it´s been incredible. We don´t have too many investigators… That´s our big challenge right now, trying to find new investigators! There are a lot of people here that just don´t even want to give it a chance… But we´re finding the people who will!
8.You don´t need to worry about sending any more medicine or anything like that, I´m doing ok! Ama Ama is my favorite, and if it isn´t too big of a hassle you can keep sending that, as well as granola. I love granola. Licorice sounds good too. I´ve forgotten all of the good stuff there is at home! It probably wouldn´t hurt to send some protein if there is space. Maybe just a bunch of burnt church CD´s would be awesome in a little pouch? You really don´t need to worry about sending me too much, it´s ok!
