No, I'm not tryn'a lead you on

Aaron's district at the Christmas Zone Conference

No kidding, it's January here too.. oh, and Martin Luther King Day as well. Tomorrow I will have 14 months. You know I don't actually know what weather is like anymore, ni siquira know when there are changes in the season. I think it depends on where you are in Guatemala. If you're in the capital, May June and July is winter but here in Polochic it's later, and it' s just starting to be winter in Petén. So pretty much that means nothing, idk. Sounds like you're going to have a fun week with Rozzi dog, and Eliza and Jeff will have fun in Hawaii. Livin' on da beach like everyone wants. So Dad wants to go to Guatemala, alright. Do it. Hey, we might baptize this girl named María Elisia in 13 days, 'cause she lives with Rosalina, Lorena, and Leter. She wants to get baptized. We just have to ask her dad (he works in the Capital), but I think it will happen. She's been coming to church for a while now (walking 2 hours each way). The other people I don't think will be baptized for a while. Waldemar wasn't sincere, and Miguel Ramon couldn't come to church last week ,but I think we'll wait till he's 18 years old before we'll baptize him (which is in like a month and a half). Um... Mom, of course I still speak Spanish, I have to speak with Latinos every day. I only have one book that is in English and Q'eqchi. I mostly just read Los Principios del Evangelio (Principals of the Gospel) and Li XB'EENIL NA'LEB RE LI EVANGELIO together, Spanish and Q'eqchi. I am happy. I'm having a hard time right now with some things, but I'm looking more at all the good things I have that God has given me. I like being here, even though it's super frustrating sometimes, but it's going good. Thanks to those of you who are praying for me.
Love Aaron

I'm back 3peat

How do you know that I'm writing in my journal? Pedometers are cool. Some days I wish I had one 'cause we walk really far everyday. I am so happy Rachel Kime is going on a mission! Who would have thought, right? Well, what's currently happening is the Latino sitting next to me is typing faster with one finger than I am with ten. Today we are in Elestor, and I ate an amazing burrito today. My companion and I went to the furthest area in our area two days ago, and everyone was rich and spoke Spanish. Like thee furthest I have ever gone so far. It was cool. Ummmm... yeah, Waldemar came to church, and we are going to go teach him on Wednesday. We set a baptismal date with another 17 year old kid (Miguel), and they both came to church yesterday, so thatssss goood. A lot of people came to church yesterday (58) the most ever. Anyways, not a lot else is happening. Have a good week!!!
Love Aaron

It-be-that-it-be-that GIRL

Ahhhh, going to church at 9:00 is SUCH a drag! I can't believe I'll have to go to church that early! Oh wait, that's what time church is here... even though it almost always starts 40 minutes late. Tell Bob and Ruth thanks for the money, and Gail Jordison as well. I really appreciated it. This week was super tiring, and I'm falling asleep right now, but yesterday we got a lot of people to church (54) and we had our best investigator in church. I taught the Young Men /Young Women, and I pretty much just taught the first lession. I talked about how God has always called prophets and how Christ set up the church and how the church was restored. Then I talked about how we have to do things the same way Christ did them. I had my picture book (most valuable teaching resource ever made) and showed the picture of how Christ got baptized, and how the apostles received the priesthood. Then I showed the modern day baptism pictures and I asked, ''So you all got baptized like this right?'' I showed the pictures of the kids receiving the Holy Ghost. I then said, ''K, raise your hand if you got baptized in water and then received the Holy Ghost like this.'' Everyone raised their hands, (except for our investigator: Waldemar*) so I just bore my testimony of baptism, and then said to Waldemar, ''Everyone here has been baptized like this, and it's super important to be able to enter into heaven, so.. we're going to be having a baptismal service on this day....will you follow the example of Jesus Christ by being baptized in Lix Paab'aal Li Jesukristo Reheb' Laj Tikilal Sa' Roso'jikeb' Li Kutan.'' Eehe chan (yes)! O. K., sweet. So that was the best thing that's happened this week. On the flip side, during our P-day activity, a Sister Missionary had a seizure and it was pretty scary. She's fine now, but I thought she was going to die. I'd never seen anything like that before. We gave her a blessing, and she doesn't remember anything.
Anyways I'm out of time, but much love,
Aaron
