9 October 2017



I'm sorry I didn't get to write to you last week, they made me go to Guatemala city to sign my visa on p day, and I didn't get a chance to use a computer.


We haven't baptized anyone yet, but we have two planned for this weekend. One is Tyler. I don't really know him; his brother just came up to us one day and asked us to help him organize a baptism.  It was a pretty awesome miracle. The other one is Carlos, he is 11. And we have been teaching him and his family for a little while.  I think they missionaries before me had one lesson with him and his grandmas. We seriously have a miracle every other day, it is so awesome.  Maybe I'll just tell you about the ones that get baptized though, cause I still don't have a lot of time to write.


But I need to tell you this story real quick. We were teaching these 3 kids we found in the streets, they are awesome investigators by the way.  We were teaching them it the street at like 8 o'clock.  Not many people were out. This drunk guy comes up. He said,  "So you guys are the Jehovah's Witnesses right?" (in English) and we were like "no were the Mormons" (in Spanish) and he was like "I didn't come all the way out here so you could talk to me in Spanish, I'm from new york. but I want to know what you all believe. Do you believe Jesus is the Son of God?"  And then we answered some questions real fast, and he walked off. I said we'd be happy to answer more questions if you have them. but he said, "I doubt you can find me, I live way out in the hood!!!!!"


There are a lot of drunk guys out and about, especially in the evening, it isn't uncommon to find them sleeping on the sidewalk. The other day we contacted a lady in the street and we were interrupted by a drunk guy.  So I pulled him to the side so my companion could keep teaching the lady.  Then I gave him a pamphlet, taught him a thirty-second lesson about Jesus, and asked him if he wanted to be baptized... just for fun.  Then he walked away. It was so funny though.
