My learning opportunities this week
came from Divisions with the Zone Leaders where I went to their area to work
for the day and learned all the tips and tricks of Elder Malacara. I have
learned how to contact people tons better and it`s improving all other areas of
the work which is awesome. The other learning opportunity came from Stake
Conference. The general authorities prepared a special conference for
GUATEMALA!! That`s where I am!! It was super cool. We got to watch it in
English and the funny thing was that they had to have a translator to translate
it to English because the conference was in Spanish!! Hahaha too funny! We got
to hear from Elder Bednar though and that was in English which was so awesome.
He talked about consecrating yourself to the Savior which means dedicating
yourself fully and it was really interesting. It was super fun to see all the
other missionaries too!!
My personal prayers I always say in
English but sometimes I say some words in Spanish and I have to correct myself
and I`m always like oh no what is happening to me hahaha!!
The rat I think has left us.... I`m
not really sure but we haven`t heard anything for a while so either he found a
place to camp out or he left.... I often check my food storage just to be sure!
Who has touched my life...probably
our ward mission leader Hno. Martinez. He is the nicest guy in the world and he
truly has a love for the work. He is always asking us what he can do to help us
and everything. We had our weekly missionary meeting this last Friday to
discuss how our investigators are doing and everything and at the end of the
meeting he told us how he thinks that we are as close to perfect as a human
being can get…that missionaries to him are perfect. He shed a few tears and
that really impacted me.
Someone`s life that I have touched I
think would be Hno. Melvin`s because he`s always so excited to see me and he
always listens so intently to what I have to say and I`m always super excited
to see him because he is always super excited to see me!! Hahaha!
Showers. Oooof. I have forgotten
what a warm shower feels like. I have literally gotten accustom to jumping into
a freezing cold shower every morning and wow that is not fun. It`s alright
though. It's a little bit short for me but not too bad.
It`s hard for me to think about snow
in this weather... I just can`t picture anything but the blazing sun. That`s
crazy that winter is starting...time for a blanket and the heater! Wow! I
miss that!
Thanksgiving is right around the
corner…I will definitely let you know if we find a feast to join for Thanksgiving!
I’m thankful for all of you!
Love,
Elder Lott
