Moving Forward With Elder Bento

Another good week as always. I can't believe that it's already been a week since I talked to you guys. Anyways a lot has happened so let's see where to start.

My new companion is named Elder Bento. He is from Brazil and he has just a little over a year in the mission. He is totally going to teach me portugues. Vou voltar para a casa falando tres idiomas!!! Ha yeah it's pretty cool. We're working harder than ever but this week was a bit tough. With the changes and everything we basically had to re-establish ourselves in the area. We should have good success and it's obvious that my companion is a really good worker cause he climbed to zone leader with only a year.

So we've been working with with a few people this week. We had 8 investigators in church which is cool. The only thing is that they were basically all young men and women. Hey I'm not saying that's a bad thing because I love coming past their room and seeing it filled up. The only thing is that I really want to find a family. We have a couple who are potentials but we don't have any that are progressing. We are going to be working on that this week.

Hna. Odilma got confirmed yesterday!!! I actually feel really bad cause we got to the sacrament meeting late because we had to go bring another investigator so we came as they were singing the sacramental hymn....and missed the confirmation. Man I was sad but she understood. It's her birthday on wednesday and my companion and I are planning something special. Maybe we'll get a piñata or somthing. Also that day we have a meeting with President Stay so that should be fun. It will be one of our last meetings with him before he leaves.

Anyways this week also my time is short. My workshop about family history went awesome! No one believed me that I was related to Christopher Layton though. They said I just looked up whatever man with our last name and then invented stories hahaha. Finally I was able to kinda convince them that it was true but yeah it was cool. We also did some fun activities.

So anyways that's life down here in Guatemala. And Mom don't worry about it it will be cool to fly up and see everyone in the airport there. Man I can't believe how close that is.....it's really freaking me out. I don't want to leave. That's when the real life begins...Well everything I've learned here really has prepared me for the things that come. Have a good week family!!!!! Love you guys.
