1/2!

Well I hit 9 on Wednesday. That's halfway. Can you believe it? I'm halfway done with the mission! Time truly has flown by so freaking fast. I don't feel like it's been so long. But here I am! 

Anyway my lovely people I would like to tell a story. This week had a really cool experience. As always there's good days and bad days here on the mission. This week we had a relatively depressing day where it felt like we were just walking all day and the lessons that weren't canceled were just difficult. Sometimes it just feels like, "What's the point? I want to go home and sleep forever. "But then we went to see a jovencito open his mission call. The usual grand fanfare that I did not have when I opened mine. But before the kid opened it, the stake pres bore his testimony about how being able to serve a mission is a privilege and a blessing. And it just hit me. Even though I had a terrible day where I just wanted to lay down and die, I wouldn't change it. I'd still want to be here out on the mission. Because it truly is a privilege. I get to meet so many people and teach them what it means to find true joy and happiness. It's a blessing for me and my family. I'm growing spiritually every single day and I know that I'm being protected and my family as well while I'm out here in Guate. And even though it's hard it's one of the most fulfilling things I've ever done in my entire life. There might be slightly downtroddening days because of my lack of Spanish or because people simply don't want to listen. Pero sin embargo I have never been happier in my entire life. I just love it out here on the mission. It's hard but it's worth it. Anyway that was a weird random thought that I wanted to share with you people this week.

In other news.... seeing as this week was several days shorter there isn't a whole bunch to tell. More like I don't really have any pics. Sorry! But I saw a 2 day old baby cat, and many beautiful views, and with the ton of rain we've had this week I've almost stepped on several dead toads. I've yet to see a live one. Just dead ones on their backs with their guts hanging out. So that's pleasant. I don't get it. Anyway continuing on...I played soccer and made 2 goals! That was an achievement considering I'm playing with people who've been playing literally their entire lives all day every day. I still suck at it but I'm getting better. And in fin I have a fun quote for you people! Some senora to her son, "Ella esta chula, va?"The son, "Bye! I love you!"<------- Bye! I love you! Till next week!

P.S. Remember you won't hear from me until the 5th of September!
