This week something sad happened in Choqui. One of the members in our branch had their baby pass away. We didn't know what was going on but we were walking as usual and saw tons of people coming to this house. I was confused but we walked in and our branch president explained what was going on. It was realy interesting, gathered in the house was literally 95 percent of the people of Choqui. Investigators, non members, everyone. We had a little lunch then went as a town to the burial. They actually had me give a priesthood blessing over the grave which was something super unique and special. As I stood there I looked around at everyone and thought it was really cool to see the whole town together. Certainly a day I will not forget!
On Saturday we had English classes at the church, guess who came_ Hector Torrez, remember him_ You probably dont because we contacted him nearly a month ago but he brought his family. We showed him all around the church and taught an amazing lesson about the Gosepl of Christ. We challenged the family to be babtized and they seemed fairly certain that they would. The Spirit was thick in the room and I knew the could feel it. Really awesome experiecne.
Oh, and one more thing... BAUTISMO! We held the babtismal service for Sixto on Saturday evening. He is a really funny dude, we still have to work with him a ton but I could tell something different about him after his babtism. I loved the service and could feel an amazing spirit in the room. He comes from a family where the dad wants to be babtized but only after all the kids are. Weve got 3 more, lets go!
Well, thats about all from here in Guatemala. Its been a lot of hard work, lots of challenging times but babtizing and helping other people whenever we can makes it all worth it. I love serving, its awesome! Adios!
