Wow, I just finished my 11 week in the field! Crazy how fast time has gone bye. Ive learned so much about myself, others, the Gospel, pretty much life in general. This next week training will be done and we have changes, which I have no idea what will happen but I trust in the Lord.
This week we had a baptism interview scheduled for Rodrigo, a 9 year old boy in Paxajtup. His dad came up to us one day and asked us to teach and prepare his son for babtism, so we worked with them for quite a while. Our district leader and Elder Andy went to do the interview but, as it turns out, Rodrigo was only 8 so he only needed an interview from the bishop. I felt kind of bad for our district leader but the important thing is that we helped prepare Rodrigo for baptism.
Jackson and Killer the dog
Rodrigo and his family
I spent the day of the interview in San Bartolo with Elder Flake. We had a great time teaching some less actives, contacting, and teaching seminary. We walked up to an aldea about 30 minutes away and found this dog, just the biggest dog ever. Some boy came out to talk to us with a little cast on his arm, the dog bit him that morning! Apparently they call the dog, "killer", so I stayed my distance from that thing. We contacted a little more, met some great future investigators. To top it all off, a member gave us some chow mein after seminary haha which was really good. San Bartolo is such a cool place, its a tough area but Its still really cool.
The next day we hiked to Paxajtup and performed the babtism for Rodrigo. The members in Paxajtup are pretty much all one big family of like 80 people. The chapel over there is gigantic! The babtism was amazing and I had the chance to confirm him a member. Rodrigo was smiling so much and so happy to be babtized afterwards. Great day.
Well, wish we luck on this next week. Theres a chance I could train somewhere but I dont know if or where, but I should know this next Thursday. Wednesday we have interviews with president which will be really great to have a one on one with him. Thats about all from here in Guate, adios!
