how are all of you
doing!! great!!!! :) well i dont know if you guys know this..but in less than a
week i will see all of your beautiful shining faces...through a blurry computer
screen!!!! ;) PREPARE YOURSELVES PEOPLE!! i have forgotten english.... ;))))))
anywho..i dont have
tooooo much time today bc me and my comp have to go to Reu tonight bc we are
going to the capital tomorrow!!!!..entonces...we have to leave malacatan at
4..its a very long and sickening bus ride... ;) but yeah! lol
so i will get to it!
THIS WEEK WAS AMAZING!!!!! i dont know if you all remember my email after the
stake conference when i wrote about all of the investigators who came!? well 2
of those investigators were baptized and confirmed this weekend!!! YEP THATS
RIGHT!!! their names are Maria and Selvin. its a mom and her son. #story
time.... when i first got here to malacatan the other sisters had only taught
them like 1 or 2 times and the mom was a little sketchy about letting us meet
with her kids, and even less pleased to let them go to church. well as the time
passed and we continued to work with them..they still didnt come to church. but
THEN came general conference, asistence #1, then came the stake conference,
asistence #2, and then 2 weeks ago, asistence #3!!!!!!! the crazy thing is
though, is that when hermana mendoza left, the kids were really sad and werent
really wanting to progress (read, pray, come to church) but the mom still
was!!! and she kept telling us, "i have made my decision to get baptized
and even if they dont right now i am going to" it was so crazy bc she was
the LEAST positive of the 3 of them when i came!!! :) but MIRACLES DO HAPPEN
PEOPLE!!!! :) god has a timetable for EVERYTHING!!!!!
their baptism was so
cool!!!!!! the son got baptized first, and when he walked out of the font..the
mom was crying. she was so happy and told him, "congrats my son, you were
baptized." it was seriously a moment of pure joy!!!!!!!! :))))) she was
also baptized and it was equally joyful! now we are just gonna work with the
daughter to help her! she said she wnts to get baptized but doesnt feel
completely read yet!!! and sunday, they almost gave us a heartache...they
showed up late to church! BUT they came and made it in time to be
confirmed!!!!! :))))) bienvenidos to the newest members of the Malacatan
ward!!! :)
also...this week it
rained so much! i have never seen anything like it!!!! but its also really
pretty!! :) in the letter that presidente ruiz wrote me this week he asked me
what i thought it meant to be a strong missionary!? and he went on to say that
strong missionaries have to suffer so much...heat, rain, stress, and everything
in between! and while that is true...i thought..even though we have to suffer
all of that...the HOT sun of guatemala, the INSANE amount of rain, the STRESS
of investigators..it is NOTHING compared to the things christ had to suffer!
when we suffer..we are "walking shoulder to shoulder with the greatest
life this world has ever known!" I LOVE BEING A
MISSIONARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)))))))
one more thing, this
week we had a multi zone conference. and presidente ruiz talked about the
importance of the sacrament and the sabbath day! IT WAS SO POWERFUL!!!!!!!! i knew
that it was important...but seriously the sacrament is one of the most sacred
things we do!!!!!! :) it should be high priority for us!!! :)...sorry just had
to crack the whip a little ;) hahahahaha im a real missionary now! ;)
i love you all so much
and know that you are working so hard! you all are such great examples for me!
thank you for your love, support, prayers, EVERYTHING!!!! keep being great!!!!
:)))) have a great week and nos vemos a las 7 pm domingo!!!!! :))))
CON MAS AMOR QUE
PUEDEN IMAGINAR,
Hermana Canty
