HELLO FAMILIA!!!!! :)))

como estan!? les quiero mucho!! and thats about it for today ;)

this week was great!! on friday we did divisions with some of the other hermanas! and i was super nervous! bc i had to be in charge of all of the lessons that day! but hermana Jordan came with me! and she is super super awesome!! she is a convert to the church and has had a REALLY interesting conversion story! it was super neat to get to learn from her and see her testimony of the gospel help our investigators! one investigator in particular..Javier! he is 14 and has wanted to be baptized since way before i got here..but his parents havent given him permission yet! welll anyway..we went and talked with his parents..and hermana jordan shared about her life! (her parents didnt want her to get baptized..but they gave her permission and she said she was more grateful for that than anything else in her life) needless to say, their hearts were touched! we are going to see visit them tonight to find out their answer!! IT WAS SO COOL!!!!! :)

also..having 2 wards is super cool! but very tiring haha but yesterday we saw miracles!!! :) we have this investigator, Christian (who we contacted in the street on tuesday!!), and we invited him to come to church but he told us that he had a wedding in reu to go to! so we didnt really think anything of it! well we were sitting in sacrament meeting and all of a sudden i felt a tap on my shoulder..IT WAS CHIRSTIAN!!!! he did go to the wedding because he wanted to come to church! and he came all by himself!! and he stayed for all of the meetings!!!!...WOW!!!! i also screamed when i saw him i was so happy!!!!!!!! we also had 8 investigators in church yesterday with 1 family!!! (and 4 of them have baptismal dates!!) THE MIRACLES OF THE LORD ARE REAL PEOPLE!!!!!!!:)))) 

Well more things happened this week..but i cant remember them all..nor do i have time (sorry lol) but its a good thing i have a journal!! i will be sure to keep writing in it! thank you all for being such great examples to me!! and for your prayers!! keep working hard and remember that i love you!!!

with much love,

Hermana Canty

PS: president ruiz wrote me this quote today, :"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years, but the second best time is NOW!" we shouldnt wait until tomorrow, or until the "time is right" or until the next month to change and do the things we need! :)) I LOVE YOU!!!

Pictures

i really like the one where i am sitting on the ground...this girl didnt want to take a picture but i talked to her about the video (el es la dadiva) for like 10 minutes and asked if we could go visit her! it was a super cool experience!! :)

Hello Hello

well hello my beautiful familia!! :))) 

first things first, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!! :)))) i hope this year brings everything that we all desire, and that we are all ready for the MUCHISIMAS bendiciones que el Señor tiene para nosotros!!! :)))

thirdly, this week was great!! on christmas day we all went to this members house and we made lasagna!! me and my comp went earlier to help the zone leaders make it and it was so much fun..and finally felt like christmas! at around 1 pm we ate lunch and it was super cool because we had the whole zone together on 1 (actually 4) table!!! :) we also did a gift exchange within the zone! which was fun!! :)) after that everyone left to go skype with their famliies! but hermana hernandez and i had some lessons..we went and had some lessons! and then at 7 hermana hernandez talked to her family! they are super cute :)) it was a really good christmas! even though nothing was the same as it usually is for christmas, it was for sure one of my favorite christmases!!!! :))))

also this week was great because we now have 3 investigators with fechas for baptism!!! :)) wilmer (the investigator with the book of mormon..i told you about him when we skyped lol) he just has to talk to his mom and then he can be baptized..and his fecha is for this weekend!! :)) hopefully it all works out and he can take the next step in the gospel!!!! :))) also, Jaime Marroquin! his fecha is the 17 of january!! :)) he is super cool and we had some really good lessons with him this week!!!! his family has gone through like 4 or 5 sets of missionaries, so they already know basically everything! so when we go, we read a lot from the book of mormon! which is always super cool and really spiritual!!! :))) 

this week is going to bring a lot of change...the wards here are splitting into 2..which means that we are now going to be the missionaries over 2 wards..until they bring other missionaries in! but its also kinda cool because we can bring more investigators to church! the only down side is that we will literally spend all day in church and hardly any proselyting! because we have church from 8-11 and from 2-5! i am really excited to see how this goes! and i know the lord has a plan for this area!!! :))))

other than that the week was super calm! i took a ton of pictures..so hopefully you all like them!!! just know that i love each of you so much! and i am seriously blessed to have each of you in my life!! thank you for your example! and dont stop being the great people i know you are!! 

with love from guatemala!!
