First Week of the Transfer

 ---Tuesday--- Elder Chaj

My new companion is Elder Chaj. He's from a small town near the Mexican border in Guatemala. He's short but full of spirit. We started this transfer out by going out and contacting for 4 hours straight.  He got to know the area more as well

---Uhhhh---
Well, for the rest of the week I had strange chest pains. It would hurt alot and the not at all and yeah.... that went on for a couple of days, fast forward----

---Sunday--- Doctor Visit
We went and visited the doctor on Sunday. After alot of tests they found nothing. Absolutely nothing. We went back to our area and finished off the day....

---Monday--- "Ayuda!!!" (Help!)
We were walking in the street today when we heard someone else crying out for help. We initially thought it was a joke until we saw the blood. She was bleeding from her head. We went and found a member that lived near by, called an ambulance, it was this big whole thing. We found her before anyone else and good thing we did because that was alot of blood.

---Spiritual Thought--- 
Well, I found this video on The Saints Channel App. It's from the series Hope Works. They are just inspiring messages. This one is about following Spiritual prompting no matter how weird they are. 

We need to follow the spirit and do what God wants us to do. You never know how much your life can change if you follow the promptings of the Holy Ghost.

Pictures with Details

Still no letter from Chaz this week, but we talked with him after he sent a bunch of pictures. Here are some of the photos with explanations: Elder Bahr and Elder Jarman at a river near their house. Cooling off in the water. No swimming! Elder Jarman teaching members how to make French Toast Teeter break during the day. There was a whole rabbit cooking thing, not sure if this is rabbit or not. Making corn - said it tastes like popcorn. Skinning and eating rabbit. Chaz says it tasted amazing.

Teaching, Music, Lessons and a Baptism

  Monday Spent the morning at the mission office. Bussed back and did my email and phone call. Played some basketball at the church. I'm not great at making 3pt shots but up close I'm decent. Tuesday - Got another baptism date We had district council and lunch with the district. There was a small restaurant? bar? behind a sweet shop. We had pollo chuco again. (Chicken covered  with sauces)  We taught this investigator, Esperanza who couldn't read but has been taught the lessons and wants to know if the church is true. She's currently having issues because her family and her family's pastor have been pressuring her not to go to church.  After the lesson we did her dishes using one of the outdoor "sinks". It was a large basin filled with water and had a ledge where you could wash your dishes. You get clean water from the basin, wash the dish, and you deposit the dirty water on the ledge because it had a drain.  Later that day we visited an inactive family wh...

Last Week (this is late, from the last week of October)

  ---Baptism--- We had the baptism of Nayeli on Sunday. She had been an investigator for a very long time (since last December) and many missionaries had given up on her. The entire ward attended which was great. We ran out of cake and there wasn't enough seating for everyone. It was great to see her take that step ---Another Baptism--- We attended the baptism of the bishop's daughter on Monday as well. The baptism doesn't count for us, but it's still great to see another baptism for the ward. We were able to help with the prep for it which was fun. We had to tape a mop to a broom to get the door open (hard to fill the font without the keys to it but we managed) ---Spiritual Thought--  But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. John 14:6  I really like this scripture because of how well it describes the Holy Ghost. He helps us ...
