It never ceases to blow my mind every
time I hear from our living prophets. And this Wednesday’s venture into the
heart of the Capital City was no different. Elder Quinten L. Cook of the Quorum
of the 12 apostles had arrived to meet with a few of the Stake Presidents and
other leaders of the church here in Guatemala...including the Missionaries!
And to start off the meeting, Elder
Cook stood at the pulpit and announced that he wanted to shake the hand of
every missionary present, a buzz of excitement shot over the crowd of over 700
missionaries. And with the translation delay, when it was announced in Spanish
the exact same thing happened.
One by one, the apostle took every
one of us by the hand and looked into our eyes, until all present were given
the opportunity. We were then addressed by him and Elder Soares of the 70.
Elder Cook talked about the 4 steps to successful missionary work:
1. Love the People
2. Love your Companion
3. Love your Mission President
4. Love your Savior, Jesus Christ
It was an incredible meeting, and
after seeing many friends from over the entire course of my mission, from the
MTC untill...now!
And now, being a very important
milestone! This Friday I finished off the first 6 months! I did a division with
my good buddy Elder Huntsman to celebrate (and to work too) As tradition
dictated, we both burned a tie to commemorate the day.

I had already selected the
specimen, a tie I bought for 5 quetzales at the Megapaca over 2 months
ago.
As for what´s on the horizion? We
have a wedding coming up on the 8th and....
...that´s about it.
Everybody keeps telling me that I´m
probably going to get transfers, which has infected me with a case of Cabin
Fever.
That´s okay though...I’m doing
pretty good...I just have the spirit of Adventure! All I want to do now, is
explore somewhere!
...I guess I´ll just have to wait 3
weeks...
