Holy Cannoli....This was a crazy-awesome week. As the
temperature slowly climbs, the excitement levels seem to skyrocket. I mean, I`m
not exactly sure where to start!
First things first I guess: The Lord is blessing Jutiapa as
if it were the Promised Land...even though the milk here tastes horrible and I
haven´t had any honey for like...a year...(old testament joke/reference, it was
funnier in my head). We have investigators! We have people getting ready for
baptism! And every time we invite someone/challenge them, they accept! This
week we challenged 11 people to be baptized and all of them said that they
would!
Woah.
I think I already said it last week but....I am absolutely
in love with Jutiapa the people are super nice, the area is....hot...but big
and incredible. Elder Vieira was talking to me yesterday, saying that he never
ever wants to leave here for the rest of his mission.
And even though I`ve only been here for 2 weeks....I totally
agree.
It`s the Promised land, I`m telling you.
In other awesome news, yesterday my branch united with the
other branch in Jutiapa and we became the biggest ward in the entire stake.
After 50 years of the church existing here, progress was made! Bishop Valdez
was called during sacrament meeting with 200 in attendance.
That`s a lot of people.
The spirit is strong here in Jutiapa.
I am so excited to keep going this week!
Love you all! -Elder Monson
