Jesse in Guatemala: 18 Months in a Skirt!: I'M PLAYING BASKETBALL!!

Hola!!

This week was great!

We decided to visit a family that we stopped visiting because they kept making excuses, but they let us in and they are on board to hear our words again! They are so great, but very evangelica so who knows! They are teaching us how to make tortillas too so dont worry world, I'm bringing them home! haha

Well we have a new district and more elders cause they added more people. Its fun! I miss my old district though...

We have one investigator that Ive talked about her before; her name is maribella...and her whole family listens to us. They dont speak spanish as their first language and neither do we..soo I think they just like staring at gringas and asking what america is like. I just tell them about the hamburgers. haha

I got to play basketball with the relief society sisters...yes I was like two feet taller but thats okay! I played in my skirt..whoops...but it was so fun! They are actually suprisingly good!! So it was just so fun!! We completed the night with a Guatemalan bbq...do miss those barbequed hotdogs but thats okay!

We have been working hard as usual, but not a lot has happened this week! There is a mormon message about a talk that President Uchdorf gave about a man who goes on a cruise, but he stays in his room the whole time because he doesn't have any more money. He brought his own food and just stayed in his cabin the whole time, doing his laundry and eating out of cans he brought on board. At the end a worker comes into ask which party he will be attending for the final night and he responded and said none because he doesn't have any money. The worker responds saying that everything on board, including food is included and its all free. The man missed out on everything he could have had because he stayed in his room. This gospel offers so many blessings. Don't stay in your rooms, get out there and enjoy the free blessings of the gospel!!! Promise you its worth it!

Love you!!
