Adventures and stuff

Hola Everyone!🙋 

Sorry for not writing last week. I was going to try to find some time during the week to send something, but it ended up not happening. For now, things are going really well here in Mision Guatemala Retalhuleu. We have big goals and we are receiving lots of blessings. 

Nancy is starting to really enjoy church. Margarita (the mother) pretty much told us that she doesn´t want anything to do with the church after a pastor visited her from some Evangelical Church, but we haven´t lost faith with her. Luckily we have some good members in this ward that are really supporting the work. 

Last Monday, I wasn´t able to write because I had to go with Elder Wilcox to San Marcos, aka. the mountains, to pick up some equipment. On the way to get to the zones that are in the mountains, we actually have to leave our mission boundaries and pass into the Quetzaltenango (Xela) Mission. We pass through Quetzaltenango as well, which is pretty big in comparison to Retalhuleu. There´s even a Walmart there so I guess it´s a bit more modern. 

I´m going to attach a bunch of pictures I took when we went to San Marcos. A lot of them came out really blurry because the car was moving and because the roads here have lots of potholes and speedbumps.

Well that´s all I have for this week. Today we just ran some errands around the house, went grocery shopping, and got haircuts, and the barber cut my sideburns way too short so that´s kind of embarassing. Hope nothing of the sort happens to any of you this week! Have a great week, everybody!!
