Wow it’s already December I can
hardly believe it! We are doing some pretty great things here in Guatemala.
There is this sweet video the church put out called “He is the Gift” and we are
inviting everyone to watch this video because it is TAN BUENO! So if you haven’t
seen it, Watch it! Good things have been happening and the challenges come but
that’s just how life goes as a missionary right?
I hope
you all remember the reason why we celebrate Christmas is for Christ and to
remember him. The majority of people here are Evangelicos and they are Christian
but they don't believe in Christmas as a Holiday because they feel it is too
worldly. Most people who we give the cards for this video ask us why we
celebrate Christmas because it isn't in the bible. It is hard to get them to
understand sometimes but it has helped me remember that this Holiday is to
remember our Savior Jesus Christ and his birth and all that He has done for us!
It's been a bit of a struggle but we
have still had many lessons that we believe could lead somewhere. The spirit is
strong in all of our lessons and I certainly have help with the language from
the spirit. Sometimes I get a little discouraged when someone just looks at me
and when I ask them a question they continue to stare and then finally say No
Entendi. But that's part of learning the language and that is starting to
happen less often! The gift of Tongues is real but it doesn't happen overnight
as I am beginning to learn! I may not be able to speak well but I can
understand everything that others are saying now so I can tell that is part of
the gift of tongues that has kicked in!
I learned one of the hardest things
yet for me in this area yesterday. I learned how to tortillear! I didn't learn
how to make the batter for tortillas that will be next week, this week I
learned how to pat tortillas and I still do not have it perfected it is quite
the art! Because you don't want to have a tortilla that breaks easy and it
needs to be perfectly round! It was quite fun and I can't wait to show you all
one day when I become a professional!
Yo Quiero que todos de Ustedes sepan
que tengo un testimonio de este Evangelio. Tal Vez no hablo muy bien y este
mensaje no es perfecto también. Pero se que Dios Nos ama y desea que tomemos de
este mensaje y perseveremos hasta el fin! Les Amo!
