This week was pretty great though! We had a multi zona meeting in San Marcos this Tuesday. Man, it was amazing! First of all, it was such an amazing temperature. Since it was in San Marcos which is in the mountains it was the perfect temperature to be wearing my long sleeve shirt and suit... Which is usually just the combination of sweltering heat and slow death. The conference was fantastic! But also kind of sad because it was the AP´s last day on the mission. I was really good friends with both of them who both only have a few hours drive home to different parts of Guatemala! Also one of the greatest lunches ever was at the conference! PIZZA!!! With WINGS!!! I ate almost a whole pizza because there was so much! I think it was one of the first times I've had pizza in the whole mission. Also, I enjoyed showing all the missionaries how to eat wings. Special thanks to Montrell Moore for teaching me. On the way home, it was super exciting because all of our zone was in a little van, and right as we stopped to drop off the first companionship one of our tires melted and popped. So we were on the side of the road for a while while the driver let the brakes cool down and could put on the spare. It was clearly a miracle that the tire popped as we were stopped and not as we were driving!
But we got home safely and went to work! UHHHHH!!!! Memphis tied not good! Still praying hard for BYU!) Alright, so some other things that happened this week was we did a toooonnn of service! We moved out our best investigatores that were moving to San Marcos so that was tough. Then another day we helped a member move houses. The next day we went and degrained a costal de Maize (just know that a costal is a toooonnnn!!!! My fingers were hurting for a few days after.) We're still teaching a lot of people and looking always for others. It's tough because it seems like everyone we teach ends up leaving for a different part of the country.
Yesterday was crazy! There was a parade in all of San Pablo that was full of pickup trucks with boards in the back to make them floats. They were full of Christmas lights and lots of decorations. We basically got stuck in a member's house to avoid getting stuck in the middle of it. But finally, it passed. We did some other stuff for like 45 minutes more and then headed to go home. But unfortunately, the parade was super slow-moving and we ended up getting caught in the middle of it. But we decided to make the best of it because the streets were lined with people. We waved and gave out a few El es La Dadiva cards. So that was pretty great!
Anyway, that pretty much wraps up the week! Speaking of Wraps I'm super excited for Christmas! Hope that everyone is doing well and that everyone has the best Christmas ever! Feliz Navidad Y que le vaya Bien!
Love,
Elder Pugmire
