Hey guys sorry, this email is gonna be quick! This week was awesome! I have a ton of pictures but I don't know if I'll get to send them all because the place where we are writing is super slow and kinda sketchy. But this week was a blast! We had the chance to go to Xetulul which is an amusement park here in Guatemala! It was actually decent and had tons of decorations for Christmas! We spent almost the whole day there and then had a fantastic Christmas lunch and then Presidente bought us all ice cream!
I got to see almost everyone from my old CCM District! So that was way cool!

This week was definitely a show of Guatemala. We didn't have electricity for 3 days this week because some people didn't pay their bills. So they just cut it off for the whole town. So I've got a sweet picture of our house in the candle lights.

NO LIGHTS ALMOST EVERY NIGHT IN SAN PABLO
On Wednesday we went to give some more service and cut a bunch more wood for Hermana Amelia. While we were doing it we ran into a scorpion and a snake. Both were probably poisonous. But we didn't kill them. We put them in a bottle and then put them in our freezer. I don't really know why but that's where they are now. They look pretty sweet but I'm looking for the chance to throw them as far away as possible. Those things creep me out.

Something funny here is the little chicks. The people color all of the chicks different colors and you can buy one for one quetzal each.

Yesterday was awesome we all rode down to the first presidency devotional. I could understand almost everything but I don't think I remember anything. So that's about where I'm at with my Spanish. After the activity, we had all of the people that are investigating the church light off floating lanterns like in tangled! It was super awesome although we were super close to catching something and someone on fire. But everything ended up going well and safe.

Today was awesome. We had an activity as a zone where we all went to buy cereal and everyone brought their pajamas. Then we had a cereal buffet and pajama party which was super fun! Our zone is super fun and I get along well with everyone.

Tomorrow is changes and it's gonna be crazy. Rumors are flying around that in our area there's gonna be a lot of changes so that will be really interesting. I'm excited though and can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.
The final thing is the initiative the church is holding called HE is the Gift. If you haven't seen it look it up. christmas.mormon.org It's a short video and the church is doing a ton to have this video be promoted all over the world. Be sure to watch and then share it! That's what we have spent the last week doing!
Hope everything is well and that you are all having a great time in the cold!
Love,
Elder Pugmire
