So, we're teaching this lady named Oralia. She's super cool and has a huge desire to learn about the gospel and already has told us she wants to be baptized! (Is baptized in with a z? I don't remember how to spell!!! UHHHHH! Oh well, it never was a strong point of mine.) So that's super cool! All we are waiting for is for her and her boyfriend, who is a member returned missionary, to get married! They've got a wedding scheduled for the end of January. But she's super cool!
We also have this one family, well actually like 6 families up in Colima 1. They all live in the same house but it's actually a really big house. We are really still working on learning names and figure out who is related to who because everyone is related but we don't know-how. We have a soccer activity scheduled for this next Saturday! Oh, that's something fun about the other churches. A lot of the Pastors here preach against soccer. They say that it's a sin and a lot of churches don't permit their members to play. They say playing soccer is like playing with the devil's head... kinda strange. So that was a concern of this family because they like soccer. So that's a fun fact of the day!
We play every Friday Night at the Cancha de Wally. He's the owner and plays goalie for us. When we had Elder Lagos and Gavarette we were a force to be reckoned with. Elder Lagos and Gavarrette each played for semi-pro teams in Honduras and Costa Rica. I was just big and tall compared to Guatemalans. We'd have teams from an hour away come to play us which was a blast. We even kind of had a personal tuc-tuc guy come pick us up.

We are also teaching this family who are super cool. The coolest member of the family is this little girl who's 8 years old named Angie. She's the town Beauty princess or something. She's has wanted to get baptized for a year but her dad works in the military and never is home. So we've been working with them forever to get this family baptized but the big problem is time. The good thing is Angie finished up the year of being the town queen so that should free up the family a little bit for time. The dad is still praying to receive an answer and the other 2 kids said they don't want to get baptized unless the dad does. So that's what we're waiting for with them. Other than that we have a ton of people we've taught or been teaching. The main problem is getting the people to come to church.
So ya, that's about this week! the only other thing that I remember is we went and gave some service by moving a big concrete pila and a chicken coop. Today's P-day was super fun! We had a huge water balloon fight with normal balloons. It was super cool! Then we went and got tortas which are the best things here like I've always said. But ya! Life is good! Changes are coming up on the 21st and my comps birthday is the 17th so things should be super cool! Hope everything is good for everyone! have an amazing week!
Peace out from Elder P!
