HOLA HOLA HOLA!!!
Another week in Guatemala!!! so like I said
last week, Elder Russell M. Nelson traveled down to Central America to speak
with 6 of the missions down here but contrary to previous plans, he spoke in El
Salvador instead of here because of the riots and such in Guatemala!! It’s
super dangerous to gather in large groups right now because the president has
been stealing money or something so lots of places are closed for rioting. so he spoke from El Salvador -but the meeting
was still incredible!! Luckily he doesn’t speak Spanish so i was actually able
to understand him, he spoke of the importance of keeping our standards and
never following the worlds ways!! He is such an incredible speaker and it was
awesome to hear him talk and he gave us "virtual handshakes" since he
couldn’t give them to us in real life! He’s funny!! he told us that we were
lucky to be watching him through a broadcast because a lady once told him that
he looks a lot better on tv than in real life!!
wow i understood a few more words in church
this week so I’m pretty proud of that! Every lesson that we have with
investigators or contacts, they are always so grateful for the Little things
that they have and are such a humble people!! They work from 5 or 6 in the
morning to 7 or 8 at night simply to be able to provide food for their family
that day. On Sunday, we had a lesson on
the importance of food storage and these people can barely feed themselves day
to day let alone have money to make up a food storage and its humbling to see
how grateful they still are!! They are awesome!
i struggle introducing myself because I’m used
to saying Morris but they pronounce it like mourrrrrrrrrrris so i have to stop
and think about how to try and pronounce my own name and its funny because I’m
pretty sure they think i don’t even know my own name!!!
Singing is super funny because they love to
sing but don’t know how to read so just echo what we say without a tune and its
great. The primary that consisted of 9
kids got up and sang i want to be a missionary
now which was super cute and they were all bright and smiling!! i love the
Little kids here!! Hopefully you’ll have a great week!! love you!!!
Con amor,
Hermana Morris #3!!
