Hola Familia,
So let's start with new years. It's so different here in
Guatemala, I mean it doesn't even feel like a new year because I am still
sweating my butt off everyday and we never have a day that is cold. I hear how
the capital of Guatemala is so cold right now and sometimes I want to get a
change just to experience the cold. haha!
Well today is a day of changes. This change I am staying in
Zacapa and my comp is leaving. He is going to the capital but we don't know who
our companions are yet. It's kinda weird that I am going to be experiencing my
first change with a new companion and I have to help him learn the area. I am
finally not going to be in training any more! ya!!! I can't wait for what the
Lord has in store for me with this chance and new companion. Also, we are
getting a new zone leader and district leader. Elder Huband who was one of the
zone leaders is going to the capital and so is my comp who was district leader.
Then we have Elder Jepson leaving to the capital, Elder Rodriguez who is going
home after serving for 2 years and an additional change and also Hermana Black
but she will be staying outside of the capital. I hope to hear from the others
in my group from the CCM and see how we have grown and what changes we have in
our mission.
Also, this week felt pretty fast because of new year's
holiday and we had 23 new investigators this week! Our goal every week is 12
and we almost doubled it. One family of 7 is really cool and they want to
listen to our message and hear what we have to say. Especially the dad of the
family, which is kinda strange because he is a pastor of a different church...
haha but if we baptize him then we will have alot of success with the family,
and with his "church" haha, so lets just pray that they wont harden their
hearts!
Also, we have a baptism date for the 17th but we think it
will get pushed back a week because he has to quit smoking for 2 weeks before
being baptized, but he is a super cool dude! and all ready he is noticing
blessings in his life.
I cant express how happy I am with the opportunity to be
here on a mission and I would like to share my testimony with you guys in
Spanish:
Yo se que esta iglesia es verdadera, yo se que esta
evangelio puede bendice todos personas y todos familias, yo se que el don de
lenguas es verdadero, y dios contestara nuestros oraciones si nosotros pedimos
con fe. El quiere bendice nuestras vidas y cuando nosotros obedecemos los
mandamientos, nosotros recibiremos bendiciones en nuestras familias. Yo se que
el libro de mormon es la palabra de dios. Yo se que mi decision a servir un
mission es no para yo a recibir bendiciones, pero por yo bendice las vidas de
estas personas en Guatemala. (You can
google translate it if you don't know Spanish)
I love you guys so much and am grateful for your support and
love. I'm grateful for my christmas package and for the opportunity to share
the love of Christ with these people of Guatemala.
Elder Flygare
