I am chuckling as I write that because that is what all of the men here say to me. They are crazy. :) But everything is good!
We had cambios this week so I had to get a new planner so I dont have the first two days of this week. Usually, I make notes in my planner each day of what I am going to put in the weekly email but I didn't have my new planner until Miercoles so that's kinda stinky. Also I lost my other planner!!! My first planner of my mission. I was super sad that I won't have it to keep as a memento but it's ok because there is a reason for everything.
Anyway wednesday we had our district meeting with our new leader. He is different but he is good. I like him. We have our nightly call with him too and it changed a lot from our other district leader. But like I said it's good. All is well.
Thursday! Guys there was an aftershock here in Guatemala of the earthquake in mexico! at 11:00 pm. It was for a minute and a half. My companion was sleeping But I was wide awake and pondering why I couldn't sleep and then I started moving. But i was sure it wasn't my intent to move. So I said Hma Paniagaua are you awake and no reply and again and no and again and no reply. and finally she woke up and I told her I was moving and then she didn't believe me for a minute but then she felt it and bolted running out of our house. I was very confused as to where she was going. But of course I followed. Anyway, that was really exciting. Lots of people were talking about it. It was also a testament to me that the Lord really is here next to me helping me and giving me strength and comfort. He kept me awake so that I could wake Hermana Paniagua up because she was fast asleep. And actually that is what one of my investigators said. I hadn't thought about it like that until he said it. But that is the reason for the title of the email. blessed.
Friday was pretty normal. Supposedly we found a man who was one of the first people here in El Cerinal who was baptized or atleast thats what he told us. We weren't sure whether or not to believe him. It was while we were contacting.Saturday! Was really good! normal but my personal study was crazy. Coincidentally, I read Alma chapter 24 AND MY MIND WAS BLOWN TO PIECES. That was on accident but it works. :) It's the story of the Lamanites and the Nephites battling. Read it. It really strengthened my faith.
On Sunday there was some big event going on here so we only had two investigators in church. a record low.but its ok. We also had family home evening as a rama and Hma Paniagua gave the thought it was about the crossing of the Red Sea found in Moses chapter 3. Another story about faith!
All is well and I am extremely blessed. Because of how much I'm learning and growing. I am having experiences here that I could never have in the United States or If i had chosen not to come on my mission.
Love,
Hermana Larimer
