Semuc Champey

Hey family,

Well, things are going well, and once again I am short on time because of so many letters.  Oh well, I will get typing fast. 

Last p-day was a little rough because we had to take a couple of Elders to the capital. We also had a zone leader council this Tuesday in the capital with Presidente Watts.  We are 18 zone leaders in the mission and it was a great, spiritual meeting.  I learned a lot and we are really going to try to improve our baptismal dates and in finding new investigators in our zone.  The best part though was the food that Hermana Watts made us.  You ready for this.  Drumrollllllllllllllll.  Cafe rio sweet pork salads.  It was the best thing ever!  So rico.  She even had the sauce perfect.  I think she's magic.  That was a big pick-me-up after the whole thing with the recent situation in our zone.  We also were able to hang out with some of the best elders in the entire mission.  It was a great couple of days. 

We have been working, despite all the things we have had to do.  Also, my companion got sick and that ruined a couple of days for us.  It's been rough, but the Lord is blessing us with success.  We are hoping to have a baptism and marriage this weekend with Leopoldo and Carmen on Saturday.  Hope they make it through.  They're still a little bit scared to do it.  We'll work with um.  The other week we found a family of like 14 people.  They're crazy, but 6 went to church.  We are really going to work with them to put some baptismal dates this week.  Other than that we are really trying to find new people.  We went contacting the other day when I was on divisions with a new Elder and every single door we knocked, they opened the door and either let us in or put another appointment.  It was amazing. 

Today we went to Semuc Champey, some waterfalls 3 hours from Coban.  They were amazing.  The only thing was that we went in a tiny microbus as a zone and it was having a really rough time on the dirt roads.  We even had to get out and push a lot of times.  It was awesome though and definitely valered the pena.  I'll send a few pics.  We did get home late though and that's why we are using internet late. 

Well, ya se fue la hora.  Love you guys.  Sorry my letter was short.  Hope you have a great week.  Enjoy life and especially the gospel.  Ponder it ever once in a while.  Sometimes we get too comfortable with the testimony we have always had.  I realized this week that sometimes we just need to sit and think about everything.  I promise, it works.  It's a good boost.  Well, till next time.

Love,

Elder Lloyd
