Good week this week. Super crazy week with Semana Santa (Holy Week) and everything. Guatemalans have a ton of traditions for this week with everything … art, music, food, etc. Honestly super cool to be here during all the tradition but it makes it a lil complicated with the work but we still had a good week.
Huge miracle actually. We had a few investigators show up to church this week completely unexpected. Two of them had been referrals last transfer but we couldn’t ever get in contact with them. The person who gave us the reference lives outside of the mission but was visiting one day so he gave us the references but nothing happened. But this Sunday we were in church and we got a call from the guy and he was asking what time church started. I said it already started but that there were other wards so he could go to one of those wards. So he did and brought the references from last transfer and their cousin. Their names are James, Michelle, and Wendy. So awesome to see and they even stayed after with so many questions. Wendy was so curious and we showed her the baptismal font and she kept asking and asking what she could do to be baptized. The Spirit there was so strong and we are so excited to work with them again. This time I feel like it'll be good.
I loved this week. It was really a good reflection week and I love all the teachings that Christ made in the last week of his life. He is so incredible and I am astonished by his humbleness. He never thought about himself. Ever. What he wanted was always the will of the father. I know we all have a LONG way to go to get the level of humbleness but we can always start little by little. I love when Jesus is on the Cross and says, forgive them, for they know not what they do. He was thinking about them. I love a quote that says, ”humbleness is not thinking less of ourselves, it's thinking less about ourselves”. Forgive those who hurt you, think about them and love them like Jesus would.
Love you all, be safe
