All Is Well, All Is Well

We had changes today. They took me out of my area, that kinda of sucked, my cook and her family were all crying when I left. They are pretty much my family here in Guatemala. But I am still in the capital and I moved up to Senior Comp. My new comp is Elder Arita, from Honduras and is from the city as my other two comps from Honduras. He is really quiet, but I will knock that out of him. My new seems pretty cool, but kinda small. And it has been raining non stop for the past week and a half. It is absolutely crazy. I have never seen so much water in my entire life. I hope every is doing,ya`ll need to update your pages so i can know what is going on. Take care. Love ya all.

No Mucho

Not a whole lot happened this week. I had to go to the doctor for some chest pains that I was having, but it just turned out to be something that I had from the flu that I guess I had and didn´t know it. But it had nothing to do with my heart, just the muscles in my chest. So everything is fine with that, don´t worry mom. This past week the mom of that family passed away. They finally took her to the hospital and that day she died. It was probably about 3 months too late. The worst part was the two kids didn´t know and they were at church with us when we found out. So, I had to muscle it up and break the new to them, because my comp couldn´t do it. It was pretty hard but they understand a little better the plan of salvation. but this is all i got. love ya all

How are you?

Enoch, LaRue & Andy, are you guys out there? I'm sure all is well and Craig said that you probably don't have internet. Just wanted to let you know we're thinking about and praying for you. Keep up the good work. I've put new stuff on our blog if you want to see the kids. :-)

GOOD TALKIN

Well it was good to talk to ya´ll yesterday. The one thing I didn´t tell you about is that we had another baptism on Saturday. It was a really cool experience, the little boy started to cry after we confirmed him. The spirit was really strong. I honestly think that this is the best baptism that I have had in my mission, and he is only 9 years old. He two older sisters are members and his dad is really interested, but he isn´t married with his wife, and he doesn´t want to because he thinks that she is going to kill him some day. This Saturday we have two more baptisms, the younger brother of Leonel, Gerson, and the other is Kevin. Kevin is 17 years old and his aunt introduced us to him. He told us that he wanted to be baptized before we had even asked him. Next week I will bring my camera and hopefully Jackie will be able to post some pictures on here. I love you all, keeping pushing along, and put your shoulder to the wheel.
Love,
Elder Miles

BAPTISM!

Well we had a baptism this past Saturday. We baptized Leonel, he is 13 years old and his family is the one that we have been helping out a lot lately. The dad has decided to stay and not return back to Honduras, becuase his wife is so sick. So i am pretty sure that it should be a bapitsm. All we have to do is get them married. They already have all of their papers, we just need to find a lawyer that will hike down to their house and sign the papers. We are going to have another baptism this week, and we are scheduled to have another the following week, possibly two. My comp works hard, but he doesn´t talk to me. He hates gringos, he has had 3 emergency changes because he has fought with his gringo comps.
well, not much more has happened. It will be good to talk to you all again. Sounds like all is well. I love you all take care

It's a...

BOY! Now the girls club is out numbered. Oh well, we get what we want anyway! :-) Everything looks good and healthy on the utrasound and the due date is September 9th. If all is well and the baby and I am ready I will be induced on the 4th so that my Dr. is in town and the baby comes before Craig's fall manager's meetings. We are excited! Carson has know all along that he was getting a baby brother.

The first image is a 3D one. You can see his eyes, nose, and mouth with the left side of his face pressed up against the side of my tummy. Looks cramped! The second one is a profile and the third is his arm bent at the elbow with his thumb in his mouth! Looks like we got a thumb sucker.

Cambios

Well we had changes today. It was quite a shock, my comp had a change and I didn´t, which was fine, but everyone thought that I was going to move up to senior comp. But that didnt happen, I´m still junior comp, but oh well more time to prepare myself to be a Senior and learn. My new comp is Elder Cuello from Honduras. I have already heard some things about him and everyone told me to be careful with him, so we will see if i have improved since Elder Nelson and when he pulled out a machette on me. haha. But everything is going really well right now. We have a baptism this Saturday, one the following week, and a date for the one after that. The are finishing the new stake center nearby, so we won´t be meeting in a school anymore for church.
I don´t know if you all remember the family I have talked about before that is really poor and the mom is extremely sick, well we took food to them this past week from the Bishop´s storehouse, when we came in with the food and starting showing her what we had brought, she just starting crying. It was a lot of food, that should last for a couple of weeks. It was a really powerful moment, and we then put a date for baptism with her son, Leonel, who is getting baptized this Saturday. When then had her give the closing pray. It is the most marvillous and powerful pray I have ever heard, there wasn´t a dry eye in the room. I love this work so much and I love this people, they really try your patience, but that is something I really need to learn. As for these last couple of weeks, I chose a Christ-like attribute to focus on from Preach My Gospel. I chose Humilty. After really focusing on it, I have found it is extremely hard to be humble, I really am missing a lot of that attribute and I hope to continue to develop it.
I love you all so very much, can you believe it? 9 Meses ya, puchega, el tiempo se fue muy rapido, pero hay que provechar su tiempo en el campo por que uno regrese y nunca va a ser un misionero por tiempo completo jamas. les amo and les extrano mucho. solo quiero que ustedes puedan seguir adelante y aue puedan ensenar sus hijos el evangelio. Que bendicione que tenemos que tenemos este evangelio restuarado en nuestras vidas. les amo a ustedes. dos semanas y puedo comunicarme con ustedes.
con amor
