I see you went back to giving only two pieces of bread

This week was solid.  Last P Day we went to buy my watch. I finally got a solid new one. We all had a sweet family night with the Boror Family. We have got two days out of the week set up to have Family nights of our investigators in the houses of two families. Only five days left to fill and it´ll be solid. The ward is working pretty well. 

Tuesday we did divisions. We all also got our cell phones! Dirty right. We all have cell phones now and it´s changing the work so much! It is so much more effective to work like this! I love it. Elder Lopez one of our zone leaders came to our area with us for the day. There are three so just one came with both of us. It was fun! We were in the MTC together and everything and were in Jalapa together so it was sweet. 

Wednesday we had a leadership meeting and it was long, but we learned some cool stuff. We also had some solid lessons. 

Thursday I did divisions in Carolingia with Elder Buchanan. It was a good day. 

Friday We had zone counsel and yes it was the same exact meeting I was in on Wednesday. So I went to it twice. Did I mention we had a pre meeting meeting with the DLs. So I went to the meeting three times in three days pretty much. We also put two baptismal dates with the Santos Family! They are awesome and progressing well. So we hope they can fulfill their commitment and get baptized on the 10th of May. Which is Mothers Day here in Guatemala! Hahaha. 

Saturday I hit months. I don´t even want to say how many cause you all know it. We also did a visit with a new family of members and they gave us a solid reference. We left with a kid who had never even met with the missionaries. What is that. He loved it though so we've got him on the bandwagon. We also had a stake priesthood meeting and we taught Edwin with Hermano Boror. 

Sunday we had stake conference and it was awesome. Elder Ochoa came to talk to the stake. We also left with two brothers in the afternoon. One went with us from 7 to 9 20 and we imagined to teach four lessons. A miracle happened too! We had planned to talk to about an investigator whose husband isn't progressing, but she is more than ready, she already passed a baptismal interview and everything about how she could be an example for him. We said the prayer and asked if she had questions. She said do I have to keep waiting for him or can I just get baptized. I want to get baptized already. She has and studies Preach My Gospel with her kids so I asked her to get it out and turn to the back. The question is there and the answer too. She read it and said, okay I want to get baptized. We put the date for this weekend! Miracles truly do happen in the mission when we do all that we can and are obedient. I love being a missionary. The Church is true. Love you all! 

Love, Elder White

U.S.A U.S.A U.S.A

This week was solid. Monday was p-day and my comp wanted to say bye to everyone so we did divisions and I went to two family nights that we had to teach. The last one was good. I gave a short message about the Book of Mormon. 

Tuesday we had changes.  My new companion is from Utah and his name is Elder Ashurst. So that's cool. We also taught a lady who's sister is a member but she isn't. She lives in Utah and was here on vacation. Crazy right? 

Wednesday was lame. 

Thursday was good we did some divisions with members again and we taught a part family and another family that needs to get Baptized. It was solid. 

Friday it rained. A ward family night felt through cause no one went not even the lady that had it in her house and we taught the Santos Family about the Book Of Mormon. It was sick. 

Saturday was solid we watched conference and I loved it. We also visited a less active family after and that was solid. 

Sunday we watched conference and did divisions after to visit more families. It was a solid day. The week was boring, but good. We taught a guy named Cristian that was going to get Baptized as a 17 year old. His friends then fed him some lies about the Church and he didn't. Turns out he chose some bad paths and started drinking and things like that. He recognizes that the Church is true and he wants to get Baptized now. So that was cool. I love you guys. 

Love you.

God answers Prayers

HEY FAMILY!!!!!!! My companion has changes! So that's super awesome. This week was good. 
Last Monday was crazy. So P-Day and we have to go get the birth certificates of the family that is getting Baptized on Saturday so we get on a bus go down there call them and get their dates. They tell us we have to wait in like a 3 hour line. So that's lame. We are in line and I'm praying really hard that something will happen to get us out of their faster. I have the thought come to me to ask a lady working what I need. She tells me I have it all just to go to the bank and pay. So I go to the bank and pay and we get out of there. We then made our way to.... yeah guess where.... Nueva Montserrat! My first area! To drop the papers off to the lawyer. AKA the old Bishop of the ward. It was awesome! I hadn't been there in so long! It's the exact same and I miss it a ton! I saw some friends and all that good stuff. We then came back and went to a lesson with a member and her non member husband he accepted Baptism, but he is in the process of getting divorced and then wants to marry her. So it will take a minute. 

Tuesday we did divisions and I was with Elder Buchanan again. It was awesome. I love divisions. There was no stress about someone getting mad at me for wanting to work or do things well. It was great. 

Wednesday was just a normal day. We went to an appointment with the parents of someone who got Baptized in another ward here in the stake. They were awesome. They just don't have the desire to go to Church too much, but they are positive. They said they'll get Baptized if they receive testimonies so that is our job. We also got locked out of the house. We also taught a youth of 16 years. He didn't accept a date for his Baptism, but reads and goes to church every week. He knows it's true. He'll get baptized this change. 

Thursday we carried our huge house phone around all day and I felt throwback to Montserrat back when I always carried it in my backpack hahaha. Classic days. We also taught the Santos Family they told us that they think the reason they moved to Carranza was so that we would find them, but they didn't except a date yet either. 

Friday nothing really sweet happened. 

Saturday we went to wait for the lawyers and they didn't see us and passed us. We were there baffled for hours and they finally found us. Turns out they got lost and the wedding started two hours late. But it went awesome. They got married then Baptized!!! 

Sunday we did divisions after Church and it was great to be in a trio with two awesome members all day. 

Well the Church is true Brothers and Sisters. Last night I had one of the most spiritual prayers I have ever had and it was answered. We have changes. I then had another one of the best prayers ever of gratitude and I made a covenant with God that I will do everything I can in every possible minute to serve him. So looks like I'm going to have to keep stepping it up. I love you all. 

Love, Elder White

Danger

Hey Family! This week was interesting and fast at times. 
Monday we just ate at some chicken place cause, our leaders said we couldn't go eat in the mall. Only once a change. They then went for the fifth time in the change so that's awesome leadership. I love them though.  We planned the Baptism agenda. We also taught a  family. 

Tuesday my companion contacted a less active after we had had a fallen appointment and started talking to the neighbors. We left to teach with the teenagers. 

Wednesday and Thursday I was in Carolingia on divisions with Elder Buchanan. 

Friday we filled the font and taught some converts about family history. 

Saturday we had a Baptism and taught the less active my companion found on Tuesday and her husband who isn't a member but has worked in thousands of Churches as a carpenter. 

Sunday we had some fams in Church and stuff. The week was good. I have no time. I love you all. 

Love, Elder White

Puppy Sacrament Meeting

This week was alright. I might have left my book in the house so I don't have all the stuff written out to write out for you guys, but we'll give it the best we can. 
Monday we went to eat and went shopping at Megapaca. It's just like a huge DI and half the stuff still has it's DI tags on it. Anyways I bought a sick jersey for four bucks so that will do me some good in the future. We also had a family night with the Diaz Family. They are too ready for their Baptism in three weeks. 

Tuesday we had zone counsel and it was better than usual. We also got way sick and just stayed home all day. Some members came over to give us blessings and all of that and we were dying. 

Wednesday was pretty much the same. We left for a little but my comp had to go back. I felt better this day. 

Thursday I was sick again. It was rough, but we got a little work in. We tried to do divisions, but it didn't work out and we ended up getting bailed on by both members. 

Friday we worked all day. We worked hard and had a few lessons with members. It's been harder getting the members to help out here in this ward then in the tiny branch of Monjas. But it's coming along. 

Saturday we worked. Sunday some families we weren't expecting came to Church so that's good. We also had a dog come into sacrament sit down and not move until it ended. He then got up and left. Weird huh. I almost counted him as an investigator, but I just couldn't.. haha. 

Love you guys. 

Love, Elder White

Econòmica

This week was chill I suppose. It's crazy that it's March. 
On Monday we had p-day. We didn't do anything. Just eat and chill in the house. 

Tuesday we did divisions. I was with Elder Anderson. Don't let the name fool you he's from the DR not the states. I was talking like a Dominican and he thought it was great. My kid taught me their slangs.  We saw a Sister from the ward buying bread and she waved at us. I felt like we should go back and chat. So we went back and asked how she was. She said she was good. We asked her if she was going home and she said yes so we went with her and she presented us to her neighbor. So that was solid. We also taught Ileana with the two returned missionaries in the ward that just got home. Ileana is a kid who is in the missions sister. She isn't a member, but she is awesome. We also taught the Diaz family that has dates for the 29th. They are too sick. 

Wednesday we cleaned our house with the DL and his comp. We should do that on p-day right? But my leader said to do it. So we did it. I can't argue with my leaders. We also taught the girlfriend of a less active brother. We then taught Elias. He got married to a sister in the ward and he's not a member. I invited him to get Baptized and he said yes! So that's cool. 

Thursday we had a sweet visit to ask for references. The brother told us that he had been praying for someone to stop by. He prayed about his neighbors. He then took us to one of their houses. They shut us down hard core, but he did his part.  We also taught a sister who's kid was murdered recently. The worst part is that she has to move so she doesn't get killed too. But we taught her about the Plan of Salvation. It was solid. 

Friday we did service cleaning up a lot in front of the house of a member family that helps us a ton. It was a good time. The newly returned Elder was telling us about the mish in Peru and how it's goals were way lower than ours, but it Baptizes more? Who knows what's up.  We then went with him to look for some less active young men cause, he's the young men's president.  We also put a date with a girl of our other date for the same day. So she'll get Baptized with her Mom!!! That's awesome. We had a family night with the Diaz Family and our mission leader and his family. It was solid. They are sick and offer to say the prayers and comment and also talk about their Baptisms and wedding n the 29th! So that's dirty. 

Saturday we tried to teach a members Dad. He knows the Church is true. But he is too stubborn to give up coffee. And he admits it. He's nice though. Some day. Dead or alive we'll Baptize him.  We also visited the Contrerras Family. The sister is getting Baptized on the 29th and they shall be married in the same date. Double wedding Baptisms! I'm down for the 29th. We also tried to put the date with Elias, but he wouldn't accept the date yet. 

Sunday we had four families in Church and all of the dates accept for one showed up. So that's solid.  We also had a great lesson with a Brother and his niece and her husband. When we left he shook our hands and with  tears in his eyes he  thanked us for helping him remember when he first heard the Gospel. This week was chill. I hope that this week is better. I've never had a bigger desire to give it all I can than I do right now. I love the Gospel and the power of the Atonement. I love my savior Jesus Christ and I love His Church. I love you all. Se cuidan muchà 

Love,

Divison's with Elder Anderson

Just doing some service...

I missed you babe...I'm back

What up everyone. Yes my title refers to the capital. I'm back in the capital!! So that's cool. Yesterday was also the first time in nine months that I didn't bless or pass the sacrament. So that was even better. But I'm in the ward Economica in  the stake Milagro. So that's good. It's a ward that according to leaders is quote unquote "dying". But we are helping it out. This week was crazy. 
Monday I said bye to everyone out there in Monjas and Jutiapa and Jalapa and all that jazz. It's likely that I never return to any of those places. So that was sad. 

Tuesday we woke up and went to changes. That's where I got my new area and companion. I also saw some friends. My companion is Elder Villanueva from Nicaragua. He is cool. He has 3 months in the mish so that's tight. 

Wednesday we had a mini zone meeting thing. My zone is cool I guess. We also put some baptismal dates. 

Thursday we visited a part member family and put a fecha with the wife. They didn't go to Church however. So that's not working out like we wanted to, but it will be alright. Well get it back into motion. 

Friday we had some good lessons. We taught a niece of a member in their house and it was good. She said she wants to get baptized, but we have to find a time to talk to her Mom because, her Mom is doubtful. We also taught the Diaz Family, they have a date for the 29th of March. About the word of wisdom and they have no problems with it. So that's good. We also taught the husband of a less active sister in her house. They did go to Church on Sunday so that was cool. 

Sunday we had some solid Church time. We had nine investigators there so that was good. We also taught two brothers who are awesome. They couldn't go to Church yesterday for their work, but they are pilas. They are reading and studying and everything so we are going to get them into the font too we hope. In all the week was good. We have some great plans for March and we just need to be focused and plan them out well. La Carranza is awesome! There are more people in the street at all times than there are in the whole town of Monjas I think! So that's awesome. Love you all. The Church is true. 

Love, Elder Nicholas White 

P.S. oh yeah my kids did divisions together this week. So that is cool. 

Loves.
