Well this past week was a good week we worked like Kawachins this past week I pretty much destroyed one of my shirts, not really its just yellow and brown hahaha!!!

It is sooo hot here!  It is only February but holy cow its sooooo hot you just step outside and the sweat just starts.  I love Canlun and the people there so I will endure the sun! Mas tik li saqe.

Nothing super exciting happened this week Marcos didn't drink for a whole week then his mother-in-law told him he won't make it and he broke and went and drank.  It sucked he got so hammered its just sad to see but we are going to try to get him to pick himself back up and keep going.  But I know he probably won't get baptized in my time here but I have faith for him in the future.  Marcos and his wife Amalia are going to get married in March and I hope I get to see her get baptized as well.   Drinking is not a easy thing to stop doing but he can do it with the Lords help.

We went on divisions with the AP´s this week Elder Barton came with me and Elder Griffiths and he was in the Polochic his whole mission too so he knows such good Qeqchi like it blew my mind.   

We have been working hard we put two more baptismal dates with investigators for March and they all came to church and we are planning on putting 3 more this week.  The people here are so prepared for the gospel its amazing of course there are those heard hearted people but for the most part Canlun is a chosen land.   I love it here!!!

Qeqchi is going good, everyone has told me that I am learning really fast but I know its not me.  I just put effort and whats hard and seems impossible one day is super easy the next so the Lord is helping me a ton.

Well just some advice for my man BK when he leaves for his mission and learning a new language.  Study like a Kawachin (like a old Guatemalan man who works his butt off).  I know that if you study and put your study into practice you will learn Spanish in 3 months just don't get discouraged.   Study when you wake up, then at language study, then practice throughout the day, then before you go to bed its a proven technique oh ya and the most important pray like a Kawachin also!   Good luck don't be disobedient, be a flechon or follow the rules to exactness but have a blast.

Well I love u all sorry nothing super huge but good week.  Be safe and continue forward in the gospel love you all.

Love Elder Barker
