Grifen in Guatemala

What the heck Pa brought out his banjo hahaha!!! I was reading on Ricky´s email and he said something about a banjo hahaha!! sweet!!

Alright so life is good here and I know you guys wouldn't be able to find out what pur is - it's snail soup hahaha!!! I have eaten it twice and I actually don't mind it. The tortillas are a blessing cause I just suck out the snail then take a big bite of tortilla and I can't taste the snail hahha!! Also this week we ate at a families house and we ate chicken head caldo it was good. I ate everything, the eyes, the brains, the spinal cord, everything! It was actually pretty good but never again will I ever complain about any food ever again but ya the members feed us good!!!

Well this week has been good. Elder Grifs and I are killin Canlun. I love the members every time we ask for a reference they are like yep we have one and let me know when you want another so its going good!!!

Marcos our investigator that we are trying to help stop drinking asked us to give him a blessing on Monday and my comp did it all in Qeqchi. My comp doesn't know Qeqchi super good he knows a heck of a lot more than me but the spirit was really strong... later on Saturday we came to check on Marcos and he was drunk. We were devastated oh it was terrible we just saw him all bolo and what not and we just oh it was terrible we just left!!!

We came back Sunday to talk to him and we had a really good talk with him. My comp kind of chewed him out but it was good. He wants us to come chat with him everyday so he doesn't go drink so we are going everyday to just hang out with him. He cried in our lesson last night because his wife just said to him these missionaries love you so much you should have seen thir faces when they saw you drunk, this got to him he gave us a hug and told us he is trying to stop, but I understand its hard but I know he can do it.

To Rand and Stacee the Corndog Song is all over Canlun. The kids and families ask us to sing for them in English so I sang Corndogs hahaha! Every time we go to a family I have to sing it to them hahha they love it here!!!!

It is super hot here I am in like the second hottest place in our mission and March to July is summer but its sooooo hot I don't stop sweating ever here. Even at night I have my fan on high but to no avail the heat is a killer hahaha good times in guate!!!

My Qeqchi is coming I am helping in lessons so that's good. Heavenly Father is really helping me big time with this language everyone tells me I am learning super fast but I know its all Heavenly Father helping me!!!

Well I love you all so much enjoy life and be safe!!!

Love Elder Barker
