Hey so this past week was slow for us here in Kánlun.  We were super stoked for changes to see where everyone is going but I guess the most important thing is me and Elder Griffs are staying.  He is going to complete 6 months here so he is excited and so am I.

 

So let me answer questions . . . It doesn't rain here it is soooooo hot like I honestly have not stopped sweating since at least a week ago and it is so hard to fall asleep.   I have my fan on full blast and still it is soooooo hot I just wake up drenched but I love this place so its all good.

Marcos we had to drop him, I am embarrassed to tell you guys but he told us he didn't want to stop drinking so now he goes and gets drunk every day and night it just makes me so sad and sick cause I love him.   He just doesn't have the strength to go forward so maybe someday.

The rivers are really low we can't look down at the river cause women bathe there so we just keep our eyes down hahaha!  Yes I want to go fishing! People here have harpoon guns to go fishing with and they dive so I am dying but I won't hahaha and there are some huge fish here and they all look weird too.
 

We are trying to focus on finding men that we can baptize for this next change... we have some good solid baptism dates and some good investigators its just hard to baptize men because they either are drunks or fornicators.   Elder Griffs and I did a fast for this next change so I have faith!
 

Nothing really happened this last week one of our investigators Cesar didn't come to church because he was working in his cornfield when this guy on drugs came and chopped part of his hand off with a machete!  We visited him and gave him a blessing.  Cesar is 17 almost Priesthood but not quite but hopefully all goes well with him!!

 

So one day for language study we wrote a rap in Qeqchi hahah!

Well thats all the deets for this week and oh ya so Kanlun is very beautiful but it doesn't compare to most areas in the Polochic or Senahu or Chulac so just you all wait for some good pics!!!
 

Well I love you all so much thanks for your prayers.  Love you guys stay safe!!
