Wow what a week I don't know where to start but here it goes.

So I got up to Senahu last Tuesday and I met my comp Elder Miranda he´s crazy, I love him we get along great. He is from Columbia and he is a little disobedient but I am a buena onda with him so I am just trying to chip away the small disobedience before I get to the big but so far so good!!

Plus we have two houses!  One in Senahu in the Zl´s house we have a room where we put all of our stuff and we only take what we need for the week to Serit´Quiche so that means just the necessities.  I wasn't expecting that and there is no food so we have to like battle for food down here in Senahu but all is good!!

It's about a hour truck ride up the mountain to Seritquiche.  The thing is we have two Branches so like two different areas.  We have Serit´quiche and Semarak which is a hour and a half hike up over a mountain and we mostly work in Semarak.  The first time we went I about died but I am used to it now but it is just incredibly gorgeous here.  I wake up and I just walk outside and bam just pine tree forest and then mountains and of course a river where Qeqchi´s are bathing but its incredible!!

My house is in church property all fenced in and its the same as the house in Canlun and nope I don't have hot water.  I still have yet to have a hot water shower in my whole mission but this isn't like Canlun cold water this is ice cold our shower head freezes haha so we shower out of a tube haha.  I sleep in my sleeping bag on a cot until they get us our mattresses haha so my life is camping but its dope!!!

The work is great the people love my name Kaqi´ tul and they are just the best. I love this people, we did have a heart break this week so we are trying to get people married and baptised but first this couple had a problem.  It turns out the husband was married before so he needs to get divorced first, but the district president from Senahu was going down to Coban to do divorces so we got all the paper work to him and then he calls us and tells us it won't happen cause he has a kid.  We had to go back and tell the family that he has to pay a lot of money to get divorced and the lady member just broke down and said all she wants is an eternal marriage and stuff so it broke my heart.  We do have plans to marry another couple and to baptise the husband so hopefully that goes well but we have a lot of work to do this week. The hardest part is that for every lesson you have to plan a hour to walk to the next one so we only get like four lessons in so its hard but its fun here I love it!! 

It was hard to leave Canlun and Elder North and Victor but I know that Victor is going to be a great help with the branch in Canlun.

Well I love you all stay safe and have fun and share the gospel!!
