So, this week was a little bit hard. I thought that it was going to have a bunch of lessons and contacts and all that but no, they are really rude here Easter week. I had to deal with a bunch of drunks. Everyone was drunk for Easter weekend. And since the only thing that they put on the TV this week is Easter movies they were kind of fed up with religion. It was like hey do you want to hear about Jesus and they were like yeah but I’m drunk right now so come back later. But we had two really cool miracles that happened

So, Eric has a lot of time being taught and all the time we've known him as a drunken man, yet he's never been taught the Word of Wisdom. So, we went with him and taught him that he was very, very addicted to substance. We tried to help him but he could not stop. I fasted, hoping he would stop drinking. We arrived on Sunday to take him to the chapel. We asked about him and his cousin told us he was in jail. “Oh no, you have got to be kidding me!” I thought. I'm fasting to help him stop drinking and now he's in jail. That did not work. Well, later in the week we went to visit him to see how he was and he was sober. When he went to jail he could not drink and that desire was taken away. What a miracle. And this Sunday he went to church.

 
Already, then with the less active: Sis. Vargas has a lot of time as a member but as a week after she was baptized she became inactive. We went to visit her and encourage her to return. She was surprised that all the other missionaries stopped coming to eat. She already asked me what we wanted with her. I told her we want her to be a faithful member. Then she told us at last that she was going to pray to God and if she felt that she needed to go to church she was going to reactivate and if not that we stop coming by. Let's go then. I knew that God was going to answer she should go to church but I was afraid she would not understand the answer. Last week, I fasted and went to church. She didn’t go. I called her before the service but she told me that her daughter (an active member) had already left but that next Sunday yes. This Sunday, she went to church. It was the first time she had gone in like 5 to 10 years. I do not feel that I did much I just went and invited her and the spirit did the rest.

So that was cool. So, I have still been trying to adjust to my companion the thing that has been hardest is that he talks really weird. I don’t know if Guatemalans speak really professionally but my companion does. This week he asked me “Tendrá Josafath un baño” It goes like this in English “Shall Josafath a bathroom hath.” I was like think about what you just said. One, everyone even in Mexico has a bathroom and two stop speaking like that just say hey yo dude do you think I can use his bathroom. I thought in my head man companion you’re really irritating me. Or he says “utilizará el vaso.”—“art thou thus going to utilize thy glass?” Just tell me in Mexican. Yeah it was a little hard. I think that he thinks that we got called to like Milan Italy or Perth Australia but no we got chosen to trail the dusty roads of Juarez and they don’t speak quite as professionally as my companion. He just showed me what they do in Guatemala for Easter. They make a Judas doll and they collect bread and then they hang and burn the doll.

I also got locked out of the house today. It wasn’t fair because I had the keys and everything. We tried opening the door but we almost broke the key opening it. But it didn’t open. I thought well there are five windows and all have super heavy duty iron bars so I can’t get in that way. There are two doors each with two doors and this door is jammed and the other is locked from the inside out. I can’t crawl down through ducts because I’m too fat from all of the tortillas. So, we borrowed a screwdriver from the neighbor to climb down the ducts then we thought twice and decided that it probably only works in James Bond so we used the screw driver because everything else was inside the phone my shoes everything. We used it to break away a little bit of mesh wire to get my hand down on the other side and take off the lock. I think that my companion was really stressed out because he almost killed me when I made a joke. I thought it was funny. Anyways we made it in. Stupid door; Unloyal and all. 

Well that was the week. Hope it rains someday to show my companion what it’s like to contact in the rivers.
