Lunes 18 de julio 2016:

Basically all we did today was go to walmart, it was Hna Garcia's first time! But she was not too impressed,

I forgot to grab a shopping cart on the way in and i was accumulating to many things for my lanky arms to carry buuut we ran into the missionaries and took over half of their cart jajajaj 

Martes 19 de Julio:

"He aquì, Dios es mi salvacion, confiare y no temere, porque el señor JEHOVA es mi fortaleza y mi cancion; y tambien ha llegado a ser salvacion para mi. Por tanto, con gozo sacareis agua de las fuentes de salvacion."

2 Nefi 22:2-3

translation:

 2 Nephi 22: 2 “Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid; for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also has become my salvation.

 3 Therefore, with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.”

(video of previous companion w/umbrella)

So it was raining and my comp has broken all of the umbrellas we have in the house so i was like sweet we should contact because people will have pity on us and let us in out of the rain so the very first person we contact we ask him his name and his like ummmm my name...Hernan and we were like sweet Hernan is it okay if we can talk w/u for a lil bit? So he's like sure and goes back inside and never comes back out.

Miercoles 20 de Julio:

Knowledge- one of the attributes of God. Knowledge of divine and spiritual things is absolutely essential for one's salvation; hence the gospel is to be taught to every soul. "how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?" (Rom 10.14)

Knowledge is not obtained all at once, even by revelation, but line upon line, precept upon precept. 

The scriptures , and also living prophets, are given so that the people might have knowledge of the things of God and "know how to worship and know what you worship" (d&c 93;19)

Knowledge is one of the endowments of the holy ghost and one of the gifts of the spirit.

Since no one can be saved in ignorance of the gospel, and one progresses only as fast as he gains knowledge, it follows that the person who gains knowledge will have "the advantage in the world to come"

Someone gave me a *topogigio and there was hair inside #saboraheadandshoulders
*topogigio is frozen chocolate milk or fruit juice inside a little sandwhich bag that we buy for about 2 lempira. you bite the corner off and eat it as it melts haha

Jueves 21 de Julio:

"Leaven; anything that in cooking produces fermentation, a lump of old dough being used in most instances. 

It was probably forbidden in the passover feast because there was associated with it the idea of corruption.

So we went to go help our little neighbor Jasmine with her english today and her parents are SO SWEET. They said that the dad can fix my camera, like he looked it over and said that it's possible! 

After working with Jasmine for a little while it was time to go but before we left her mom commented in broken english that i am a very gentle person and very kind with her daughter. #d'awwwww 

I did not contact at all today it was v sad

Viernes 22 de Julio:

We met an inactive member of the church today. He studied a lot of theology and now he's confused. He talked a lot about sexism in the church and i tried to explain to him that more than anything, it's the country. The majority do not respect women at all it's so sad.

Sabado 23 de Julio:

"ay de4 todos aquellos que tiemblan, y estàn enojados a causa de la verdad de Dios! pues he aqui, aquel que esta edificado sobre un cimiento arenoso, tiembla por miedo de caer." 2 Nefi 28:28

2 Nephi 28:28 And in fine, wo unto all those who tremble, and are angry because of the truth of God! For behold, he that is built upon the rock receiveth it with gladness; and he that is built upon a sandy foundation trembleth lest he shall fall.

I just asked my comp, "How do you spell exagerado? "e-x-a-g-e-r-a-d-o" "its with just one g? "yep" "oh for a minute i thought it was with two, but that would be exaggerado" lololololol

Basically we spent all day in the house because my comp is not doing too good :( back problems.

We went to go eat almuerzo and it was pigs feet. Hno Marco was CONVINCED that we weren’t going to like it: Jennifer told us that he was complaining all morning as they were out buying groceries 

i just told them that when i told them in the beginning that i like EVERYTHING, i meant it. 

Domingo 24 de Julio:

The light of christ is just what the words imply; enlightenment, knowledge, and an uplifting, ennobling, persevering influence that comes upon mankind because of Jesus Christ.

Lunes 25 de Julio:
