We had three baptisms planned for Saturday but José got a mosquito virus called Chikungunya and was very ill and unable to make it to the baptismal service. His father Cristino stayed to take care of him and he missed the service as well. Fortunately we still baptized Yoly and Cristino and José are getting baptized on Wednesday.
This week I had to travel twice. On Tuesday I traveled to Guatemala City to do immigration paperwork and on Wednesday I traveled to Zacapa to get an influenza immunization. Due to these two visits, we didn´t get as much work done as we wanted to but we´re still making progress.
This week we also had a talent show as a missionary activity and that went really well.
Gotta go, love you all!
(Questions answered from Grandma Jane:)
Thanks for the email! I don´t have a ton of time but I will answer your questions:
Is it the only branch in Gualan?
Yes. Gualan is a town of 50,000 or so I think and we have about 80 active members.
How many missionaries are there or in close-by towns?
We have four missionaries here in Gualan. The closest missionaries to our companionship besides the other companionship are about 40 minutes away by bus.
How often are your regional meetings and do you have to travel to Guatemala City?
We have Zone meetings in Teculutan every week which is a little over an hour away. I had to travel to Guatemala City this week for immigration stuff but usually that`s abnormal to travel there for meetings. It takes anywhere from 2 to 5 hours to get to the capital depending on how fast your bus driver is willing to drive haha.
How much longer before you get a new companion?
One week and I get a new companion.
It`s cooling down here and the weather is pretty nice. I don`t really need anything but my investigators like sour candy and beef jerky haha.
