Week 93 in the Field - Pigeons, Blonde Guatemalans, and The Atoning Axis

Hey guys, I hope everyone has had a great week.

This week has treated us well. We have several cool investigators and we are enjoying our area.

We live in a five story apartment building that is infested with pigeons and someone thought it would be a good idea to put the sink out on the balcony so we are in a constant struggle against the pigeons when we wash our dishes. Their sole desire is to poop on all our plates. Freaking pigeons.

Our bishop´s son is blonde which is extremely uncommon for Guatemalans and so everyone in the ward says he´s my son. Maybe we do look alike? Picture attached.

So yeah everyone is like already saying goodbye to me and congratulating me for my service as a missionary. Less than a month to go. We´re still working hard though. Like Disney´s Hercules, I can go the distance.

Thanks everyone for your emails; I love you guys a lot. I love being a missionary. I love being a disciple of Jesus Christ.

I echo the testimony of Neal A Maxwell:

"I testify that Jesus’ grip on Himself in that atoning axis between Gethsemane and Calvary was really mankind’s grip on immortality. Jesus finished His preparations, as He said, unto the children of men (see D&C 19:19). Now it remains for us as mortals to claim the blessings of the great Atonement. Our gratitude for Christ and His Atonement will grow with the years and the decades. It will never cease growing. And the scriptures foretell that we will praise Him forever and ever."

I love you all; have a great week!
