¿Que
Ondas?
Hey guys! How is everyone?
This week, after all the festivals and everything have finally
died down, we've been able to work at a normal pace. That makes things a LOT
easier. I've been praying hard over these people every day. At this point, life
in Zacapa is WAAYY too casual for me. I don't remember if I've said that before
in one of my weekly e-mails, but I'm way too used to this. Every day is preach,
preach, preach, work, work, work, walk, walk, walk. Some of the people love us, others run from
us, others don't want to see us within 20 feet of them. But hey, that's mission
life. It's hard. But what do you do when it's hard? You get on your knees and
pray every night, every day, every opportunity you get. And then you keep
teaching, and telling everyone you can to do the same.
So besides teaching the Gospel, I am also now an English
teacher! This week, Elder Carter and I teamed up to teach English! In our first
class, we had 15 people. People who know a lot of English, and people who know
none at all. Our companions are Latinos, so they weren't exactly too helpful
with running the class. Either way, because of the variety of people, we're
going to split it up into two classes: one for beginners and one advanced.
I have one more change left with Elder Franco. He's been a good
teacher for me. He was patient with my
mistakes, he basically taught me Spanish, and we've been able to work hard
together. We haven't had too much success together, but I've learned a lot
about the work.
I love you all! Keep writing, and I'll send you the news on what
happens next week!
Elder Reed
