The One With the Mayans 10/9/17

Hey everyone!

While we were looking for a referral we knocked on someone's door and a man answered, he wasn't who we were looking for but we asked if we could share a message anyway. We were getting to know him and his family, and the guy and his wife started speaking another language, which threw us off. We asked them about it and they were speaking Mayan! I didn't know that was still a spoken language but they speak it more than Spanish, which makes teaching something of a struggle.

We started teaching a family that has been taught by missionaries on and off for about a year now and they finally went to church for the first time on Sunday since they started being taught. It was a really cool experience for them to participate in testimony meeting and for them to feel the spirit. We had a lesson with them earlier in the week where they fed us dinner and really showed a lot more interest than before, it was really cool to see how their hearts are being softened.

Yesterday, as we were pulling out of church, some members asked us if we wanted to eat lunch with them. We had dinner in a couple hours so we said yes. We went down to their house and on the way, were telling us about this huge barbecue that they had the day before. They tried to feed us all the leftovers, pretty much almost killed us, and we went from there to pick up the other missionaries and headed down to dinner and the first thing the wife said when we walked in was "oh Elders, I hope you're hungry" and she fed us a ton of food also!

I am very excited for this week. We found out our investigator who was going to get baptized took a vacation to Mexico, we thought she was ignoring us but she invited us to come by later this week, just out of the blue! We have some appointments set up that seem promising.


Sorry this is a shorter letter, love you all, have a great week!
