Dear Mom,
Thank you for your email. Things are good here in Guatemala. Its really beautiful and I love the people.
Sorry i must have wrote the wrong thing last week. My comp has been on his mission 6 months. Things are going well with him. We are working hard and im figuring out ways to work smarter.
Sometimes its hard because the people are so hard hearted or brainwashed in one way that they wont open up to the message of the restoration. I know how important it is in my life and they wont even pray to find out for themselves. It was really cool this week that we had an experience with Elfido (we´ve been teaching him about a month) He´s shared his testimony of the church but he said after we taught the pastor on monday (he was there too) he went and prayed to really know if the church was true. He said he recieved an answer that it was true. He´s going to be baptized and is just praying about a date. I hope that he doesn´t wait too long though b.c satan is always fighting that they dont. We had 3 people tell us they think our church is the true church this week!! :)
I got probably the greatest compliment that i´ve recieved so far as a missionary yesterday. We went by a member family´s house to pick something up and he told me that i am a good teacher b.c i teach with a strong spirit. That meant alot to me b.c i felt like i offended the spirit in the months b4 my mission and my biggest focus on my mission has been to have the spirit. I tell that to all the missionaries who are leaving a well. We dont need to focus on the language or the doctrine much. Our main focus should be on haveing the spirit. The spirit knows the language and knows the doctrine but without it we will have no true success b.c missionaries without the spirit cannot help convert people. We cannot enter there hearts but the spirit can. Having the spirit is the most important thing to me right now. He knows the answers to all my problems. He´s a God.
So there is a lady here wondering if you would like a Guatemalan baby!!! She was just joking but i know you really would haha. I told her if she gets him there you´ll take good care of him. :) About the dog, idk just do what you fell is best and remember to pray about it.
I love you alot and hope you are doing well. Remember that happiness is a choice. Don{t let heath bug you to much. He loves you alot. I{ve seen it.
Love,
Elder Vincent
