Dec. 6

Hello from Guate.

So life as a missionary is going great!! I am learning and growing so
much. This week I had a conference with only the new missionaries.
So I left my companion with two other Hnas. on Wednesday and headed to
the mission home with two hermanas that are newer than me. It was a
great conference with the President. We learned more about the rules
and being obedient. Then we took some time discussing prayer, the
Book of Mormon, and the mission emphasis. It was way spiritual. It
was also all in English! I am so blessed to be able to understand as
much Spanish as I do. I am working hard to improve though. The thing
with a Nuevos Conference is that the next day the trainers have a
conference. Not cool!! haha. OnThursday I was left in charge of the
other two sisters. Since I know my area better than they know theirs,
we worked in my area. SCARY!!!! I was so nervous! I was always
double checking on them that they weren't walking in the street (if
they were behind me). I had to remember all the bus stops and when to
get off!! I am definitely NOT ready to train. With just one day I was
worried out of my mind. Hahaha.

Anyway. The bishop's wife told me this week that I make amazing
juice. And this was hand squeezed juice. Yes!!!! Hahaha. I am still
talented at juice making. :) I was able to play a little basketball
this week. I found out that I am amazing here. Hahaha. Mostly
because I'm taller. But it was fun!1

We have been finding and teaching a bunch of people. Keep the people
here in your prayers. People are mostly afraid to change.

This week was Hna. Ruiz's birthday. :D We celebrated at three
different houses. It was great. The picture with the Elders (our
zone leaders Elder Maurer and Elder Samayoa inour area) and Fabian
(mission leader) is at one house. The other two are at the house of a
member. The girl with me and Hna Ruiz is Chinita (her nickname).
Daniel you should totally date her. Hahaha. She is super cute!! I
taught her "I am a chubby bunny" the way Rich does it to us! Hahaha.
Funny!!

Well gotta go.

Love,

Hna. Pelaez
