Guatemalans and the Alphabet

We have begun a class to teach English in the which I have learned things. One, if you don't have teeth, you can't make the F sound. Two, it is an effective way to get people to come to church. And three, it provides us with many new words of the Guatemalan variety. I learned how to say a lot of useless phrases and laughed harder than every before as an old Hispanic woman tried to say the F sound. We all laughed together so it was ok. They have become our friends and then the husband came to church! It was awesome.

And now for an update on the people being taught. M R. , the mother of the woman who fed us on Thanksgiving, lives alone so we teach her with a couple in the ward. She loves the gospel and has a lot of difficultly learning but has the greatest desire to learn. Pray that she can learn quickly. She told us she wants to be baptized on April 4th.  A., the ex-girlfriend of another one of our investigators named T., cried as we told her, that her father in Heaven loves her and after we bore our testimonies of the Book of Mormon and Elder Thomas ruined his suit because he was crying so much, she said he knows it is true and said she wants to be baptized. R, the man we taught in the Pontiac is having problems in Mexico with his family but readily accepted the messages we brought him. Tony is beginning to notice the truthfulness and loves the Book of Mormon. A., the elderly man who told us he was a member but after some investigation found out he just came to our church once or twice, has been difficult to get a hold of, due to his roommate who is the only one who has a phone within two nautical miles of A., named J.. J. has been the only person we have talked with but hopefully we will see A. soon.

All is well.  The Lord is blessing me in many ways out here. Hope all is well there and stuff!
