On
Wednesday night, Hermana Wright and I had a HUGE scare because the
president´s wife called us and we were like WHAT IS HAPPENING. So you
know, I answered with my sweetest voice and I was like Hello! And she
told us that we were both going to finish training for the new
missionaries! Soooo SURPRISE! I´m SO excited but like insanely nervous
because I have such little time in the mission to be a trainer but like
wherever and whatever the Lord needs, I´m willingly there!
Before
anyone asks, I have glasses because last week the wind was SO strong
that literally every 5 steps I would take, I would have to stop in the
middle of the road and rub my eyes until the rocks would come out... so
really, it´s RIP to my eyes hahaha.
Well, this
week was insanely long but like I´ve never been so dedicated in the
work! I feel so ready and so excited for this new change and I´m even
more excited to finally go to the coast! I´ll finally not have to bring a
sweater or a jacket with me wherever I go! I have 2 options... I either
go to Mazate, which is toward the bottom of Guatemala, or I go right
into the city of Retalhuleu! So really, either one is going to be SUPER
different but SO fun!!
So we have to take
"chicken buses" to Reu so we were coming back from Xela to take the
cross over bus to San Marcos and I finally got a seat and my companion
and I were sitting on 2 different seats, and these super scary men came
and sat right next to the both of us and we just looked at each other
and were like oh no... hahah but like the ride was fine (on my part...
Hermana Wright was getting slept on... lol) but like 2 hours in, the guy
next to me taps my hand and I have like mini heart attack and I´m like
hehe what? Like suuuuper nervous because ya know, scary guy. And he
turns to me and he´s like "Do you want a little bit of weed?.. it´s the
good stuff... from Reu" and I literally freeze and I´m like haha... no
gracias! that is very very kind of you..." Like can you NOT see the
plaque???? So yeah so that happened and the elders behind us were just
laughing soooo hard because they were like nooo way did that just happen
hahahah.
Life here in Guatemala is such an
adventure. I love the work here and the people just make everything so
much better. I couldn´t be more happy to be in such a wholesome and
beautiful place for the next year of my life! And I LOVE being here,
being a representative of Jesus Christ. I feel SO honored to be able to
share my absolute love and happiness with these faithful people! I love
love love being a missionary. We literally have the light of the world
in our lives and it´s our time to share it with everyone around us!
I´m SO thankful for each and every one of you and I couldn´t be MORE happy to be here!
Love the Lord and you will receive blessings beyond your imagination!
xoxo,
Hermana Pereira ♡
