Dear Family and Friends:
We're coming down to the final weeks of my mission now huh?
So weird.... all day long, I can say that I only have 24 more days left of my mission, but it still doesn't feel like that. I feel like I always have been a missionary and that I always will be. It's a little hard for me to get a grip that I'm almost finished here...it doesn't really seem real. But I guess we'll see how I feel when that final day comes, lol.
Just wanted to let you all know that this past Friday, Dery Amabilia De Leon, was baptised. We had the baptism planned for Saturday, but with the Xela Temple being dedicated and everything it was just easier to move it to Friday.
It was so funny, before we went to into the font she got SUPER nervous and was like acting all goofy and laughing for no reason...when we told her that she needed to take off her ankle braclets she was like, "ok, yeah sure", but then took off for the pila and walked into the water, which scared her a little bit, and then came back and took it off, laughing hysterically, which was funny...overall it was one of the most memorable baptisms that I've had yet.
So yeah, this past week the Xela Temple was finally dedicated, and Saturday it was the cultural presentation...which was AMAZING! All the youth from each stake from all of Guatemala, got to do like an act and dance!!! It was so cool....I hope that I can get a copy of that to show you guys, lol.
Then Sunday was the dedication and only the members could come and see that so all the work we did during the week isn't going to be seen until next week....hopefully.
You gotta love ol Elder Uchtdorf...lol...he just started going at it, making jokes, and talking to everyone in English, lol, as if they understood him, lol...then after like 5 minutes of talking he was like "Oh!, and pulled over the translator and was like...this might work a little better if you said it, lol". Such a funny guy, lol!! There's rumor that maybe he is coming to the mission to talk a little with us...since this is a new misión and we've never had an general authority talk with us.
Anyways, I'll tell Hna. Flor to make the scripture covers then, HAH!...you guys are going to flip when you see them, they really are suuuuuuuuuuuuper cool!!! (We are having leather scripture covers handmade and customized for us! Excited!)
Anyways, for this week no baptism...going strong in this area with one every other week, but we'll see what happens.
Love you all tons,
Elder Marquis
