No group email again, so here's some excerpts from family letters:
I sincerely can't pick just one favorite scripture, the Book of Mormon is lleno (full) of them and my testimony is built on that amazing book. I bought a tiny English one that I carry everywhere so when I don't understand exactly what a verse is saying I can quickly look it up in my English one lol. Honestly I feel so incredibly blessed to have grown up speaking the language of the Restoration. The book of Mormon is the truth in any language, I have no doubt about that, but to me, it is most powerful in English, todavia lol. I'm trying to read more in Spanish though, cause I know at some point (like when I finish the book of Mormon for the first time) I'm going to read it again in Spanish. Woooooo I'm so excited! I'm getting better every day, The Lord is blessing me so much.
Mum, I sincerely believe that the Lord is blessing you (and all our family) with trials during this time while you still have two missionaries out. (BTDUBS SO COOL THAT ABBY GETS TO TRAIN HER LAST TWO TRANSFERS. I need to email her lol)) Sometimes its hard to have such a positive outlook when people don't follow through on commitments or don't come to church, but then you have a baptism or read an amazing scripture and the Lord reminds us that He has always been there for us. I am so grateful for His loving guidance all throughout our lives. Angie shared this scripture in her email last week, 2 Nephi 2-6. This is the hope and light and everlasting happiness of the gospel. How incredibly blessed we are to know the truth and to know the plan!
Oh by the way, we had a baptism!!! LIDA PANTUJ is from the highlands of Guatemala and is moving to a city like 30 min away any day now, but she has grown so much in these two months. I emailed Dad about her last week, when she had her interview with President, and he cleared her for baptism. She is amazing. I know she is going to be so strong. And pretty much all the elders in our zone came and we bought a cake and it was so great!!!
Also, any ideas on how to ''spark' the ward members into missionary work? Or just into getting together more and feeling more closeknit? This ward is struggling right now because they are always thinking about how great the ward was in the past and they don't know how to get it back to that great glory days lol. WE NEED ideas for activities!! If you guys can think or tell me about some that you have done in your new ward, We would so appreciate it!!
Love you so so so much. Praying for you every day. And how powerful prayer is, when we do it in the right way.

No group letter today, so here's some thoughts from her letters to family:
Oh how I miss brownies. The simple things in life. When I get home can we please make a whole bunch of brownies and naniamo bars? Or maybe not cause I'll be really fat...
I'm so glad you guys are still doing MTC hour. that helped me so much, just to have that time specifically set aside to study the scriptures, set goals, and review progress through journalling.. seriously is the mission. straight up. Mum, my testimony is so built on the book of mormon. I cannot express the amount of gratitude I have for that amazing book and the prophets who spent so much time writing it for us. Sometimes I feel like they were writing specifically to me. What an incredible privilege we have to read it every day.

Who knows, maybe my comp will push me off a mountain and I'll break a leg cause we were in the mountains a ton this week and it is so gorgeous. I might have to marry a Guatemalan and come back to live here in the mountains. My heart is so happy the whole time we are there and I always hate to leave.
We got new standards for how to count if our investigators are progressing and stuff like that and I honestly thing that it will help us so much to be able to have more strong converts that will be a blessing to the work. And it is so focused on the Book of Mormon and helping people gain a testimony of that amazing book and I am so EXCITED!!

Yikes!! So sad to hear about Kelsey and Breckon and wow, Satan is working hard..
I was reading this morning in Alma 51:31 which is now one of my fav escrituras - Each and every one of us needs to be STRONG and SKILLFUL in the ways of the Lord. There is no replacement and no one can study your scriptures for you. When we're at the battlefront (every single day) I want to be so strong and skillful that Satan and all his numerous hosts will be met with utmost disappointment.
Standard of truth, eh? Don't know if I've even heard that, I would love it if you could send it! And I'll find a way to print it out lol. We had a baptismal interview this week with LIDIA who we have both come to adore and love, but she had some issues with question 4. President is coming to give us our interviews on Friday and he's gonna interview her too. I was struck again at the power of the priesthood and the authority even the DLs have that people confide in them and trust them to be able to help them solve their problems and improve their lives. We are 18-21 yr olds and these people with so much more experience trust us because we are set apart as the Lord's personal representatives. SO COOL. Also Alma 51:31 is now one of my fav escrituras. LOVE YOU THANK YOU FOR THE DOCTRINAL DISCUSSION I NEED IT AND LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!
LOVE YOU ALL SO SO MUCH

Happy New Year!
January 2, 2017
HOLA FAMILIA!! (Dad, check your FB messenger pls :D ) FELIZ AÑO NUEVO!!!
Guatemalans absolutely love fireworks and all things to do with fire so for Christmas and New years they set the world on fire and I was sincerely scared LOL. But don't worry, I'm still alive so we're all good. Hope you guys lit at least a few things on fire, cause what better way to celebrate the time we have than to set the world on fire, right? I love fire haha.
We had such a fantastic week!!!! Our goal that our president sent us was to get 10 new people with baptismal dates for this week or 2 new families. We only found 9, and 1 family, but man the Lord is seriously preparing people. In one of our lessons with Mildred, a mom of 3 whose husband is a hardcore catholic, we took the president of the RS with us and wow members are so key. We talked about the restoration (we had already explained the PofS in other lessons) and it was literally so cool. I can't express how important the testimony of that member was. She testified of the true church and how it helps us change our entire lives and our families and we can become better, I sincerely believe that without that testimony, Mildred would not have accepted our invitation to be baptized, after she reads and discovers this gospel for herself. I am so excited for her!!
We got to do SERVICE this week!! Instead of our Weekly Planning session (that we had another day, don't worry) we went and painted a school before they all go back from vacations, with our whole district, it was so sweettt!! Oh, and transfers were last week so we have an awesome new zone and they opened another area in our zone so we have another companionship - more elders...yay... haha nah, they're all so cool and fun and I love working with these people who all have so much faith. They strengthen me every time we get together and talk, even if it's only when we're playing basketball for p-day and I school them all(; that's a lie, I'm so bad.. but I haven't lost all my skills yet haha.
Okay, probably the best experience of my mission happened this week, get ready:
We were in the home of a die-hard Lutheran whose husband is a ''maso menos'' investigator so we stopped by. He wasn't home but we sang a song with his wife and I knew my comp didn't want to stay too long, but I felt impressed to share Alma 7:11-12, which has become a pretty popular scripture for missionaries, or so it seems. But Anyway, I read it in my broken Spanish (cause reading and writing are still really, really hard lol) and I just felt an overwhelming truth to what I was reading. I honestly don't know exactly what happened. She started to share her stories of healing and the miracles that God had done in her life, but all I could do was reflect over and over and feel that warmth wash over me over and over and over again. I know He lives, guys. I have a burning testimony of Him and His power to heal and to comfort us. He wants to rescue us from whatever we are going through and wants to hold our hand and experience the happy times with us too. I have that ''burning testimony'' we always hear about. It's a seriously incredible feeling and I feel so blessed to get to spend this ENTIRE YEAR being His personal representative and testifying of Him. He is my Savior and the Savior of the world. And He loves you personally!!
Happy new year!!! Keep serving others and remember that the Savior is the reason for every season of the year!

MORE CHRIST
December 26
Sucabano wichilal y quinchabejes!! (Hola fam and friends in quechì - a native Guatemalan language we're learning from one of our investigators!!)
Hope all y'all's Christmases were sweet and full of the true reason for the season!
This week was our Semana Navideña for our ward and we had an awesome activity every night. We ate way too many cookies and drank a ton of hot chocolate, but its all good cause we're in the mission! We had a bonfire and karaoke one night and the bishop made me sing in English in front of the whole ward.. Don't know if that was 100% within the rules, but we're trying to work more with the members and I think singing for them helped them to understand that we're fun people as well as missionaries lol. On Thursday we were in charge of the activity and we centered it on Gratitude, the theme of the day in the church's Christmas Initiative, LIGHTTHEWORLD. (If you haven't gotten a chance yet, go watch the video MORMON.ORG. it is so good!!)) We talked about all the things we can be grateful for, especially in this season of christmas! And then the kids killed some awesome pinatas shaped like Santa and Mrs. Claus. So FUN!!
Also, we literally ran home every night this week because of all the activities and the rule that we have to be in our casa by 9:00pm. Maybe that'll help me with all this bread Im eating haha.
Hna Vazquez and I had a really cool and very simple experience this week. We were singing Master the Tempest is raging and it started raining and pouring super loud (especially with our tin roof). We sang in Spanish first and then in English and by the end of the song, the rain completely stopped. I know it sounds really simple, but to me it was sincerely a testimony that Heavenly Father knows and understands all the ''storms'' that are going on in our lives. He wants to help us. I am working on making my prayers more sincere right now and sincerely telling Our Heavenly Father all the crazy things that are going on and my fears and worries. I know He loves each and every one of us and He wants to answer our prayers. He is so close when we pray, it's like talking to your dad. And He will answer your prayers.
Little funny thing I said wrong in Spanish (there's a ton more, don't worry):
There's a hymn titled ''Asomobro Dio a los Magos'' (in English, With Wondering Awe) and one time I said MANGOS instead of Magos (wise men) and now Hna Vazquez and I can't sing that song without busting up laughing.. It's only gotten us in trouble a couple times lol.
Christ is our example in everything. Our goal in this life is to become more and more like him. I know when we serve others we are fulfilling that mandate and we are developìng His attributes. Keep up the fantastic work you are doing and continually stretch yourselves in everything.

Family Skyping :)
Monday, December 19, 2016
All those little things are dead cockroaches. We were helping an old lady clean her house and found a colony of them lol it was crazy scary and hilarious
Lidia is the little Guatemalan lady and shes leaving for COBAN tomorrow and we're super sad
Hna vazquez is super cute.
We were in the mountains!!
I made tortillas!!
Mosiah 18:21 pretty sure you wanted us to memorize that before I left, but that didn't happen. But I found it again and thought of you and how we really need unity and love in this work or it won't be able to go forward.
Also we had a zone conference and it was sweeeeett! We watched the Work and the Glory in English (thank goodness) and I learned a ton. The rules are so necessary. It's crazy how obedience brings blessings, but exact obedience brings miracles. Also, we fast a lot in the mish, and I am seriously gaining a testimony of fasting. We are finding so many families its incredible!! And I wish I was more adept at technology cause I don't know anything and I've got to figure out some tech things for Christmas. Please pray that everything will work out. I'm gonna go set up my skype account right now. Pray really hard lol.
Just a couple of investigators that are my favs right now:
Valeska - she's like 20 and has a little boy and is actually reading the pamphlets (unlike most other investigators) and has a ton of questions. Her mom has been inactive for like 20 years and honestly she is so prepared. I love it when the Lord blesses our efforts with people like her.
Nanci - Also has a little boy and is 18, came to church for her first time yesterday and loved it. We found her in a Panaderia because of our addiction to bread!!! So I'm justifying this addiction because it is helping the work(;
LOVE YOU ALL

Reunion de Nuevos
December 12
La Motivacion es la expiacion para la salvacion de los hijos de los hombres
English: The motivation is the atonement for the salvation of the children of men
It applies specifically to missionaries, but I think it can apply to all of us, no matter what walk of life we are in at the moment. Christ came to earth to do the will of the Father, whose will it is that we can all be HAPPY in this life and return to live with Him again! 2 Nefi 2:25, Moses 1:39
We are also studying John as a mission this month to be able to follow Christ´s example to do the will of the Father in all things. I love that and am so grateful for inspired leaders who can receive revelation for us to be able to progress and become more like the Savior. Our purpose in this life is to become more like Him. And ITS CHRISTMAS TIME!! We get to remember the Savior especially right now! I think one of the reasons we put up so many lights on trees and in the streets and in our houses is because Jesus is the light of the world. And each of us have a light that we can share when we are trying to be like Him.
President Thomas S. Monson said, (Oct 2015) "Each of us came to earth having been given the Light of Christ. As we follow the example of the Savior and live as He lived and as He taught, that light will burn within us and will light the way for others. My brothers and sisters, our opportunities to shine surround us each day, in whatever circumstance we find ourselves. As we follow the example of the Savior, ours will be the opportunity to be a light in the lives of others, whether they be our own family members and friends, our co-workers, mere acquaintances, or total strangers."
Also, different topic, but I was studying Mosiah 9:17
17 Yea, in the strength of the Lord did we go forth to battle against the Lamanites; for I and my people did cry mightily to the Lord that he would deliver us out of the hands of our enemies, for we were awakened to a remembrance of the deliverance of our fathers.
There are crazy things going on in the world right now and we need to go forth in the strength of the Lord or we will not be able to handle it. I seriously have a testimony of that and I know that His strength and atonement is the only way we can do anything in this life.
Be a light!! Especially in this Christmas time, but all the time too!! Have a fantastic week!!

VA PUES 2 MESES!!
December 5
Literally everyone says VA PUES, after like every sentence and its hilarious. But I've been a missionary for 2 Months today!! Doesn't feel real and I don't feel like I know enough spanish yet, but its all good!
Last week we had our first Reunion de las Hermanas with almost all the Sisters in my mission and it was fantastic! My mission president's wife has a saying that has become the theme of this mission: LOVE MORE, JUDGE LESS. I love it so much. We need to always try to see others how God sees them, becuase it really isnt our place to judge whether or not someone will accept the gospel or do something. We've been trying really hard to talk to everyone in the streets, even and maybe especially those who don't seem very likely to accept the gospel. Its super fun, there's so many crazy people here in Guate.
Another little quote has been going through my head almost every day for the past 3 weeks. Its a quote by a professional swimmer or something about how he got to be so good and why he's different
from all the average swimmers: I KICK WHEN I DONT WANNA KICK. This helps me so much when we're still walking at like 8pm and Im tired and we have tamales waiting for us at our house, I keep kicking, (or walking) because I know there's an awesome purpose, even if i cant see it in the moment.
We had our first classes de ENGLISH!! Didn't go quite as well as I'd planned, but it was fun to talk in English, even if not everyone understood lol. Also, Hna Vazquez and I have a new saying. There's literally a bakery (Panaderia) like every ten steps and we have so little self control so we buy a lot of bread lol. HOWEVER. Our new saying is COMPRANDO PAN PARA BAUTIZAR!! Buying bread to baptize!! Its great.
GUYS KEEP KICKING!! You can do it!!! There is an awesome work at hand and we get to be a part of it! Keep kicking, keep being awesome!!
Hna Townsend(:
Answers to questions: Yes, we pay the members, yes, Im eating fruits and veggies, at least 2-3 every day(= We also get the Liahona here (all the missionaries) and I read the first presidency message last night. I loved the idea of having PEACE throughout the year, just like the peace of christmas time, through the sacrament,and remembering our covenants. Thanks for your hug, its warming the cockles of my heart right now. The christmas devotional last night was in spanish and it was kinda rough.. but the english music was the best, i literally almost cried. Hna vazquez is learning english too and since she understands a lot, i speak in english more than I probably should lol. Nah, I speak a ton of spanish, but it was nice last night to hear other peopleee sing in english. LOve and miss you all so much!! The church is true and we're doing a whole lot about it down here in the mountains of GUATE!!
