Week Two in Guatemala

So today we were able to tour the city of Guatemala...kind of. We road around the city in a tour bus. We went to the market (The DL Elder Andreson helped me as I tried to get some Pan Pipes...which I got for half the price that they were selling it for :) fun), we went to Wendies, and we gave out Books of Mormon. Hermana Skousen and I were able to give them to two people. It was wonderful to talk to them. One of their names was Juán. We had no idea what he was saying to us but we knew that he was expressing things that were personal to him. I hope that he reads the Book of Mormon and I hope that some "grown up" missionaries have the opportunity to teach them. 

Last night we were given our cameras back! Today was a "transfer day" and our Latino friends left early this morning. The CCM gave us our cameras back so that we could take pictures with them and so we could take pictures in Guatemala City.

In the last email I wrote down what I was going to say before the computer time and then I just typed everything up...this time I'm just writing. It's hard to know what to say. I think that from now on I will try to have things written up for me to tell you. Something that could help is if you ask me questions for what you want to know?  

That is so awesome about Grandma Carlson! I had no idea that she worked in the Guatemala Temple. What a neat thought to think that I could be living in the same house that she lived in. I remember her very clearly. I wish that I could have known her better. I was able to go to the Guatemala Temple last week and we´re going again today. If you wonder why you're being especially blessed it's because your name is in the Guatemala temple :D  

I've been called to be the Music Coordinator...or something like that. Basically I'm in charge of organizing the special music numbers and making sure that someone plays the piano and that the page numbers for the hymns are put up. 

Uncle John I got your Dear Elder letter. I'm not sure if they print them off here or in Provo but it definitely works. Pretty awesome! 

My Spanish is getting better slowly but surely. When we went to Wendies today the woman behind the counter thought I wanted 18 Burritos de Pollo and 10 Papas Fritas...but I was able to work it out. It was kind of stressful at the time but looking back on it is pretty funny. 

I'm very grateful for our ward. Everyone has been so kind, loving, and supportive to us. We have been greatly blessed to be surrounded by such wonderful people. 

I'm just about out of time. I love you all! I love letters in the mail (hint hint) :D Also, I have more time to reply in letters than I do to write email. 

I look forward to when I can send you all photos.

Lots of love, 

Hermana Hannah
