This week was amazing!

Hello -

Here is Morgans email for this week. Look how tall she is to her companion.  I bet she feels like a giant in Guatemala.  She is happy, as usual, and seems to be doing well. A mission goal of 400 baptisms for the month of February! WOW! I cannot even imagine that! That sounds amazing and so hard, and she is just so sure they can do it! PMA = Positive Mental Attitude! Good for her! The Spanish to English talking thing is funny too! I didn't think she would be there already - sounds like she is!Thanks, again, for your friendships and support of Morgan!!

So this week was amazing. I forwarded you photos from our p-day yesterday. There is this family here from Canada and they were here to build an orphanage, but their project ran out of money, so they are just hanging here for a while. hahaha But they are amazing! And They fed us. BBQ! Chicken, steak, hot dogs, hamburgers....beans, potato salad! IT WAS SO DELICIOUS and so fun. They are an amazing family. They had us share a message with them after in English...I struggled...haha I kept trying to say things in Spanish! I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SPEAK ENGLISH ANYMORE. I cant remember words...my comp will ask me things and I cant remember how it is in English! It's pretty funny!!

Anyway, the baptism!!!! Hermana CHAVELA! Cutest lady! The baptism was great. We have to go to Chimaltenango to the stake center where the font is, which is about 1 hour away and so we all get on a bus, all the members, the members here are amazing!! And we travel together to the stake center!! Everything went great! She had to do it twice and she struggled with it but it was great!

We have some amazing members here in this area. This one family, the mission leader and his wife and kids...LOVE THEM. He kind of reminds me of Jay J. ...like a lot actually! And his cute wife ate something and got a worm in her brain so she is a little off but she is SO FUNNY! I LOVE HER! And their amazing kids Lester and Leah. Ah I just love them. Lester just left for his mission to Mexico and Leah is too cute. I help her with her English homework sometimes and the people here. You guys would just love them!! Seriously.

We are going to Antigua again next week for zone p-day. I am way excited and we have interviews with Pres. Brough.

Today I contacted a lady on the bus that I thought was American but couldn't tell, so I contacted her in Spanish...she just just looked at me and said "I'm a Jew..." like kind of mean. It took all I had not to laugh...and all I could say was, well Hermana, you are always invited to the church!! haha anyways, ya contacting is fun. The people in this area are hard. They don't want anything!!

But we have some amazing investigators. I am so excited about them. Kimberly, Amelia, Maricela, Josue...they are so great! They will get baptized.

I don't know if I told you but our goal for baptisms in the month of March is 400...as a mission!! PRAY FOR US! I know we can do it! We are working hard to prepare for it and it is going to be an incredible month!!I am going to try right now to send pictures!! LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!

I pray for you always and hope you are doing great! Keep smiling. We have the one thing that will bring us true joy...so never be anything but happy!! LOVE YOU!
