21 de Enero

Ok so first off my zone leader`s a liar and I am not opening an area, my current area is called Xepon (shepone) I`d might as well be opening it though as the missionaries that have been there before have been pretty lazy and when I came we had only one investigator, and my comp who`s been there for 6 weeks, only wants to work with members and inactives Oh and play soccer. But i´m senor Comp and as soon as i can ease into the reins we`re gonna contact like crazy. The wierd thing about Xepon is that it`s still in momos zone but it is nothing like the other areas first of all it`s the farthest away (bout an hour and a half by car) and the transport only comes once every two days so when we come down for p-day we have to spend a couple nights at the zone leaders wasting all of tuesday and half of wednesday, because of this president only wants us coming down twice a month, which super sucks because there is nothing in Xepon buy to eat except locally grown veggies and beans and although there is a computer lab with internet we`re told that it takes five hours to send one email, no joke, so we`ll see how that goes. As of right know they let us come down because there`s a conference next week which would make us unable to buy for or use internet for 2 and a half week. But I`m trying to figure out a way for us to get into momos and back the same day. As for how it looks its sierra which means deserty with pine trees also the city is built atop mountains wtih many deep gorges making visiting most parts of our area extreamly hard, and we walk a ton.
  With the area change I no longer live in the church but in a small house located on church grounds. (which is a new building and everything is pretty sweet, with a lot more space too. But its not as quite as theres an evangelical church nextdoor, ( I don`t know how much you know about Evangelical churches but they love to sing into megaphones and guatemalans in general can`t sing). Anyway thats about it for now.

This week has been a rather interesting one, our really positive investigators got back from HueHue but unfortunatly the husbands aging father is living there also and he is a big time catholic, and as soon as he heard that we were visiting hello this is Elder ballhorns friend hows it going we  t that we were visiting he forbid them from taking lessons on the grounds that they are living in the house of his brother who is in the states and they don´t have the right to invite the mormons over and further more if they want to talk with us they will have to pay him for the right.  Fortunatly they are concerned about it and I still think they will get baptized and face the concequences
