This is one of my friends from the mish, Elder Cojax from Guatemala. Pretty busy week. We had a Multizona and Consejo de lideres. We cleaned out our list of people to teach. We left all the people that weren't progressing and we're gonna keep looking for new people to teach. We had some awesome lessons this week and we even got to prest some service painting the house of Gustavo, one of the dudes we've been teaching. This week I got some of the rudest rejections in all of my mission! I don't know if something's going on in the states right now, but people just seem to give us dirty looks lately haha! We were contacting one day and some dude went out on his balcony and started shouting Yankees go home! Yankees go home! Your church is giving money to Trump and the CIA to kill kids in Honduras! Get out of our country! We were teaching a recent convert in his house and halfway through the lesson this old guy walked in and said get out of my house right now you gringos! You don't even believe in the Bible and you Mormons worship Joseph Smith! So we just had to bail haha. I was reading this week in Mosiah 24 verses 10 to 20 about the people of Alma suffering afflictions because of Amulon that was put as the ruler over their people. Even though the people of Alma were very obedient and kept the commandments of God they suffered afflictions. They prayed with their thoughts and their hearts and suffered with happiness and great patience in their afflictions. Eventually God freed them from Amulon. Every trial and affliction that we have in this life is especially for us. God knows us and knows what we need to suffer in order to progress. He expects us to suffer with happiness and patience our afflictions. My time is coming to an end here in the mission but to be honest I've learned more than I have in my whole entire mission in these last changes. I think Heavenly Father is just making the final adjustments and fixing a few things so everything will be dope when I get home. Love you and have a good week! Elder Sullivan
