Let's play catchup: Disfruten. Photos for DAYZ.

1. These are my boys: Dario, Derwin, Marcos, and Marvin. I'm literally adopting all of them and bringin' 'em home - break out the guest room, Grams!

Just tried to send a video of them rapping "Soy un Hijo de Dios" and failed miserably, but just know that it is my favorite thing ever in the history of all my twenty years. 

2.Antigua is disgustingly beautiful. Have I mentioned?

3. This is, quote unquote, "un limon REAL". All yo' lemons are just posers, ya'll.

4. My favorite baptism in the history of all baptisms ever. Except maybe that of Christ's. That was a kind of important one. But this is Mauricio. He's been married to Eva, a return missionary, for more than a year, has been going to church for even longer than that, but never felt like he received an answer if Joseph Smith was a prophet. Long story short, he had an interview with our district leader, figured out what was impeding him from getting an answer, fixed it, got it, got baptized, and they're already planning their temple date. And guess who's gonna be there to see them get married for TIME AND ALL ETERNITY??? This moi.

Also it is due to Eva and Mauricio that I'm engordandome in Antigua - they feed us every. stinking. time. we go there.

 5. Mandatory shot of Calle Arca. Antigua's gorgeous. Have I mentioned once or twice?

6. This is Antigua for ya: Lots of colors and the mandatory TukTuk. (Whose drivers always try to charge us at least 10 Quetzales more than everyone else. I always get a sick sense of pleasure out of being all, "Really? Thirty Qs? That's interesting because they always charge 10." I'm all, "NOT SO GRINGA ANYMORE, BUDDDAY.") (#youvebeeninguatetoolongwhen...)

7. We are the Charlie's Angels of Antigua.  #nosepreocupe #wegotitcovered

Also there was a three-mission conference yesterday and Elder Cook came and it was literally thebesthingofmyentirelife. I had piel de gallina the whole time. Also his wife is the cutest thing I have ever seen in my life. Cuter than...than puppies. In a wicker basket on a beach cruiser bicycle. With a baby and maybe some kittens. 

Also I have a new companion, Hermana Navarro! Hermana Satterthwaite didn't go far - still in my district, as a matter of fact. It's a wee bit chilero because Hermana Navarro and I have the same mission mama - Hermana Coleman. And we both use the same phrases that we learned from her. It's a good time. And she's tiny and laughs like this: "Aha ha ha ahee hee hee!" It's possibly my favorite thing about her.

I love you cool cats so darn much.

I'm assuming you've already read the Conference Liahona from November, but I just got it and am dying. So if you haven't read and studied and reread and restudied it, jump on dat cool train! It's the best. It's literally so cool, guys, that God is talking to us today through a prophet - exactly as he did in the past. #nuncacambia. Also you should study Mosiah 15 - best ever.

Keep the eternal picture, loves - this gospel is huge, it's true, and it is disgustingly beautiful.  Study your little hearts out, seek out every opportunity to learn and grow your testimony, because you're going to find a peace that will tell you that God's got a great big plan for each one of us and that He loves us very much indeed - so much that He sent His Son to die for us and He has restored the true church of Christ, the same one Christ established when He came to earth. It's here, guys. Ask God if it is because I promise you I promise you I promise you that if you have true intent - o sea, if you are willing to follow the steps of Christ - he will give you a peace in your heart and in your mind that will tell you alllll of this is true. Every last bit of it. 

Love you more than I love my new adopted hijos. PSYYYYYCH, that's impossible. But I love you all equally.

Love,

Hermana Brower
