July 4, 2016 What a shocker! -- Peronia, San Cristobal 5

Hey family,

Happy fourth of July!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bueno, This week was an extremely long one!!!

I don't have too many amazing experiences to share, but um . . . I got shocked in the shower. Here in Guatemala, water heaters don't exist, so you make a really big shower head to hold a lot of water before it leaves and throw a whole ton-load of electricity into it and whalaaa! You have hot water. Well, in our house, we have two bathrooms. One is super-duper small (mine) and the other super king (Elder Diaz), but all of our electricity is on the same circuit. So if we shower at the same time, a ton-load of electricity here and a ton-load there equals no electricity and freezing cold water for everyone. (I already had super cold water for my first six months, but still, hot water is nice.) Anyway, we were short on time to get ready and Elder Diaz was in the shower. I ran all around and turned off all of the lights then jumped in the dark shower and used only bursts of water quickly then turned it off as fast as I could (as to not turn of the hot water for Elder Diaz). Well in one burst, I raised my arm super-fast to wash off soap and tada!!! My arm had a very soothing and lovely ZAP!!! I finished my shower and then turned on the light to look. The high-tech shower head had a ground wire designed to prevent shacking someone, but someone had graciously cut it so I got to act as the ground.  :).

Well this week, Jennifer told us that she received her answer and she wants to be baptized! She will be baptized this Saturday hopefully with her little sister Nahomy. Woohooo!!!

I love you all very much.
