1- Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
My aunt, just recently lost her baby, she lived for 29 days, in pain, suffering and in a lot of hard conditions that I cannot imagine being in, specially watching your child go through that kind of pain. It wasn't easy for her, she cried a lot, and though she still doesn't understand why God decided to take her away from her, still she's there...but one thing I admire in her SO MUCH, that's her strength, though she doesn't understand (and probably never will), she just accepts God's will and she's fighting again all costs to stay strong but still letting it all out, pushing it away from her system. I am SOOOOO proud of her, and just wanted to be with her even for a while. That's one of the things that pushed me to go to Guatemala for the weekend, I really wanted to see her, be there for her, listen to her, hold her hand. And so I did. I was with her as she showed me pictures of her baby when she put makeup on her because she had injuries on her little white cheeks because of the tape that hold her tubes together. She cried as she went through the pictures with me. I couldn't say a word, I stood there, holding her hand, and that's all I could do. I couldn't find words to say to her, I freeze and just held her hand. Overall, it was good seeing her, after everything that's happened. Her older daughter is so tall and beautiful! I loved her. Please pray for her, pray for strength from God towards her and her family.
2- Friends that really matter and that I happen to love with all my heart.
The second reason why I went to Guatemala is because of this amazing young man that has stole my heart piece by piece and that I can call My best friend, HE IS SO FRIKIN' AMAZING!!!, seriously, he is.
Have you ever found someone that you can truly share every detail of you and your life and know that that person would never ever judge you, think bad stuff off you and pretend that he knows everything?...well, that's him right there, He is the kindest man I've ever known in my entire life, giving, selfless, hard worker in the work of the Lord (and he does a great job), and not only goes to church "just because", believe me, he really really cares about the doctrine and I truly love him with all my heart!. Makes me a bit sad though, cause we're so far away from each other, I wish I was there or he was here to share life together not only through a screen, but real life, going for a coffee together and talk about stuff that we find interesting and work together at church (I told him that we would make a heck of a great team).
Bottom line is that, he got baptized this past Saturday, and I planned everything to make sure that my visit was a surprise for him, and so his parents were my accomplices, haha, they did such a great job keeping the secret. And for sure surprised him!...I wish I just had a camera right when he saw me, you should have seen his face haha, it was priceless!!...and so, I had lunch with his family (nicest people I've known so far in my life), and they treated me soooo nicely!, it was great spending time with them.
We went to the applebee's and they laughed about my accent a lot, but I had so much fun. Then we went to this hilarious play to the theater and I almost peed my pants, literally, it was the funniest thing...EVER!...
Next day, I got to spend the day with him!, it was sooo nice. We went to this place called San Lucas, very Guatemalan place, very cultural (with all of their weird but yummy food), he bought a lot of treats for me and things for my mom and my best friend (though I felt kinda bad making him spend all that money on me, but I didn't do that on purpose), but he was a gentlemen and a good host. We went back to his house to be with his family for a while and seriously, again, they are the nicest people! and I love the way they treat each other and how they say "I love you" straight away and with no complications at all, a family that worships the Lords and puts him on a pedestal and make him the Lord of their home, and for me, it was so obvious to see it, and made me want to have a family like that for my own. I hope I can someday :)
King's speech was the movie of the night (hardly paid attention to be honest) but it was good hanging out with him on the couch. Perfect ending for a perfect little weekend, Didn't want it to end, but unfortunately, I had to go back to my own place...after all, I have a life you know. haha. But THANK YOUUUU sooo muchhh for being so frikin' nice to me sweetie, you are the best friend someone can have and I'm so blessed to have you in my life! Love you sweetpea.
Here are a couple of pics to show you a lil something from my weekend (stole it from his fb but shh)

Voy a comentar en español porque ya sabés que el español es lo que se me da a mí. Creeme que conocerte ha sido toda una experiencia y como te dije ayer por la noche, creo que Dios ha sido bueno conmigo al darme esta bonita convivencia el fin de semana para recordarme lo bueno que es vivir cerca de Él. Gracias por todos tus comentarios acerca de mi familia. Creeme que fue todo un gusto y un honor tenerte por acá, lo disfruté bastante y la sorpresa... ¿qué te puedo decir?, estuvo genial. Ha sido buenísimo también conocerte por muchas razones, desde el vínculo de fe que nos une hasta por cosas tan mínimas como nuestro color favorito. Sos increíble patoja, una chispita de energía que contagia la alegría que lleva a todos lados. Tenés un gran corazón y sólo quiero que sepás que en Guate siempre tendrás unos brazos que te recibirán con alegría cada vez que se te antojen unos chuchitos. Te quiero un montón. Este fue un buen fin de semana, como pocos.
