WEEK 70

CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Brit's House? NAH..haha

So first of all, it was great to see some of you and talk to you guys. 

I'll share some experiences I have had this Christmas. 

We had an activity at the President's house. We had some activities and I got a new Christmas tie. We ate some good food! 

 GOTTA LOVE ELDER LLOYD!

We did some activities also to try to light the world. We baked some cookies with some members and later in the night we went to people's houses and sang Chrismas songs and gave them cookies. It was fun. 

Also, we wrapped about 35 Book of Mormons and gave them to people. We did this in some interesting ways haha. The first is that we went on a bus and announced that we were giving out free gifts. After that we went to a gas station and the people that pulled in to get gas we would give them a book and talk to them. Lastly we simply hit the streets and gave people books. It was a good experience and I just hope these people read the book and call us haha. 

 LIGHT THE WORLD

 We also made brownies with a recent convert "Beatriz" it was her first time eating brownies and she loved it! 

Christmas eve we ate pozole and broke a piñata. 

We watched the movie "COCO" and it was super good! 

We had zone conference. Really good. 

We put a baptismal date for Jose de Jesus Sanchez that's 17 for the 6th of January!!!!! super excited for him! 

Love you guys !!! 

WEEK 69

Temple Trip

So to start off I got super sick last Tuesday. Pretty sure it was food poisoning. The whole day suffering haha, but I am good now. 

So we went to the temple with a few investigators to see the lights. We took one family of 7 and another family of 3, one other plus 2 recent converts so that was good!! We did a tour in the visitors center and they were talking a lot about families. I enjoyed it and made me miss you guys a little more haha. The lights were super cool and they had a nice nativity scene. The spirit was really powerful the whole time we were there. 

We did an activity with the young men to "light the world" so we handed out some suckers with cards on them. It turned out alright. I am planning something a little better for this week. 

We were teaching about baptism and they asked us what they need to do to be baptized so that was nice to see the desire that they had to be baptized. 

Cant wait to see you guys for Christmas!!!

WEEK 68

Virgin Mary Day

So Today and  tomorrow is the day of the Virgin Mary. Pretty much everyone here in Mexico is Catholic so it's been a little crazy during this time. Almost every night in December we see people saying their prays and singing to the virgin. 

We ate a turkey dinner again with a family and it was amazing and the hermana was kind enough to give us a stocking for Christmas!! full of candy!! 

We have an investigator that has had a lot of problems with his family due to his drinking problems. He told us he wants to change and he has about 4 months without drinking! He his going to progress really fast. Cool to see what  a real desire from the heart can change lives. 

Go and light the world. 

Love you all.

WEEK 67

8 months left!!!!!!

Not too much to say this week. The first week was a little different to get used to my new comp but we are working hard. 

Some crazy guy always yells at us in the street saying "Iglesia Iglesia!!!!" , which means church, over and over again. We contacted a girl that wanted me to come back for her after the mission haha, she is crazy. We got offered weed like a thousand times this last week. This stuff is pretty normal but it was a crazy first week with my new companion. 

We have some solid investigators but a lot of the ones that want to get baptized can't go to church until January so that is tough. We are teaching a lot of prepared people! 

Fernando, one of the recent converts blessed the sacrament the first time this week! He messed up a few times but he was super excited for that opportunity. It's awesome seeing the converts progess so well in the gospel. 

I hope all of you can feel the Christmas spirit. I can even here away from family ha. #lighttheworld 

Love all of you

MY SHOES....NOT HOLDING UP AS WELL AS EXPECTED!

 There was an Elder that came back from his mission...I knew him as a Missionary

WEEK 66

My 3rd "Kid"

So surprise... I am training again. This will be the 3rd time. His name is Elder Matos. He is from the Dominican Republic and is 23 years old. I am also staying in the same area and I am still district leader. I will be missing Elder Headrick a little we were working really well together. 

We had some really good lessons this week. We were teaching someone about the holy ghost and in the middle of the lesson she told us that she thinks that she is feeling the holy ghost in her life for the first time. She told us that she finally feels happy. This was an amazing experience that I will never forget and how strong the spirit was. 

We were walking down the street and a kid ran up to us saying Elders elders!!! we talked to him and then his dad came. His dad told us that he is not a member yet but that he recieved an answer from God that he needs to listen to us. 

Miss everyone and also I love those trucks!!!! I am definitely driving those when I get back. Also Thankgiving looked awesome!!! I wish I could've been there. 

Do the small things. 

Siempre sonreír :)
