WEEK 83

Por Fin Blanca Fue a la Capilla

This week has been petty good! It is hard working in 2 areas at once but we divided the days up and it worked out for us. Busy days for sure! The trio is going good. We are getting used to it. 

We had the Zone conference. It went good and our class went smooth also. Blanca is progressing very well!! She said that she knows the Book of Mormon is true and she wants to be baptized. She finally came to church also!! Her baptism is scheduled for the 21 of April. 

We have met a lot of people this last week that told us they want to make a lot of changes in their lives. So I'm excited to help them. 

Flor is also progressing a lot!! She has been to church many times and she will be baptized the 14 of April. She just moved tho.. but to the area right next to mine that we share the same church building haha. so that's fine. 

This is the last week of the transfer so I will probably have a new companion next week. 

And congrats to Isabelle!! 

Love all of you!!! 

Siempre Sonreír :) 

BOUGHT A NEW HAT!!

WEEK 82

Ya Estoy en Trío

Hello Family, 

Well to start out I will tell you the news that Elder Smith went home and I am now in a trio with some other Elders. 

They are from the area of Tenayuca which is right next to my area. Their names are Elder Brower from Utah and also Elder Hernandez from Acapulco, Mexico. They are good Elders. We are working hard together but it is a little difficult because now we have 2 areas to work in. This will only last for another 2 weeks until transfers. 

We have found some really prepared people this week. One listened to the missionaries like 20 years ago and now is super interested in our message. 

This last Sunday I also had to give a talk haha. It was about missionary work. I talked for about 20 minutes. Giving talks in Spanish is a lot easier, I'm scared for my homecoming talk haha. 

Also we are going to have a zone conference tomorrow and Elder Humpiri and I prepared a class for it. It is going to be very good... I hope... ha. But it is about how the Gospel of Jesus Christ Blesses and unifies familias. I came up with a cool actividad to do with it. 

We had a lesson with a very interesting person the other day. When we went to go look for him he was hiding from us because he was drinking but one of his friends ratted him out haha so we went to his house to talk. He was not drunk, he was on his first beer but he kept talking in English to us. At the end he said that he wants to go to church with us so we will see how that goes. 

Love all of you!! 

Siempre Sonreír :) 

The Gospel is a Gospel of Joy, Enjoy it.  

WEEK 81

Flor

Hey family! 

To tell the truth not much has happend this past week. 

We had a lesson with a new investigator and she said that she did not feel the need to congregate to our church. We talked a little more on why she felt like that and I gave her an analogy which is, "Many people are content with eating bread their whole life, it is good and it will fill you up, but what if someone offers you a cake. Many people don't feel the need to eat the cake, they have bread, but this cake is super delicious and the only way to know that it is, is by trying it. " The cake is the gospel and just think of what you are missing out on by not trying this cake. 

Also we saw this girl at church that had been going to church since I've been in this area, which is 3 weeks, and they told us she is not a member. So we talked to her and will start teaching her. The best contact are when they are at church haha. 

My companion is going home this week. Random fact- he taught me how to juggle so that is cool. 

Just the normal mission life. 

Love you guys! 

Siempre Sonríen! :) 

I STARTED RUNNING IN THE MORNINGS AND I SAW ELDER MOORE, 

AN EX MISSIONARY THAT CAME TO VISIT!!

WEEK 80

Me falta 5 meses

Hey! 

This week the zone leaders had to give the district meeting classes. It was pretty good. It was that repentance has everything to do with what we do. 

We had a lesson with Blanca this week and we taught the whole rest of the restoration and I recited the first vision (without reading nor looking at, looking her in the the eyes) and the spirit was so strong in that moment. We later explained the Book of Mormon and says that it makes so much sense and that she is going to read it. Cool experience. 

We had a lesson with "new investigators" turns out that they were baptized 13 years ago and just way inactive haha they said it at the very end of the lesson and caught us off guard. 

I guess this ward was having problems before I got here so that is going to be hard to deal with but I will try to help them. 

My companion is probably going to go home for depression so don't be surprised to see me in a trio next week. 

love all of you!!! 

Siempre Sonríen:)
