What's up y'all?!
Well here in Mexico it's the Mexican Revolution Anniversary!! We celebrated this morning by playing futbol for about 4 hours and eating tacos!! Which is just about what we do every Monday but today was extra fun. Also tomorrow is cambios so a bunch of people in our zone are leaving, which means a bunch of new missionaries come tomorrow which will be really exciting!
Ok so today we have even less time than last week because it's a holiday so almost everything is closed or will close early. But three really awesome things happened this week that I want to talk to!
SO first this week mi compeñero y yo found this kid named Evan and his mom. We started talking with them and teaching them and they are really really acceptive. They really want to find the truth and have more peace in their lives because they have been having a hard time seeing the Lords hand in their lives as of lately and are trying to grow closer to Him. Its hard at times to teach Barbara (the mom) because of work but Evan is always in the street when we pass by so we like to take our time and talk with him. We are actually becoming pretty good friends and he is making even more friends in the church. He was really excited when we went to church this week and is looking forward to the youth stake activity this week! Oh and the best part is that they speak INGLES and actually prefer it! So now I have to take the lead in the lessons and sort of become my trainers trainer because he is not that great and confident with his ingles like me y mi español. It's pretty funny because one day after talking with them Elder Diaz turned to me and said "I know how you feel now, its freaking hard. How the heck are you doing it in español?"
Ok, the second cosa is pretty short and cool. There was a Face to Face event last night for the YSA and the Missionaries were invited. It was Elder Ballard y Elder Oaks and its was actually really good. Well part of it. The part talking about the importance of continuing doing the small and simple things was good. The part talking about marriage and dating was not cool. hahaha.
AND finally the most amazing thing this week was the baptism of Rocio!! It was so so amazing and she was so Happy!! Her testimony of the Gospel and of Jesucristo is so so Strong! Her story is really sad. Her husband was really ill and passed away a few months ago and she was really depressed. The first time we met her you could she the pain and sadness in her face because of the loss of her husband. But now she is so so happy. It's amazing the fact that familias can be eternal. This gives her so much peace and hope!! Yo tambien. The knowledge that I can live with my family forever is so amazing and that is part of the message that made me want to serve a mission. To help others know this for themselves
Well thats all I got today!! Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!!
I sure am grateful for all of y'all!!
Estoy muy muy agradecido por todos de usteded!!
Les amo y les extrano
