Don't Lose the Luz (Semana 24)

thanks for the superbowl package fam
QUE HONDA!!! Hows everyone doing?!?
Mexico has been pretty great these past couple of weeks!!! I don't know what all to say!
This week we have been visiting a bunch of people and almost all of our nights are full of visits, which is awesome for 2 reasons-
1. We are able to have lessons with all the people in the familias because they are actually all home and the lessons are really awesome with more people!
2. People here in Mexico like to feed us so we get dinner like every night which is so cool!! Everyone here makes really good food and you know we eat good!

The familias that we have been teaching lately are La Familia Garcia, Celia y su fam, Grace y su fam, Carlos y Jennifer, y Laura.
All of them are so awesome and special in their own ways!
One thing that we have been really focussing on with all of them as of lately is building su FE (FAITH) en Jesucristo!! Fe is having a firm creencia en algo that moves you to act. Fe is a word of action. In the Book of Mormon, Alma Ch. 32, Verse 28-42. fe is compared to a seed that must be cared for to grow. How do we grow our faith?? The same way by growing a seed. By working on it daily, reading and studying the scriptures, praying always, and going to church are just a few great examples of growing your faith. (www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm/alma/32.21 ) (y'all should read it)
So yeah we have been teaching about faith a lot this week and how faith helps us in all we do!! 
That scripture leads me to the next thing that we have been focusing on this week; The Book of Mormon. It is such an amazing and inspired book of scripture!! I invite everyone to read it!! Even if you aren't Mormon, I invite you to read it! It is literally another testament of Jesucristo!! 

Last story of the week real quick! Sorry mom maybe you shouldn't read this part, haha. Ok so last week we lost power. It was really weird because we had just payed the light bill. We were like ok we will just call the dueño tomorrow. We just had to walk around in the house getting ready with a small flashlight that actually gave off a lot of light. So it turns out there was some "gang activity" or something like that in a sector of our colonia and some bullets had hit some power thing (don't worry mom we're safe). Back to the light. We had to rely a bunch on this small flashlight because it was pitch black in the house. We were basically helpless without this light. I was then like to my comp Delcid, "dang bro this light is like Jesucristo. He literally is the Light of the World. Without Him we would be lost and basically helpless without Him"  and he was like "woah fam, thats deep, you're so right". Jesus es literalmente our LUZ!!! We must always build our faith and rely on Him everyday and He will always be that light in our lives!!

well thats all!! talk next week!!
les amo y les extraño!!
