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!!
