This week has been one crazy brazy week!
On Tuesday we had our conferencia de zona which was pretty
good as always. Talked a lot about Jesucristo and His life and works. We focused
a bunch on the final week of His life and it was really really spiritual. It
just makes me think of how much the Lord loves each and everyone of us and
knows us personally! After the conferencia there was a baptism so we stayed and
helped them set up and stuff.
On Wednesday we had a bomb junta de distrito and we brought
youth from the church to help us out with it. We taught each other as in a
youth and missionary compañeros. It was pretty fun and we learned a lot from
each other. The rest of the day we worked really hard and found some really
good people! We had a dope lesson that night with la familia Lopez de Arce. We
talked about the Plan of Salvación and how it's the Plan that God has for us.
They are 3 girls that all play futbol americano and so I talked about how this
plan is like a game plan in football. The purpose for a plan is for us to win.
The Plan that God has for us is so that we win, or in other words that we can
some day return and live with Him! After the lesson we threw the football around
a bit which was super dope! This girl Wendy has an arm.
Well then Thursday happened....so....Thursday started as
your normal Thursday in the mission. Wake up, do some exercise, eat a
"healthy" breakfast, and study. Well we were halfwway through studying
when we get a call from the lideres de zona saying "hola elderes pues
tenemos algo muy especial para ustedes...hoy tienen que ir hasta apodaca a la
capilla en bosques para recoger cosas para la zona y su celular....pues buena
suerte." (basically that we had to go somewhere far to get stuff for the
zone).
So we went to the street to catch a bus. First let me say
this, mi compañero y yo have only ever been in the same area, so we don't know
how to get there. Second, we didn't have a phone that worked so we were
basically 100% sure gonna get lost. And just like that, we did haha. We ended
up having to take about 3 buses and 3 hours to get to the church there. We got
there and our mission president gave us what we came for then we had to go
back. (hey shout out my dude elder Schenck cause I saw him and talked for a
bit). We took the 3 buses back and we finally got back to the area...but there
was a catch. So the bus was super full and we had to push through the people
standing and so I got off, turned around, and just as I did I watched the bus
drive away with my comp still on it hahaahaha. Well I just started walking that
way praying that he would get off soon. About 10 mins later we found each
other. So that was interesting....Then that night there was another baptism in
a different ward and we had special permission to help them with it and it
started at 9:30. We didn't end up getting home till almost 11 haha. Crazy day.
The rest of the week has been tranquilo and full of work.
Carlos and Jennifer are doing good and progressing. We challenged them to read
the Book of Mormon and when we got back they had already read half of the first
book and came with questions! We taught them the word of wisdom and they
promised to live it! Even Carlos who has battled with drugs in the past tiene
ganas para cambiar su vida!!!
Well I got to go!!
les extraño y les amo!!!
con amor
