Monterrey Mac: Feliz Cinco de Mayo!! (Semana 36)

HOLA HOLA HOLA!!!

RICHIE

Just gotta wish everyone a happy late 5 de Mayo!!! Hope everyone had a great day celebrating with tacos and chips and salsa because here in Mexico we don't celebrate it all - jajaja. We didn't do anything. It actually isn't a real holiday here jaja. America just had to have a reason to eat tacos so they stole it from Mexico, and I don't blame them 'cause tacos are the BEST!

This past week we have been working super hard and doing our best as usual. Elder Perez is one great missionary and I am so glad I got to be his last companion. He goes home tomorrow and he has really helped me a lot. We actually got transfer calls last night and I am going to be companions with my dude Elder Guerrero and I'm will be a district leader. So this will be interesting.

This week we had one of the coolest things ever happen. Hard work and obediencia pay off y'all! Ok so there is a really awesome family in the ward, la familia Sanchez. On sunday of last week they brought a friend to church who is super cool. His name is Richie. We started to talk with him and then all of the sudden he asked us when he could be baptized! He is such an awesome dude and is really loving the Church. He is planning to be baptized in a couple of weeks and is super excited!!

This past week we also had divisions a few times to help the other area find people to teach and then with Elder Duran because my companion had to go to the office to get ready to go home. The divisions were pretty fun and we did a bunch of work and finished with some ice cream jajaja.

The last cool thing that we did was on Thursday. We had a great activity to celebrate Mothers day and Kids day. We brought a bunch of investigadores and less active members and it was a super fun night. The men all made tacos for the moms and chilidogs for the kids. We helped serve and were able to share a message. I love being a missionary especially here in Santa Rosa. This ward is so awesome and I just love being here!

Final thought - In my studies this past week I was reading in the Book of Mormon and I found one of my favorite verses, Its in Alma 36:3

“Whosoever shall put their trust in God shall be supported in their trials, and their troubles, and their afflictions, and shall be lifted up at the last day.”

Well thats all I got folks...

I hope everyone has a great week!!

Les amo y les extraño!
