This week was a pretty average awesome week out here in Holy
Pink (Santa Rosa for all y'all English people) . So I don't have a whole bunch
of time and I don't have much to say so I'll just give some highlights with a
couple of videos. Ok so to start off the week on Monday after writing home we
had a noche de hogar with la familia Sanchez and Richie and after we had a
carne asada. It was pretty dope because we were just outside chilling when
a mariachi just shows up at the party in front of the house. Mexico
is super awesome jajajaja.
So this past week we worked on trying to help the people
that we've been teaching progress and gain a testimony of the Gospel of Jesus
Christ. Its been going pretty great. We had a cool lesson with Osvaldo and are
trying to help him receive his personal testimony. He is a pretty great dude
and is making a bunch of changes in his life! (oh and he made us some
hamburgers, so that was cool!)
This week we also had intercambios with Muy and Melgar. I
went with Melgar to their area and we did some work! We were able to find
quite of few new people to teach and invited one of their investigadores to
baptism! It was such a fun day! We ended it by walking back home through the
market and eating some ice cream! 10/10 day!
Well nothing else super crazy has happened. Oh well, we did
have a problem with an investigadora. Her dad didn't want her to get baptized
or listen to us anymore so he took her to his house one day out of the blue, We
were super sad because she was so awesome and she loved the church! She was also
super excited to be baptized! But everything happens for a reason and we are
hoping and praying she can come back this next week!
Oh and La familia Ponce invited us over for some chili dogs
this week so that was a plus!
Well I got to go y'all!
Just want to leave this with y'all. I shared it with a
couple of you but I really love this thought that I had when I thought about
the mission and service. There's one thing I have come to see here in the
mission, how much you come to love those you serve. When you serve you are
filled with charity, or the pure love of Christ, and it is just the most
amazing feeling ever. Not focusing on yourself and just helping others. I just
love it!!! There is a scripture that says "that when ye are in the service
of your fellow beings, ye are only in the service of your God." (Book of
Mormon, Mosiah 2:17) and it is so so true! I love serving!
les amo y les extraño un buen!!!
con amor
