Westside!!! (Semana 44)

my dude Schenck!
Well I am officially part of the Mexico Monterrey West Mission. Its crazy to think that I will have half my mission in the East side and the other half on the West side. Lets see what all I can do here!
So this past week has been a pretty good week of straight work. Its pretty funny right now because I have 2 lines that show that we have been out working according to my companion Elder Alfaro. I have a super super bad watch tan line and I also have a weird line on my shirts at the end of the day from my bag. So yeah we have been out here grinding in the heat. Oh yeah it is also getting pretty hot here in Monterrey, especially when there is no such thing as Air Conditioning here, like it just doesn’t exist here. At night it feels like I am sleeping in a brick oven.
Ok back to the point, so this week we were able to go out to work, and since we are basically starting over again in the area we did a bunch of contacting. Like almost the entire week contacting. We did find some interesting nice people and some other not so nice people but hey its all good. We also went on some visits with Hermano Sanchez and Brenda to visit some of the less active members in the ward and to share a quick message. We also ate some super rico hot dogs with them! Such an awesome family. This week we also worked with this one dude named Miguel. He is a friend of a member in the ward and he really likes the church, he even came this week dressed up in a white shirt and tie.
This past week was also pretty cool to see how the Holy Ghost works. So one of our investigadores has been out of town and dealing with the death of a loved one and we haven’t been able to contact her for awhile. So yesterday we were eating with a family and the hermana told us that she had a feeling this past week to send a message to Perla, something brief just to say that she was thinking about here. Well Perla then said that it made her day and that she wants the sisters from the church to visit her and talk with her and just help her through this moment. It was so awesome to see the Holy Ghost work in the lives of others! 
well just wanna end this letter with a really good scripture that I was thinking about this week. Its Ether 12:27 "And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them."
sometimes it might seem as tho we have a bunch of weaknessess in our life that it might seem to hard to handle but I know that if you turn to the Lord for help he will make those weak things into strenghts. I have seen it so many times in my own life and it the life of other, especially here in the mission!

well i got to go back out to serve
les extraño y les amo!!!
