How goes it my gringos?? This week was quite a strange week.
First off this week starts the canícula, the hottest part of the year here
in Monterrey because it's when the sun is the closest to the earth. It starts
in the middle of July and ends at the end of August, so this will be fun. My
compañero even starts singing "here comes the sun, du du du duh"
whenever we walk for a long time because it is hecka hot.
This week was also very very strange because we haven't been
in our area that much. On Tuesday we had a full day of work so that was great.
On Wednesday we had to go to the offices of the west mission and lets just say
that it was pretty interesting trying to get over there. We had to take like 3
buses and it took like 2 and a half hours but we got there jajaja. It was
really cool cause we got to see the center of Monterrey and got to meet some
awesome missionaries from the west mission. On Thursday we had our district
meeting and we have a new guy in our district, Elder Duke from Hawaii. He just
got here from the CCM and he is super awesome! He doesn't speak much spanish
but he is so ready to work!! Love his attitude!! (also plays pro rugby so watch
out). Then on Friday we had our Zone Conference. We had it with the Apodaca and
Moderna Zones. It was cool to see some of the old homies from my first months
of the mission. Also I met Elder Norman. He is a dope dude that is from Morgan,
Utah! That's where my dad's family is from! So that was awesome!
On Saturday we had a full day of work. We had to make up for
the lost time and so we did literally all we could this day to have success. It
was probably one of the most tiring days but one of the most successful. I love
the work and we are seeing so many milagros here each day. For example we were
walking home one day and this dude just pulls up next to us and says that we
need to go visit his family real quick to share a message and to say a prayer
because they're members and are about to leave for Texas. We hurried over to
their house and met one of the most awesomest families ever. It also turns out
that this guy that stopped us isn't a member but wants to be baptized! Such an
amazing experience!!
One thing that I really focused on this week was something
simple but very important: prayer. When we pray we are literally talking to our
Heavenly Father and He hears and answers us! We always need to pray though, and
when we pray we must have faith! In the Book of Mormon in 3 Nephi 18: 19-20
says "19 Therefore ye must always pray unto the Father in my name;
20 And whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, which
is right, believing that ye shall receive, behold it shall be given unto
you."
So yeah like I said in the title, Pray Hard!
well thats all for the week
