mi cumpleaños en mexico!! (Semana 56)

Que tal mis amigos!!! Hows everyone doing?!?! I am doing pretty great here and still loving life here in Meixco!! 
Well this week was a pretty solid week of work, rain, birthdays, and conferences! 
Ok to start things off this week we have been working pretty well with the people we have right now. Jorge is doing really well and is progressing super fast! He told us that he had prayed and recieved an answer that the Church is true and that he needs to be baptized! The only problem is that he still doesnt have permision from his mom. We are still working with him on that and hopefully he can be baptized soon! We were also able to teach Sister Dolores Lucero and her family and one of their friends. It was a super cool lesson and they all came to church yesterday!! It was super cool because it was a whole bench filled with just them! 
I had my second birthday here in the mision!! Woohoo!! I have 20 years!!! Super crazy!! We celebrated it with a piñata (thanks mom!), a cake with the familia Amador (coolest fam here in Nuevo Laredo), some tamales from the hermana Pillado, and a Pizza Party and Oreo Cake with the familia Godina (the other coolest fam here in Nuevo Laredo)!! so yeah all in all super dope birthday!!! (And muchas thank yous for all the birthday wishes!!)
This week was also our Zone Conference and it was actually pretty good and i learned some new stuff! We talked a little about the Doctrine of Christ and focused on repentence. We talked about why its important to repent and how repentence is a really important gift from God that we don't take advantage of. Repentence doesn't always mean that you did something super bad, but rather a change from something that maybe not is so good so that you can become more Christ-like, which is really our goal here in life, to become more like Christ!
so thats basically all that went down this week on this side of the border! Hoping that all yall have a great week!!! Siga echandole ganas!!

les amo y les extraño!!!
con amor
