This week was super crazy.....and when I say crazy I mean
crazy! like so many weird things happened and I don't know where to start!
- On Tuesday 3 huge trucks full of armed narcos pulled up
next to us because they thought we were from the DEA. so that was pretty dope.
They even pulled out their M16 to show us but I cracked a few jokes with them
and they ended up driving away laughing.
- Also this week was going to be the baptism of Yamilet,
but....she left for Veracruz on Wednesday. It has been pretty ugly in the
nights here (gunshots and what not) and her son bought bus tickets for them and
they all left for Veracruz. So that was pretty sad but hopefully she will be
able to get baptized in Veracruz.
-We also had two other things happen with the narcos this
week. On Saturday they 'borrowed' our bikes to go drop something off in a
different colony and then came back to drop the bikes off...so that was weird.
Also last night we were waiting by a bridge and we saw a huge Toyota Tundra
with some narcos in it fly by and then we just heard gun shots when they got to
the other side of the bridge and we just took off flying on our bikes jajaja.
So yeah its been pretty wild here!
-Although we were sad for Yamilet we were able to keep
working with others and find some really awesome new investigators! Raquel is
progressing really well and even went to church by herself which amazed
us. We also found a new couple named Karen and Francisco. They are super
awesome and they also went to church this week! It was cool because Karen and
Raquel were talking about the class and the talks in church and they were
basically sharing their testimonies that this is the true Gospel and Church of
Jesus Christ! They are all really great and are progressing really well. I love
their faith.
-Also we are teaching these kids that love the church and this past week they came on last Sunday, then an actividad on Thursday and another actividad on Saturday and then to church again this Sunday! They love the church and are super awesome!

- So there was a great family we had been working with but
they had to leave for a few weeks because of some threats from the bad people
here. They finally came back and showed up to the church on Sunday. It was such
a surprise! We still can't visit them in their house because its a little
dangerous but we are teaching them in the church and they are really excited
for their baptism in a couple of weeks!!
We are honestly seeing so many miracles here in Nuevo Laredo
and it is a testimony to me that this is truly the Lord's work. That we are His
servants and that we must do all we can to help as many people we can here come
unto Christ and He will help us along the way!
well i got to go
les amo y les extraño
