Started off as a normal week. We left the cyber and were
heading to a teaching appointment when all of the sudden President calls and
tells me that I have special cambios. He then goes on to tell me that I needed
to pack all of my bags and head to Monterrey early Tuesday morning and that I
will be working in Contry with Elder Diaz again but this time as the APs...so
yeah that was super super loco. I did not see that coming at all...like at all
at all. This will be my third time serving with Elder Diaz. He is
awesome! I am currently in the center of Monterrey which is so different
than Nuevo Laredo. I am surrounded by rich people and huge buildings which is a
complete 180 from my last area but it doesn't matter where I am because I am
still gonna work.
It was sad leaving all of the great people that we found up
there in Nuevo Laredo but I am starting to meet some awesome friends here. To
start off this week we found an awesome young couple that have a little boy.
They had just been in a car accident a month ago and they were lucky to come
out alive. Elena (the wife) knew that God saved her for a reason and she
started to go to a bunch of different churches with Roberto, her husband, who
had little or no faith in God. We went for the first time on Tuesday and we had
a good lesson. Elena was super interesada but Roberto still said he was just
listening to support his wife. After the lesson however he told us that he felt
something very different from the other churches and he felt a lot of peace and
warmth. The next time we went we talked a little about the Book of Mormon and
then invited them to baptism and they both said yes! Roberto said he gained a
testimony that God lives and loves him and said the most beautiful and
heartfelt prayer ever. Everyone started to shed a few tears. The Spirit
was so so strong!
We have some other dope people that we are teaching and that
we hope will keep progressing as well! It's a lot different to work in the
city. Oh and we have to climb a mountain to get to parts of our area so that's
fun and a workout. We also have some of the nicest plazas in all of
Monterrey in our area. It's so cool. I honestly feel like I'm in Dallas at
times jajajaja.
As asistentes we have to do divisiones with all of the Zone
Leaders so on Wednesday Elder Bringas and Elder Valencia came to our area and I
got to go with Valencia without even knowing the area at all....yeah so it's
been great learning the area on the fly.
This next week is gonna be good because we get to go
to the airport for the new missionaries arriving and to send the old people
home. (I'll have pday on Mondays but today is diff because of the cambios on
Monday)
Well that's all I got!
les amo y les extraño
con amor
