I
am doing well. The week was good, but we
have had to drop a lot of investigators lately, but the good thing that we have
been doing a TON is CONTACTING!!! Wahoo!! It actually is fun. I really have
been able to gain a huge testimony of whta I have been called to do.
Everything
is going really well. I am happy. I hope you didn’t get too worried with the
pics, but it made me laugh because it was INSANE. There was like a kid Mason’s
age that had this huge knife and while his brother held the wings of the
chicken they would just slice his little head off!! And it is really true, that
they move a ton when they don’t have a head. You have to hold the wings because
if they break you can’t eat the meat. It goes bad and the blood goes into it i
guess..??? It is all a little crazy here1
And
the most crazy part is that they eat EVERYTHING. They don't let anything go to
waste. I ate intestine, and a ton of things. It is really cool, because they
cook it in the ground. It is amazing here!! It does to some point gross me out,
but I really do just want to enjoy everything here.
I
think that I have developed the immune system of a mexican. I love mexican food
so much. It is delicious. Even though it sometimes sounds gross, it ends up
being pretty good. You guys should look up Nopales. they are cactuses, and it
is like a staple food here. It is awesome to loose weight, but right now in
like July/August time there are fruits that are called Tunas that are soooo
good. All you got to do is take the spines off and eat it!
And
yeah the work is coming along well. I think that I am the missionary not with
the most baptisms, but definitely I am in the rankings for reactivating. I love
it. At first it was really hard for me to have patience with menosactivos, but
now, I love them so much, and to just help them realize their potential (as
well as investigators!!) is amazing. We have had several families that are now
coming to church, and we are working super super hard to find the ready to
learn people of the Lord!!
So crazy story, we had a lesson with a new investigator, who is
amazing. Her name is Alejandra. She has had a really hard couple of months. I
just want to share it with you guys.
She
has two sons, and her husband just found out that he won’t have a job. Her son was
sexually assaulted in his school about two months ago, and she has just found
out that she has thyroid cancer. She has SO much faith in the Lord. I know that
she is going to progress. We found her contacting in the street and she looked
sad so I decided to talk to her. It is amazing how He puts people in out paths!!
It
truly is amazing, what people suffer through. We are so blessed, but more than
anything, we have faith, which is really such a propeller in our lives!!!
Guess
what?? Like the whole mission, I have ben worried for not baptizing a ton, but
I heard some really cool news last week, THAT INVESTIGATORS THAT I TAUGHT AND
FOUND WITH H CHAVEZ AND H SANTACRUz GOT BAPTIZED!! That is what it’s all about,
family! Putting in the effort and planting the seed.
