This last week was good...
Well all the weeks are good really.
I
completed 5 months in the mission this past week! Hna. Vallencia made me a cake
and we had like a little party ha. Hna. Vallencia went to the temple this last
week so now she is officially an active member and no longer a less active
member. Wow its crazy because 4 months ago she was a non-active member of 14
years and now she has a calling in the church, Michelle (her daughter) goes to
seminary, Victor (her son) is preparing to receive the priesthood. I really am
so happy for her and her family. They are one of my favorite people here. Gosh
the church is sooo cool.
This
week for the mission activity we taught the members how to contact their
friends and talk to them about the church in a non-threatening way. After we
got a ton of referrals so that was sick. Then we played a game where you and
your partner are both blindfolded and you have to feed your partner frosting.
It was a total mess but tons of fun. I had frosting head to toe after the
activity and tons in my hair.
This
week we taught one of our investigators Sandra who has a baptism date. We
needed to change her date because she didn’t come to church the last week. She
got really sad when we told her this and started to cry. After she told us that
the day she committed to being baptized her husband told her that he has been
cheating on her for 3 months now. In the lesson we had a member named Gris with
us. She ended up sharing her testimony and telling Sandra that a similar
situation happened with her mother. She told us that when her mother committed
to being baptized her father left her and her whole family and how her mom has
been an amazing example to her throughout her whole life and how the gospel has
blessed her immensely. It was really a bittersweet lesson. This week Sandra came
to church and really liked it. The messages really helped her. I really want to
help her the most that I can. I don’t know if I will get to see her baptism or
not because cambios-transfers are next week and so I wont know if I’m leaving
or staying until Saturday. Wow the time just keeps going faster and
faster.
We
also had a fireside with President Christensen this week. We brought Omar and
Patricia. They both really liked it. There was a great turn out between all the
missionaries and their investigators. President asked me to lead the hymns. Ha
like out of all the people there who know how to lead hymns he picks the only
sister missionary in the world who doesn’t have a darn clue how to lead hymns.
Well what can I do? I just fake it, ha. Well by the time I get home let’s hope
that I will know how to lead.
Crisis
of my life... well crisis of the week we haven’t had water in the shower for
around a week now... you know what that means. BUCKET SHOWERS. Yep that’s right
cold bucket showers. Ha, I’ve heard about the "Ice Bucket Challenge"
that the celebrities have been doing to raise money… well my shower every day
is an "Ice Bucket Challenge Shower". We are hoping for water this
next week but honestly what can you do? Its part of the experience,
right???
Well
love you all more then all the dirty dogs here in Mexico.
