Pretty good
week here in Pachuca! I wouldnt be surprised if this has made
international news and that you guys already know but basically all of
Mexico is out of gasoline right now. It is complete chaos, there are
lines of 200 cars to get gas, even at like three in the morning people
have to wait hours to just get a few gallons of gas. People are in panic
because they cant even make it to work now. What happened is that the
owner of Pemex which is like the monopoly gas company of Mexico was
stealing a bunch of the gas with the help of the government haha. But
they ended up getting caught and now basically everything is shut down
and there is no gas in mexico. There are only a few pumps going. Some
people in Ojo de Agua got shot and killed by cutting in line to get gas
faster. So that has been the latest news here in Mexico haha. This could
only happen here. There are so many people who are trained to steal gas
and most of them are from the Pemex company haha but I hope it clears
up soon because people are having a hard time making it to church too.
Not
too much to report this week, but we did have some changes!!
Drumroll..... Im staying here in Pachuca with Elder Cassat!! He was my
zone leader when I was in Ojo de Agua and now he's here to be zone
leader with me! He's from Oregon but goes to BYU and already completed a
year there. He's super dope and Im excited to work with him! Our zone
had a lot of changes so Im excited to see if that helps. Its a brand new
cycle of 6 weeks and Im excited to find new people and progress with
our investigators!
One of the
themes you read a lot about in the Book of Mormon is how quick people
forget about the gospel or even Jesus Christ himself. Alma 46:8 says
"Thus we see how quickly the children of men do forget the Lord their
God, yea, how quick to do iniquity, and to be led away by the evil one."
and there are a lot of similar scriptures to that. During my mission
Ive realized how true this scripture is. I'll have my doubts and
questions completely forgetting about all the amazing testimony builders
Ive been blessed to have. It makes me think of the quote "Doubt your
doubts before you doubt your faith". We truly all have enough signs to
know the church is true. It definitely isnt a bad thing to search for
more signs but sometimes we're just quick to forget. Its super important
during hard times to remember how you've seen the Lords hand in your
life. I hope we can all remember him a little bit better from now on and
search in the scriptures to learn more about him.
Hasta la proxima!
