Buenas tardes a todos!
It was a good
week in Huauchi! Time has been flying! I usually have to look at my
agenda on mondays while writing so I can remember everything that
happened!
On wednesday we did exchanges with
the Elders in Xicotepec! I stayed here with elder peters from davis. He
was on the davis cross country team which is one of the best in the
entire nation so we definitely went running on thursday morning together
haha. He's a cool guy! He finishes his mission in three weeks and then
he'll be running for UVU! Most of the appointments fell on Wednesday
(that seems to always happen during exchanges) but we were still able to
meet some good new people and have a good day!
On
Saturday we were able to go to the temple!! The stake presidency
provides us a combi (big van) with 19 seats to take investigators to the
temple and visitors center every month! For us its kind of hard because
its basically like organizing a cruise because of all the planning.
There are always a lot of people who cancel at the last second, or dont
show up on saturday morning so its definitely a challenge to fill all 19
seats. Unfortunately most of the missionaries in the zone werent able
to find even one person to go to the temple so my comp and I had to make
of the difference. We brougth five people, the huauchi hermanas brought
4 and the hermanas from lucerna brought 2! So at least we were able to
bring 11 investigadors and some recent convert! Its was a super
successful trip! We watched the restoration movie on the way there and
then bible videos and mormon messages on the way back! I really
recommend the new "one on one" video that came out just barely. Our
investigadors loved the temple, one of them from Lucerna decided to get
baptized because of the trip! The temple works miracles even when the
people cant enter.
Justino and his younger bro
came with us which was a risk because his baby can be born in any
second! We need it to happen soon so that they can get married and
baptized in the next 3 weeks! We have the faith that he'll be able to
though. He's come to church almost every sunday since I met him 4 months
ago. what a guy.
Angel also is progressing really well and
came to the temple with us. He's on date for august 3rd! I could be
leaving here in three weeks so we're trying to work as hard as possible,
the Lord has been blessing us for our efforts. We've been getting home
at about 10 every night!
I started the old
testament last week and now Im in the middle of Exodus. I am amazed by
these incredible stories in these books. Genesis covers thousands of
years of history with the most amazing events in the world. I love how
Exodus portrays the lords mercy and how he will always bring us out of
captivity. We are part of the house of Irael which means we can receive
the same blessings as Israel, Isaac, and Abraham if we hold on and rely
on the Lord! I love you all, have a great week!
