Que honda?!!
Looks like its getting a little hotter
in Utah now that August hit. That pool in the backyard is looking more
and more appealing haha. Its crazy that hardly anyone swims here! 90% of
the people dont know how. I think thats why theyre always so nervous
for baptism haha!
It was an amazing week here
in Huauchi!! Im gonna have to look at my agenda to remember the main
things that happened haha.. On Thursday, we went to a little community
named Acatlán nearby to meet a little kid who's family are members! He
is nine years old and wants to be baptized but his mom is very inactive.
So we're going to kill two birds with one stone and teach both of them!
The little kids grandpa, who is a very active member, wanted to do the
first lesson so he had everything prepared when we got there. We ended
up watching the disney movie Coco which was absolutely perfect! After
the movie, the gpa showed the lil kid Pablo slips of paper to do
baptisms for the dead for his ancestors. He related it to how the dead
people in Coco couldnt come back to the world unless we remember them-
so we also need to remember our ancestors and do temple work for them so
that they can make it into spirit paradise! The gpa started crying
while explaining it and little pablito was so into it! The spirit was
super strong, Let's all remember our ancestors and do temple work for
them!
The other highlight of the week was
Angels baptism!!! This guy is a baller. He works in Pemex here in
Huauchi at a station that is in charge of monitoring the pressure of the
gas pipes that go all around the nation! He is literally the person who
catches the Huachicoleros which are the people who rob gas which is a
huge problem in Mexico. He was baptized on Sunday and it such a special
moment! It was right after church which was perfect because there were
like 25 members that were able to come and support. Angel is about 50
years old, and divorced, but he met a woman in our ward and theyve been
together for four years now! Theyve been living separately too which was
a miracle for us to hear, most people live in "union libre" where the
girlfriends and boyfriends just live together forever without getting
married. They have plans to get married and get sealed in the temple!!!
Ahhh Im so happy for them. All of Olga (the girlfriend)'s kids are
members. One of her sons is a returned missionary and x-bishop. He came
from puebla city to baptize angel! He will be a very strong member. He
has a lot of support and a strong testimony.
Here
comes week 7 in this transfer! Ive already been here four four and half
months so it is very likely that I leave for changes this coming week.
We'll see what happens!
I am absolutely
obsessed with the five books of Moses in the Old testament! I love so
many different scriptures from them but this is the first one that came
to mind. its from Numbers 27
And the Lord said unto Moses, Take thee aJoshua the son of bNun, a man in whom is the cspirit, and dlay thine hand upon him;
19 And aset him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.
20 And thou shalt aput some of thine bhonour upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.
As
soon as Moses was about to die, the Lord commanded him to ordain
another leader. He was literally ordained by the laying on of hands and
was presented in front and sustained by the congregation just like now
adays! Reading these books have really taught me about the similarities
of the things we do now adays in the church, and what they did back
then! Especially when talking about the temple and garments. I love you
all! Keep studying the scriptures! They are incredible,
Hasta la proxima!,
