Buenas tardes familia y amigos!!
Fall is
offically here!! Ya'll better enjoy the beautiful Utah fall. I say Fall
is my favorite season but then once winter comes, I say winters my
favorite season.. and so forth haha. Thats the beauty of Utah though,
there are actually four distinct seasons! Here thats definitely not the
case haha.
Things a going great here in
Tizayuca! We have so many great people in teaching. Of course most of
them have very strong challenges like smoking or marriage but we
honestly have high hopes for this new transfer!
Recently
we got two of our investigators engaged! It was such a fun experience!
He had everything ready and planned, and the three kids helped us out
too. He put the ring inside of an avocado, her favorite fruit, and she
loved it!! She said yes haha. One step closer to the baptism.
We
had transfers this weekend and....... I have a new companion!! Im
honestly super happy about it too! His name is Elder Cordeiro (lamb in
portuegese) he's from Brazil!! He is honestly an amazing Elder. Ive
never been in the same zone as him but Ive heard great things about him
and with the 8 hours we have together so far, Im super excited! He's
super humble, ready to work, and the most loving person! I know Im going
to be able to work really well with him. He just got called as a zone
leader so I will be teaching him the responsibilities. SO stoked! Elder
Castro is headed to open up the area Mixquiahuala (my birthplace in the
mish) with Elder Faussett who was my comp in the ccm.
I
gave a talk this week in sacrament meeting which I think went well! I
focused on what we need to do as members to help in missionary work. All
of it starts with our own personal conversion. I love a quote from
President Hunter that goes, paraphrasing, like this "the greatest
indicator of one's personal conversion is their desire to share the
gospel with others" I LOVE THAT: If we dont have a desire to share this
knowledge with everyone, we really need to work on strengthening our
testimonies. Everyone knows someone who isnt member, so share the
message with them! Love you all!!
