VIVA MEXICO!

Feliz 16 de septiembre a todos!! My whole life, I thought Mexico's independence was the 15th but apparently its the 16th, just that most people celebrate it on the 15th in the night.

This week was super good! On Thursday our zone had interviews with President Maldonado. It went great! He gave really good advice and thoughts. I think everyone left the interviews feeling a lot better than when entering.

On Friday we had the Noche Mexicana at the stake center for all the stake of Tizayuca! It was a super fun activity, every relief society of every ward prepared a traditional dance from different parts of Mexico. It definitely reminded me of Spanish Immersion at Cherry Hill Elementary haha. I love this culture so much!! We had some great tacos, tostadas, pozole, tamales, and other foods after the dances. Everyone was dressed up and the investigators really liked the activity!

It was a relatively harder week for our investigators. They had a lot of challenges and most werent able to come to church. We're still in process of getting them married but right now we're looking for more people who can progress faster. Changes are already next week so we'll see what happens! 

I've been reading Isaiah and Im just amazed about how much it talks about the restoration. There's a reason Christ said "great are the words of Isaiah". The prophesies are on point and his words are so beautifully organized. Its really interesting to see the differences between Isaiah and the passages of 2nd Nephi who have the words of Isaiah. There is a chapter of 2nd Nephi that has a phrase that includes the record in the Greek and Hebrew old testament which shows how the brass plates were more complete than the translations that have been done of the bible in these days. I hope we can all read and comprehend Isaiah's words to help us understand what has happened and what will happen in these last days!
