We are in February now!! Thats crazy.. I hope everyone had a great week!
It was a pretty chill week here! Monday and Tuesday were the craziest, and then the rest was pretty low key.
On Monday, we had 19 new missionaries come in! It was so fun to see all of them arrive! There were like 16 Mexicans and then 2 Americans, and 1 from New Zealand. We took them all to the clock to contact and take pictures! And then we went to President's house to have lunch with the trainers and trainees! Then we took them to the chapel and the offices to do the trainings and the interviews! That was a lot of interviews, but they all got home by 9pm ish! I love being with all of the nuevos, they have so much animo!
On Tuesday, we went to the airport in CDMX again to pick up a missionary who came from the New Mexico Farmington mission while he was waiting for his visa! His name is Elder Morales and he's super cool! His trainer elder Rowley came with us too. We got there at 1 o'clock because his flight came in at 1:30. We saw all of the brand new missionaries coming in and when we saw his flight, all of the missionaries were there except for him! We seem to always have issues at the airport haha. We saw 220 missionaries come through the airport that day to go to the CCM and they all thought that we were the ones there to guide them haha. At first we were super confused at why he wasnt in that flight, we were looking around everywhere and we followed the guy from the CCM because he was making some calls. Long story short, I know basically the entire airport at CDMX by now haha now Im not worried for my flight back home, I know exactly where to go and what to do. We called the church transport people who had just barely found out that his connection flight was canceled so he ended up flying in from Dallas a little later. While we were looking around for him, we saw a flight come in from China and everyone had their mouths covered. We definitely took a short detour just in case.... haha. We were in the airport for a total of 7 hours that day. We finally found him and got outta there! He was super happy to finally make it to Mexico, he woke up at 2 am that day! We went to presidents house that night to have dinner with the missionaries going home (two of which were latina hermanas from my generation) and then we had the testimony meeting at like 11:30 for everyone going home.
There have been a few Elders staying with us recently because some things went down and most of them will probably go home. Then yesterday, another Elder came over to our house who is also going home. It's kind of annoying to have them all there for so long because it makes everything a lot more complicated. Mainly the shower in the mornings, and the whole food situation haha but hopefully everything if figured out soon.
This week we were able to visit the zone leaders in Tizayuca, Pachuca Centro, Pachuca Sur, Pachuca Mexico, and Valle Del Mezquital. They're all doing great and it was fun to talk to all of them. We had straight up interviews with them. I felt like the mission president haha. We were able to talk about a lot of things we want to fix during the leadership council this coming week! Im grateful for our good zone leaders. The missions on a good track!
Im finishing up Jesus the Christ right now and I just loved reading about the restoration of Christ's church. It's something Ive taught so much about but reading Joseph Smith's account is just something so special. In preparation for the conference, we all need to ponder more on that occurrence and make sure we truly have a testimony of it!
Les amo un buen!
