Hola Familia!!
Like the title says, it was kinda a crazy week. We covered
everything from losing my wallet(credit cards, and a bunch of cash) to getting
a new comp, to almost sending a golden investigator to Peru. But best of all,
M. is getting baptized this week!!!!!! this Saturday! We are really excited
and so is she. She even paid her tithing yesterday!! She really seems so happy
and happy to have this change in her life. She already signed up on our lunch
schedule as well, she is just a member! hah
My new comps name is Elder Cadena (Chain). He is from Guadalajara
Mexico. He only has 7 months in the mission. He is really cool, he likes sports
too and is probably the cleanest comp I have had which is awesome!! We get
along well and we are already seeing some good thing happening in our
area.
So like I said above, last Monday right after I finished
emailing, We went to this little shop to put money on my bus card and while we
were there I think I forgot my wallet. When we went back 10 minutes
later(sprinting) it was not there. We talked with the owner and he says he
never saw it... but that is kinda a bummer... I lost 1000 pesos(150 dollars)
and my 2 credit cards.
This week I had a testimony builder about studies on the
mission. We had a couple of crazy days on Monday and Tuesday and we were not able to
study and I really just didn't feel good. I stared studying a lot more and I
literally just felt the spirit a lot more during the day. I have also started studying more church books, it is really interesting to learn about the Gospel.
Elder Aguilar gave me a bunch of books on my pendrive so I have started reading
a little more.
We have still been doing a lot of FHEs and its been really
good!! I really enjoy it because we have been trying to team more members up
with less actives and investigators. We are seeing a lot of progress with it!
Last night we had a lesson with D and R, they are
so awesome! I honestly have developed a love for them really fast. I have a lot
of faith that they will get married and baptized, they have been visited by
missionaries for like 2 years now, but I feel like they are close!!
Well its been a great week, the mission is gearing up to
have 500 baptisms in the next 2.5 months!! We are gonna be working hard!! love
you guys!!
