This week has had its awesome moments, its cruddy moments, and I have discovered the secret to quesadilla madness!
The teacher lady did not get baptized this week... because she did not go to church,,, So we have to wait... We are talking to her tomorrow so yeah! :D We will see what will happen.
Usually about half end up going to the temple, if all the family is baptized. Like next year one of the families that I baptized will most likely be going. And actually this Saturday I was invited to go to one of Elder Barben´s converts endowement session. So this saturday will be the first time I will be going to the Mexico City Temple. So excited. Even more excited because it is going to be in spanish! I will take pictures. Also, speaking of seallings. My ward mission leader and his wife went to the temple this week to get sealed. We saw them after and they kept telling us that they wanted to go back again and again and again... so funny and so cool!
With the lady and the mental desease... not sure what is going to happen... We will see if we get a phone call one of these days.
The 8 year old´s dad is not a member and he told her she can´t... so mean... so we did not have that baptizm... talking to them on tuesday as well so I will inform you ASAP.
With it being busy, I want to busy. But I want to see the fruits of that busyness. And I haven´t. Until this week... more on that a little later.
DL stuff! It is good. I got everything down. It is not to difficult actually. I think the hardest things is the lecture I have to give every monday to motivate them to work and teach and what not. Cuz obviously you cant use the same thing over and over again. It is all good though, I got it. Preach My Gospel works wonders with that. My companion follows me in whatever dutyies I have. So sometimes he gets upset because he does not want too... but yeah... We are doing good Mom, he just gets upset real easily. I have it worked out though so no worries.
Ok. Now time for the list of stuff that has gone down up in here in the Ciudad de México.
First off we found out in a mission meeting we had this last week that Elder Oaks will be coming to our mission in Agaust! So excited for that!
So on Wednesday the bishop told us that he has a reference for us. We went to the reference and it is an inactive family... and I was a bit upset because I thought he ment for it to be an investigator, but he wanted us to try to reactivate them... Well it gets better. We get in and the boyfriend of one the daughters is there and appparently he has quite a bit of interest in our church. We teach him and all of the inactive family lesson 1 and then, using the 6 steps, we set the boyfriend on date. The next day we take him to a baptizm of another Elder and then on Sunday we take him to church. He loves it all! And Sunday after the church he asks us when he is getting baptized! Talk about blessings from the big guy. I will be honest. I nearly cried when he said that. SO awesome! So yeah Wednesday is set for his baptizm. So excited!
This week we had interviews with president, and in mine he pretty much told me that I am staying the same for changes, which are this next week. More info on that this next week. Also in this change we are loosing 23 missionaries and only getting 3. So Presidnet told us that he will be closing alot of areas throughout the mission to compensate. Gonna be interesting. Pictures attached are of a few missionaries in that generation that are going to home. Elder Cook and Elder Pope. Yeah. Pope. We tease alot as you can imagine. More info on changes though, this next week.
It was soooo funny. We were walking to a cita and my companion calls out to me and points to a tree. I am like"What?" And he points towards the trunk of the tree. Guess what was there! A Marijuana plant! Hahaha so funny..... Yet so sad. People here do not really care. They grow there plants wherever they want... haha.
So we were going to that cita with the reference from the bishop and this older lady stops us and tells us that she basically wants us to teach her and her friend. So we go to her house the next day... so sad. Her house is quite literally a dump. Walls made of wood pallets and parts of trees, roof made of sheet metal, no water, electricity, stove, nothing. Just a few beds inside. Really humbling. So anyways we go to talk with them, teach them the restoration and set them both on date for baptizm this next friday. They go to church, love it. and Are all set. So cool! And so prepared. So at lease we will have 3 baptizms this week! So exciting!
