As for stuff that has happened this week... well let us just say that the list is interesting.
First off, Maria (You will see that name throughout the whole mission... It is so common here...)! We got a reference from an Elder in another district for an older lady named Maria. We go to talk to her and she lets us in. Right off the bat the spirit came and we were talking with her. She told us the story of her mom and how she died recently. She then told us how she feels she is causing her mother to suffer and that her mom died painfully. Well, obviously we corrected her on all of that saying her mom is not suffering, her mom is with her, and happy. She is also resting and her death was probably peaceful. We then taught the Plan of Salvation and told her how she will see her mom again there is no doubt on that. She then continues to tell us that we have given her a peace that she has not felt for a while and as we left she told us she can feel a light in her life now and she kept thanking us. It was so cool. We would have put a date with her but, 1. She had to run and 2. She is not going to be able to go to church for a good 3 weeks. But, we will keep with her, teaching her everything and next cita with her we will put a date. Helped me to realize that we need to teach to the peoples needs rather then teach lessons.
The next experience will make you laugh, cry, cringe, and probably a ton of other stuff too. Hahaha. So we were walking in between citas and a drunk guy starts yelling at us saying we always ignore him. So to proove him wrong we whent and talked to us. Then he began crying... then he started saying his life is in the gutter and he wants to change it. Yadayada. The usual drunk guy stuff. Then things get wierd. He first tells us he wants us to be his friends. So we say yes, then he hugs us. Then out of no where a giant kiss on the cheek. Let us just say I got wierded out. Hahaha. Then I think he felt wierd giving us hugs and kisses and so he gets all manly at us. And I will not tell you what he said but the next thing I know he is unbuttoning his shirt to show us his " heart" and then me and my companion started backing away. And he kept following us. And on and on. Until finally he said for us to go to his house this tuesday to talk with him more when he is not so drunk and then I ran... Hahah it was funny but I ran... I did not know what was going to come next if we had stayed... So yeah I was attacked by a drunk guy... nothing happened but I left that feeling dirty and smelling a bit like alcohol.
Next thing. We were walking to another cita. It was raining, and as I have said before the drainage here in MC is not to good. so here comes a car. The car hits the ginourmous puddle in the street next to us. The water, dirt and quien sabe que mas, came and splashed me a my companion. It did not get all of me wet but from the waste down, yes. I laughed... but was mad too... Cuz then we had to go to our next cita like that.
Well, I dont think I have told you but I am learning a bit on how to play the piano. little buy little I am. The funny thing is is that we did not have a pianist this sunday at church, and so I got elected to play... but the funny and, life saving thing, is our piano is electric and has perprogrammed hymns in it so I just had to press the play button. Haha.
Elections for the Mexican President were yesterday. So no one could come to church. Made for a lousy sunday. If I heard right Enrique Peña Nieto won and will be the new President here. No importance, really, to me but yeah... made for a lousy sunday.
Well... I can not think of anything I need as of right now. But yeah. So take care and stay awesome!
