¡Hola!

 

Everything is going good down here.

 

My new DL Elder Villagómez say Hi. Elder Hawkes got transferred to zone leader this last transfer.

 

This week we had a zone conference on Wednesday. We talked a lot about working with the members and how to get them involved in sharing the Gospel and helping us with investigators. If we can get them involved more things will be easier in teaching and keeping investigators.

 

This week was the independence of Mexico the 15th. We had to be in the house at 6pm so that we were not in the street in the party. We were in the house and get some pizzas and had a party Elder Medina and I. There are pics of that. We could not leave the house until 2pm the next day because of all the party in the street from the night before until 8am the next morning. The fireworks aren't the same but it's the same felling, while with out the family.

 

While the first pair of my shoes is getting ready to die. they are thin in the ball and the heal is smaller. it's only been 5 months in the field working but that shows the work.

 

This week i got to experience more of the Mexican culture. The member that we rent from her husband has been in the hospital for 2 months and was brought home this week on Tuesday. He had problems with his heart. Thursday in the night the hermana asked if we would come and give him a blessing. I had the opportunity to give it to him. When we came home form working on Friday we were told by the other renters of the house that he passed away. We got to help clean and get ready for the viewing that was in the house from Saturday at 2 or 3am to Sunday at 11am. Everything was done in the house and was really different from home. This was a different experience for me. because when I was giving the blessing this is what i felt. But i know that we have the plan of salvation and it covers all parts of life.

 

The end of the week ended up good. we had a baptism of one of the daughter-in-laws of a member. Elder Medina did this one. Of the 14 that we have I have done 9. We found out that day of the baptism that she is pregnant so it was a 2x1 baptism. haha. The service was good.

 

Thanks for all the support.
