Hey everyone!!! This week actually flew by like non other!! Everything was going crazy fast and then Sunday came around and it was just like a dead stop.. We didn't get that many people to church this week and we didn't have many citas with people so we just walked around and talked to people for 4 1/2 hours before we had to go home for the night. So that was kind of fun! My legs better be getting huge because we are always walking. We got to have a baptismal service this last weekend! My first one so that was kind of a cool experience for me! I love seeing the change in peoples lives when they choose to follow Jesus Christ. We are always working really really hard but people just don't come to church??? Quite a different life style here in Mexico than in the United States.
I don't really have a crazy story of the week because it went by so quick.. Just kidding. We always try and teach everyone we can but for some reason people really really like to get drunk here. They just go and exchange their huge bottles of beer for a new one at the tienda on the corner of like every street. So we kinda avoid people that have alcohol in their hands but it is usually when people are drunk that they actually want to talk to us. So kind of a weird thing.. I don't really understand... but on a better note! We stop by someone who sells tamales and he is pretty cool! We go and buy candy and ask him to put the candy in a tamale. So this week I got Caramel M&M's and I would say it was one of the best tamales I have ever had! They sure do know how to Americanize Mexican food! hahaha!
But I just want to say that I know that there is a Prophet and there are Apostles on the earth today. They do receive revelation from our Heavenly Father and his Son Jesus Christ. Because of Joseph Smith so many people are able to come unto Christ in a way that brightens and uplifts their lives. They couldn't receive this light any other way. I am so grateful for the Book of Mormon and for the scriptures we have to study. I would encourage all of you to read for only 10 minutes every single day from the Book of Mormon. Read in 3rd Nephi if you always just start from the beginning. I love you guys so much and look forward to hear from all of you again in 1 week!!!
Love,
