So, Thursday we did divisions with the Elders in Indeco. I was with Elder Ortiz in our area and Hunter went to Villahermosa to be with Cicerone. I was actually really excited for this day because I wanted to see where my Spanish was at. Elder Ortiz is one of the funniest dudes ever! He kept telling stories about the drunk guys in the mission and it was awesome! We tried to find new people to teach but it was a struggle. On the bright side, I totally was speaking Spanish and it was dope. Later that night we had an appointment with Maria Esther and we taught the commandments. When we got to the Word of Wisdom she was a little confused on why we can't drink coffee. I promised her that if she went a week without coffee she will receive many blessings. Because she always gives us Gatorade when we go over, I told her to replace the coffee with that! She made the deal that she would stop and then come to church this upcoming Sunday the 23rd because she couldn't come yesterday. This lady loves me so much and we are always cracking jokes! I also love teaching her because I actually understand her Spanish haha.
Valentines Day was a special day. Hunter had the idea to wear matching ties, which I hated, but he said it was for "unity". We were walking to an appointment and it started pouring rain, like it was the heaviest rain I have ever seen. We showed up to the appointment and the girl we were teaching wasn't there. Afterwards we stopped by a members house to get some references and she only gave us one, but that is better than zero! She is also one of those people that wants me to speak perfect Spanish so we are always talking and she makes me teach her the lessons which is dope. Afterwards, we got home and made a Spaghetti dinner with Mountain Dew and candles. Holy cow it was awesome. I sang all of the LANY songs to Hunter and said that was "unity". He eventually told me to shut up and we read the Book of Mormon haha.
I have been reading the book "Saints" and I am loving it. I love how cool those stories are of the first members of the church. Hunter and I had a good conversation and put ourselves in the shoes of the people during that time. It would be tough to see a 14 year old boy trying to tell you he saw Jesus Christ and God and that he needs to restore his church. The act of faith that the saints have is incredible! It is also cool to see that Joseph Smith wasn't some perfect guy, he sinned too. The atonement is even for the Prophet and I love that. The love that Jesus has for us is incredible and I am so grateful for that!
Love you all! Stay sweet!
