Gerald and Hector

What's up everyone! 

Hope you all had an amazing week! It was a pretty normal week here in the beautiful town of Balancán. We had a lot of lessons and found some people to teach so that is always fun. We did divisions this week and I went with Elder Bencomo to an area called Zapata and it was fun. The highlight was catching the baby iguanas and keeping them with us for the day. 

Let's start with the iguanas. Gerald and Hector were the best pets ever. We caught them and they were crazy at first but then they started to like us and would just sit on our shoulders as we did work haha it was a good time. During video calls we would put them on the wall behind us and it was an all around great time. The only bad thing about it is that Elder Bencomo tried to grab one by the tail and then it fell off. Elder Bencomo is a good dude. He is from Chihuahua but speaks perfect English because his mom is from Utah and doesn't speak Spanish. During divisions I also got to translate for some lady who wanted to make a phone call to the US and that was an interesting experience. 

Out here in Balancán I am just living my best life. We are still doing lots of work with inactive members trying to help them out and find new people to teach through them. It is still a little tough with all of the covid restrictions so all of you reading this in the US, be grateful that you can walk outside without a mask because here people are still driving in their cars with them. I don't understand why they do that but it's what they think is safe haha. 

This week at church during our Sunday school lesson the question was ¨What has the Savior done for me?¨ I think that is a great question to ponder because everything we have is thanks to Him. I made a list of all of the things that he has done for me and the list kept going on and on. As I continue to study the scriptures and learn more about Him I think about how lucky I am to be in the situation I am. 

Love you all!
