What is up everyone!
It was a fun week out here in Mexico with some cool things. We put a couple people on date, found some cool people to teach, and we went to the temple! It is true that we had 54 baptisms but they were all in the temple but it's still pretty awesome.
So let's start with the temple. We went on Saturday with a recent convert named Hilsy. She was baptized a couple of months ago and she is pretty solid. She has been wanting to go to the temple for a while and now it is finally in phase 2B down here so we were able to go with her and do some baptisms. The temple is the best and I love it so much.
The people we put on date this week are pretty sweet. They are a couple who live together, Karen and Jonás. Jonás has a boy named Eduardo who was baptized a couple of months ago and we are planning on having him baptize Karen and Jonás. We still need to help them get married so pray that everything will go smoothly. The best part is when we asked Jonás to get baptized, he said ¨yeah, what time were you thinking?¨ We thought he was for sure gonna be hesitant but he accepted it because he wants the gift of the Holy Ghost.
We had a lot of other lessons and found some new people. I am getting really excited to work in this area these last couple of months. President told me I won't be leaving the area so I am super pumped to keep working. I am hoping this area will be loaded with work by the time I get home.
Just to wrap up on a spiritual note. This week I studied about angels. I read the talk "I Believe in Angels" by Carlos A. Gadoy and I loved how he talks about angels being on this side of the veil. A member I met in Arizona told my companion and I that we should introduce ourselves as angels. Usually I would think that is a little weird but this man was a mission president so I trust him. This week I did that. We were talking with Karen and she mentioned how she wants to follow God and she wants to know what is right but she didn't think she had the answer. That's when I remembered the advice from the member so I told her that my companion and I were angels sent to her at this time. I explained how we read in the scriptures so much about angels and how they speak the words of Christ. She was like ¨oh shoot maybe you´re right¨ (not a direct translation haha). Anyway, the moral of the story is angels are real and the church is true.
Love you all!
