Last P day we were making a oreo cheese cake with Elder Walgamott and Elder Gomez. It took several hours to travel on public transport, buy all the ingredients, and then travel all the way back to bake. After we baked our cake we wanted to put blueberry pie filling on top, but we did not have a can opener. So being "smart" missionaries we decided to break open the can with a razor blade and our keys. We ended up with a can filled with holes and broken razor blades in the filling. We had to search for a few hours to find all the razor blades, but it was worth it. The cheese cake tasted so good!! Maybe its because I have not had cake for a while.
We had the opportunity in the past week to watch a nation wide conference for México. President Nelson and Elder Hales spoke to us about the fundamentals and the commandments. They focused on paying tithing and going to the temple to be sealed to your family for eternity. It was super powerful hopefully we can use this conference to help some of the less active members to reactivate.
This week we have been working hard to teach the investigators we have. The investigator that has been progressing the most is Georgina, who is the wife of a less active member. We have progressed through the lessons so quickly. She had her interview this Sunday and is worthy to have her baptism this Saturday :D We also had the opportunity to take Luis to a baptismal service this past weekend. He is still ready to get baptised, but he needs to come to church at least two more times. Please pray for him to have the desire to come to church.
Our two other investigators that I want to talk about are Rafa and Carmen. Rafa is still struggling with his habit of smoking. However, he is also devouring/studying the Book of Mormon. Every visit He has questions for us. Please pray that he can overcome his habit of smoking. We had our first lesson with Carmen last week about the restoration. It was very powerful because we were able to share how we gained our testimonies and the Member that came with us, Mosiah, was also able to share his testimony. Please pray that she can recieve an answer about the Book of Mormon.
We also had a Noche de Hogar activity with our ward. We had to sing Love at Home in Spanish and English fue feo.
Sorry for the long email. I had to squeeze two weeks into it.
I love and pray for you all,
Elder Thompson
