Hey everybody,
This week has been a little bit crazy, but super awesome too!!
Lunes:
It was basically just a normal PDay we cleaned, wrote, washed clothes, ate cemitas jaja, and then we went out to the edge of our area with Elder Ricks and Elder Torres. We were checking out an old abandoned hacienda, which was super cool. We climbed up some super unstable walls that were like 2 meters high and they crumbled and freaked us out a little bit, but we all made it out ok. We also got some cool pictures and didn't find any snakes which was nice. After that we headed back to the internet cafe because I had forgotten my cell. We started calling my cell phone we found a kid that had it in his pocket, who very quickly told us he had found it in the seat next to him and he was saving it for the owner haha.
Martes:
Today was a super hard day because all of our citas fell and it was raining too yay. So I was walking around a little bit grumpy and tired, but after realizing that I am trying to change those aspects of myself I forced a grin onto my face. We then decided to go contact a house and a old man answered us and super quickly ushered us into his house. It was super cool how quickly God can bless us when we just change our attitude.
Miércoles:
We had the opportunity to eat with a family that is experiencing some trying times right now. The husbands father had just recently died that day so it was a super hard experience to see him crying. I don't know what was going on with his wife, but she just kept on talking about how her father in law had never accepted the gospel and shame on him and how her family has 3 generations in the church. I just looked at her and couldn't help but think can't you see that your husband is in pain. The husband left half way through the comida to go to hospital. After we finished eating the scriptures de 2 Nefi 32 came to our minds. We shared how as members we have the gift of the Holy Ghost and that this means that we can talk with others like angels. We talked about the angels in our lives and how we have been changed by their influences. So many times in my life I think I have been like this hermana only thinking in the negative and saying things negatively, but now I know how important our influence can be in helping others receive peace and consuelo. Please be angels for others!!
We also got news that we are going to change areas with the Hermanas in Huejotzingo tomorrow which means we are going to be cleaning and getting everything ready for the hermanas all night long yay. haha jkjk
Jueves:
We had two interviews with baptism candidates and mine was with an 80 yr old grandma. It was such a sweet experience because she really wants to be more close with her family. She has the verdadera intention to be baptized. I felt a lot of Gods love for her especially when I learned that she can't read or write. It was such a special experience to tell her that she can now be baptized and be clean of all the mistakes that she has made in her life. I also felt a lot of caridad for her when she signed her name on her registro, which was only three loops. I thought about all of the people that don't have as much opportunities as we do. I hope I can help a few of them in the short time of my mission. I am eternally grateful for the blessings I have received in my life.
Don't have to much time but...
Viernes more changing around stuff with the hermanas de Huejotzingo
Sábado Baptism of Martina the 80 yr old grandma. Super awesome to hear her testimony at the end of her baptism
Domingo: Elder Gonzalez has served in Huejotzingo before and we found a family that he used to teach. It was super cool to see how much God has prepared this family during this year that missionaries didn't visit them.
I love all of you thank you for reading some of the boring stories that I like telling.
Have a great week!!
Elder Thompson
