HMMMMMM
- WHERE DO I START, MY DEAR FAMILY AND FRIENDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I
know I say every week... what a great week!!! But really - what a great week!!! We had a lot of activities and appointments
that went great and we are both just loving being here in Mexico together!!! And we are getting a lot better at ignoring
the “GUERAS GUERAS GUERAS” that we hear in the streets on every corner!!!
hahahaha But we are loving it and using
us being different to contact a ton of people!!!!
Like
the pictures you saw... hopefully!!! You
see that we learned how to make tortillas!!! It is super hard but really fun! THEY TASTE LIKE HEAVEN!!!!! We are going to get so fat from eating all of
them! But it is so worth it! The hermana’s name is Connie and she is a recent covert (2 years ago like dad) and wow,
her life has changed so much since then. It was so fun to spend a little time with her
and learn something new!!! But the thing
is, who knows when I get back if I will be able to do it... I think if you don’t
make them here in Mexico they don’t taste the same ;) hahahaha But we will see what we can do!!!!!
We
had an open house in one of the church houses in our stake last Saturday so we
went and helped out! What we did was in
each room we had a presentation about one of the missionary lessons! We had the plan of salvation and it was
AWESOME!!!!!!!!! What we did was first
of start out by showing a picture of our family and explaining “HOW MUCH WE
LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!!” but also how the gospel has helped us. It was super cool to see the people light up
and completely open up. After we shared,
everyone was so willing to talk and share also! (Thanks for the help you guys) We shared about what things we need to do to receive
an eternal family! IT WAS SUPER
POWERFUL!!!!!!! And there was a family there
who weren’t members and all of them were so excited and are going to start
learning about the church! THE FAMILY IS
EVERYTHING!!!!! I just want to thank you
family for everything that you have done for me; I love you with all my heart
and soul and if I have learned one thing here on the mission it is that the
families are ESSENTIAL to the plan of God!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU FAM!!!!!!!!!!
Okay,
so remember Lamar - the man that only
speaks English??? Well he and his wife invited us over for dinner on Saturday
night you won’t believe what they made us!!!!!!!!!! MEAT LOAF AND HOMEMADE MASHED POTATOES AND
CORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We were in heaven!!!!! I didn’t think I missed American food so
much... hahahahaha But we had a fun time
being there with them and talking a little English! They are super nice and went to church
yesterday!!! We are hoping to get
everything figured out so that Lamar can get baptized soon!!!!
But
yeah that was our week!!! If anyone
comes up with some solutions for my sleep walking and talking please send them
over... I am afraid my companion is
going to kick me out.... ;) Last night I
took all of the things and ran to my bed to hide them!! HELP ME I AM CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahaha
Crazy,
but HAPPY!!!!!!!! I am where I should
and want to be. I am growing and
learning and preparing!!! This life is a
time to prepare to meet God!!!! We have
to use our time wisely!! He is waiting
to welcome us back! :) I know He is our
father and that we are children of Him. I
love Him so much and am so happy to be able to share this amazing love He has
for us with Ciudad Juarez! There are
people in all places that are just waiting to find the peace the gospel
brings!!! I know this plan is perfect!!!
CON
MUCHO MUCHO MUCHO AMOR PARA TODOS!!!!!!!!!!
