Well.... here`s the thing.... my camera was in he backpack that I lost so I am having to use E. Garmendia`s any time that I want pictures which really just happened today. We had an activity with the zone that we went to some ruins. I had others from my last few weeks in Cuicatlan where we did service and went to some other ruins, but that is all gone now. I’ll pass the photos from today and a pic of us now.
This week was pretty good. We found a few new people. Juan Luis and Claudia. I`m scared of Juan Luis because he is weird and obsessed with me saying that I am going to save him and that my comp does nothing. I don’t do anything so I have NO idea what he is talking about.
Claudia is nice but messed up from the catholic church. She thinks all churches that talk about God will get us to heaven. We have a lot of work ahead of us.
Abel, our baptism for this Sunday, has just informed us that he isn’t married legally to his wife and therefore cannot be married yet. He is willing to do whatever it takes to fix that problem. He is still gold.
We should have another 2 baptisms on Saturday. Ruby and Linda are sisters 9 - 10 yrs old and 9 yrs old respectively. They have been going to church with their grandparents for years so we really just had an overview of the lessons to make sure that they understood everything completely and without confusion. Very easy. We just need to hear that their mom gives a definite yes. Their dad is a member but is currently state-side. We are going to be fasting this week for sure.
I wish I could be there for the Trek just to help out. I LOVED when we did that. I can’t understand why some people didn’t enjoy it as long as they did everything right. But that’s just my opinion.
I don’t know if you know this, but I have been collecting scriptures and writing them in the back of my study journal to help me and to prepare for the rest of my life and a Son of God and one day a father. Well, I will now be putting them into their own binder because I can’t fit them all in there. It really is amazing to take every scripture and apply it to our lives in order to get everything we can out of it and to understand it better.
This Sunday, I was just feeling like crud in the morning despite having a lesson before church. I just couldn’t shake it. Then we got into sacrament meeting and I took the Sacrament. I said a prayer that was full of more emotion than I had thought I had in that moment and I know that I was being guided to pray. During my prayer, that was more like a plea, such a feeling of peace filled my body and I just felt warm. I felt the sadness being burned from my soul. I truly felt the cleansing power of the Sacrament. I had felt it before, but I had forgotten that it could be so wonderful.
I really do love my mission, I just feel like sometimes it doesn’t love ME. Hahaha.
I love you all!!!! Bye!!
