Week 7

Well Hello Hello J

Happy Independence Day for Mexico, Viva Mexico J

So, last Monday we went to eat at Sylvester’s Burgers!! I ordered the “Holy Jalapeño” and yes…I ate all of the jalapeños.  I know you don’t believe me,  but I’m a missionary…I don’t lie.  Also for district activity we went on a hike.  It was SO hot and it was hard, but it was worth it…I liked it because as a district we were able to share our stories of how we decided to serve a mission.
We had Exchanges on Tuesday with Sister Schmidt and Sister Taylor.  I was my turn to work with Sister Schmidt and that day I learned a lot from her.  We focused on asking inspired questions and it helped me lot to have that goal throughout the day.  We went to visit Rebecca but she was sick and we only talked to her daughter.  We also offered help in whatever they needed and we gave them our phone number so they can call us anytime they need us.  Later, walking to the car we met two guys and we had the opportunity to talk to them about our beliefs.  They gave us their name, address, and phone numbers so we can call them this week and visit them at their house. Later we went to a house of a lady that Sister Rubow met during the last transfer, but she wasn’t home.   Her brother Gabriel was there and told us the whole family was sick and he didn’t have that much time.  We offered our services to help cook or clean, but he told us no thank you but he told us me could help her plant some seeds.  So we went to his backyard and we had the opportunity to talk to him for about an hour about how we are all brothers and sisters and that we have a Heavenly Father that loves us so much.  He liked what we were sharing and he was interested to learn more.  We have an appointment for tomorrow with him and he is very excited.  Later coming out of his house we found Tracey (is a guy) and we talked to him for a minute and he was really grateful the message we shared with him and for the spirit we had.  Later we went to look for Rene and Olga but they weren’t home.  But Rene’s dad was there and he told us that Rene is in rehab.  So we are really excited that he is going to receive the help that he needs.  It was a day full of miracles!

On Wednesday we went to visit some less active members, but they weren’t home.  After that we went to visit Shane and he doing good and he feed us.  And he is still on track with his goal to quit smoking by October 3rd.  Thursday we had a district meeting and it was good.  I loved to be able to get together as a district and be able to help each other.  Sister Rubow and I sang “Mas Cerca Dios A Ti” because it was Hermana Rubow’s last meeting.  Later the Elders (the ones who speak English) sang “Para Siempre Dios Este Con Vos” in Spanish and it was so sweet.  Later we went to visit Charo and she was home and we read 3 Nephi 11 with her.  I invited her to read 2 Nephi 31 for this week.  She really liked what the scriptures say.

On Friday we received another companion!  Hermana Ahmu!  So we will be a companionship of 3 until the next transfer.  Later we went to visit Tracey again and he practically invited himself to church for next Sunday.  He told us that he wants to change his life and he believes that the Gospel can help him to do it.  We also contacted a reference, Pedro, and he is very excited to learn our Gospel.

This weekend was Stake Conference and Presidente Felix and his wife attended.  An Elder form the Quorum of the 70 also came.  It was a really good conference and I learned so many things.

Today during my scripture study I found a scripture that I like a lot, 1 Corinthians 10:13.  I know that the Lord never leaves us alone and that He gives us the strength to go through anything. 

I love you all and thank you for all you love and prayers!!
