Adventures

---Walking In Circles--- I had divisions last week in my district leader´s area. We went to go contact and well, we just ended up walking in circles on accident. We would find an intersection or a house again and again. The streets here are confusing sometimes. ---Adventures in Nativities--- We went out today to go buy nativities for home. We ended up waiting several hours in the mall because my debit card wasn't working and wandering the Mercado looking for nativities. I eventually found some that I liked at the price that I liked. Mission Complete! ---Spiritual Thought--- “In some of my darkest moments and my deepest anguish, I’ve come to believe that life is incredibly unfair — in our favor,” said Jennie Taylor, a mother of seven. “If we let Him, Jesus Christ will consecrate the unfairness for our gain,” Elder Renlund taught. “He will not just console us and restore what was lost; He will use the unfairness for our benefit.” “Life is Incredibly Unfair — In Our Favor” https://you...

Weekly Letter

  ---Sofia Maradiaga--- We had a visit with our investigator Sofia. She's the ex-girlfriend of a member that left on his mission. She is super interested in the church but if she wants to eat she can't go to sacrament meeting, rough. Her family hates the church which is a big obstacle but the Primary President in our ward (who loves missionary work) had a similar experience and wants to help her. I hope everything goes well with her and that she can accept the gospel. ---I gave a talk--- I was asked to give a talk on Sunday. I talked about the importance of families in society and eternally. I talked for about 15 minutes and it was high council sunday, so I just robbed all the high councilors time. (He went over of course). I did not have many notes but I still managed to do a decent job. ---Well this should be simple--- We found out on Sunday that a Primary kid recently turned 8 years old. Her parents aren't members but that is because they can't due to legal marriage ...

Video Week

 No letter, just pics and lots of videos.

Last Week (this is late, from the last week of October)

  ---Baptism--- We had the baptism of Nayeli on Sunday. She had been an investigator for a very long time (since last December) and many missionaries had given up on her. The entire ward attended which was great. We ran out of cake and there wasn't enough seating for everyone. It was great to see her take that step ---Another Baptism--- We attended the baptism of the bishop's daughter on Monday as well. The baptism doesn't count for us, but it's still great to see another baptism for the ward. We were able to help with the prep for it which was fun. We had to tape a mop to a broom to get the door open (hard to fill the font without the keys to it but we managed) ---Spiritual Thought--  But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. John 14:6  I really like this scripture because of how well it describes the Holy Ghost. He helps us ...
