Hola mi Familia Y Amigos!!!!
Hows
it going with everyone at home?? You guys all watch General
Conference??? Wow! That session was a POWERFUL session!!!! My
favorite sessions were in Saturday!
Those two sessions during the day, and especially the Priesthood
Session at night!! I´ve learned a ton about following the Spirit,
exercising the Priesthood, and so much more! If you didn´t get the
chance to watch Conference, go and watch it at lds.org, and your mind will be blown!
How
grateful are we that we have a modern day prophet here on earth, who
guides us through the paths of mortality back to our Father in Heaven?
So
this week has been a crazy week of preparing for this upcoming week!
Me and my comp are effectively super missionaries, going from one area to
the next to help the Hermanas get people ready for baptism, and to make
sure everything is going smoothly! We hardly have time to be in our
own area, but the amazing thing is that we´re still finding a lot of new
people to teach! There are so many escogidos here in Cuauhtemoc, and
honestly, I would love to serve my whole mission here in this small
city!
I haven´t had any troubles with dogs for a LONG time
now, which is a little sketchy... I'm kinda waiting to see what the next
kind of trouble will be.... Guess what??? I'm friends with the Narcos
here!!! We´ve been meeting a lot of Narcos here recently, (No not
cholos, or gangsters, Narcos) and they´re actually pretty cool!
Funny
story, we met a Narco at his house one night, and he came out to talk
to us and everything. (They have a rule where they always have to wear a
handkerchief over their nose and mouth) and he was telling us how he'd
like to learn from us, but he was going back to his fields the next day
for another 7 month tour over there. That kinda bummed us all out, and
then I had the bright idea to ask why he had to always wear that handkerchief
around his mouth all the time. He said you want to know? Hang on a sec
and I'll be right back (obviously this is the English translation of what
he said). He went inside his house and me and my comp looked at
each other and said to the other, ¨he's coming back with a gun isn't he?¨
We were really freaked out, but couldn't run cause we were far from the door,
so I was getting ready to use my scriptures as an ¨Iron Rod¨ (Haha get
the joke?) and try to get out of there alive. Thankfully he just
comes out with a phone and begins to show us a bunch of pictures on his
¨ranch¨ out in the Sierra. He had some pretty sick pics of him and his
AK47, and a beautiful garden of Marijuana. It would make many
Coloradans very jealous. We oooed and awwwed, said goodbye, then High
tailed it out of there!!!
Hope you guys have a great week!
