I feel like I'm melting out here in Mexico..... and the worst part is that its only going to get hotter! Thankfully this will be the last summer that I will have to endure out here in Mexico!!!
This week
went really great! Mis niños se bautizaron!!!! My kids baptized!!!
Not all of them, only the ones who really wanted to, there were 6 of
them (sorry forgot my camera today) and they are all really cool! All
these kids are from an Indian reservation here in Cuauhtemoc, and the
circumstances that they live in is really humbling. Its just super
simple apartments with a futbal field and a place to wash your clothes
outside. These kids are basically growing up in the ghetto of the
ghettos, but they're enjoying church more and more every time they go!
Yes we still pile them all into a truck or mini van every time we go to
church, its really crazy (and really smelly... Did I forget to mention
that tauramarens bathe like 1 a month?) We are still working on the
parents in this small reservation, but its coming along great and
everyone seems to love us!!!!!! We had a huge water fight like 2 weeks
ago with all the kids, me and my comp got SOAKED, but it was absolutely
worth it. The kids are opening doors for us to the parents, and its
really awesome!
Before I go on, HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to my
Wonderful Mother!!!!!!! She's the best mom any son could ask for, and
thank you so much for everything you have done for me mom!!!
It
was great talking with the family over skype yesterday, my sisters are
growing up so much! Mom and Dad still look as young as ever, y mi chiko
perrito is still as crazy as ever!!!! I'm happy with all that's going on
here in the mission, and I'm going to keep pressing forward diligently
and being the missionary God wants me to be!!!!!!!
Siempre Fuerte,
Elder Pettingill
