| Baptism of Merced Tovar |
This week was fantastic! My district is working hard, and they're getting results now so they're pretty happy. Also everything out in Jimenez is going great!
The branch members are finally starting to
get more active in missionary work, and are starting to get things
together in the branch! Everyone is working hard to have more people
come to Church, working super hard to reactivate members, and we're all
doing super awesome out here!
Now, there's a lot more heat,
however I'm pretty sure its only going to be like this for a week or
two.... This week on Saturday is Mexico Independence Day!!! WOOOOOOO!
Everyone here is like, vive Mexico!!! while 'Im here like, Vive
America!!! The ward wants me to lead them in their national
anthem..... Aunque tengo el corazon de los Mexicanos, todavía soy
Americano (Estado Unidense).
What's new? Well we had a
baptism this week!!!! Super awesome! Her names is Merced Tovar, sh'es
like 80 years old. Her son was baptized almost a year ago. Super cool
family, super humble. They built their house in a funky way, basically
didn't put a raised cement foundation like in all other places, and
because of that, whenever it rains they have a river inside their
house.... They figured out that putting sandbags at the door keeps the
floods out. There's a good spiritual thought in this...Build
your foundations on Christ, and according to how Christ has said. You
can't go wrong in building upon his foundation, and that way, once the
floods come, your spiritual house will still stand strong, firm, and dry
on the inside!
Love You guys a ton!
