Preguntas Mas Rapido
1. What is the mission policy regarding eating fresh fruit and veg?
We can eat everything that isn't fish or sea food. Here there were lots of missionaries that got sick from eating fish, so we can't eat it unless it is approved by Presidente Whitehead. I miss salmon!!
2. How much longer in this change?
This is the last week of this change. I am both a little disappointed (there is still so much to do!) and a little relieved at the same time. :)
3. Weirdest people story of the week:
Ummm.... We had a stake conference yesterday and the Sister Training Leaders in the zone brought this older investigator to church. And halfway through the conference he decided that he had received revelation from God and that he had to get married with one of them. So he proposed. Sigh. That cruel sister missionary told him no. ;) Haha. He took it well though. He is still going to get baptized one day. :)
4. Weirdest non-human story of the week:
Saw a dog that had a really swollen foot. Like the size of three of my fists put together. That was gross. Or maybe when we saw another dog peeing on some of the images of the Virgin de Guadalupe in the street. .... There are lots of dogs here in México.
HI THERE!! :D
I cannot believe that we are on the last week of this change. It has flown by so quicky. It has been one of the more difficult changes of my mission, for many reasons, but also one of the most rewarding. I have learned so much and have so much to practice applying in the next two changes.
We found a couple new families yesterday that are really really good. One of them now has a baptismal date for the 22 of May, and we are working with the other. They live about three houses down from each other, so it will make bringing them to church and going with them for the sufficient time a lot more easy. :) I am so excited to start working with them! They are great. haha. Actually, it turns out that the 22nd of May is the birthday of the grandma of the first family, which made her that much more excited. They have received us so well.
We have been working so hard to try and find new people and still aren't seeing the fruits that we are hoping for. Finding these two families was a huge blessing and an answer to a lot of prayers and fasts. And, in the end, there is no replacement for good hard work. We worked like maniacs this week, talking with everyone we could, trying to find the people that the Lord has been preparing for us. I love this work, especially when we have time and opportunity to do just that: WORK. It is so satisfying. :) We are doing our very best to find people.
Our work with the ward is going ok. We still haven't received a new ward mission leader, so coordinating our work with the ward has been tough. But we are getting along as is. We are trying to have the young men come work with us as much as we can.
This change has been very very hard. There has been a lot to do for the sisters, in the zone, to take care of my companion and try and maintain a good relationship, work with my leaders, and keep trying to baptize every week and keep improving as a missionary. But it has been a good kind of hard. Missionary growing pains. :) And I want to keep working and growing until the end.
There has been a little bit of everything. I am grateful for all that has happened. I am also grateful for changes and the chance that I will now have to keep going and learning and growing and working. Mission is the best the ever! :D
Love,
