WEEK 65

Last week was pretty good. Here are the highlights — - MEXICAN NIGHT On the 15th of September, we had a Mexican Night in the stake for Mexican Independence Day!! It was supposed to start at 6:30 pm, but because we are in Mexico, it started at 8 pm!! It kinda sucked cuz we had to be in the house by 8:30 pm and a bunch of missionaries came from far away so they didn't get to enjoy much. We helped set most of it up and then had to go. But the other set of elders got to sleep at our house that night. We ate like 45 tacos and drank 6 liters of coke! There were only 4 of us!! Then at like 10:30 pm, we worked out and then got hungry again so we went and grabbed ramen and ate that. We ended up going to bed at like 2 am. The best part of the night was definitely at the house, not at the Mexican Night. - TRIO This week I went to an area and was in a trio! It was actually really fun and I'd be down to be put in a trio for a few months!! We saw a bunch of miracles when we were there! We go...

This week was really good!! We finally got to work in our area!! Here are the highlights — - INTERCAMBIOS!! This week I went on exchanges in an area called Zumpango. The exchanges went really well!! We found a family of 5 who are Buddhist but said they were gonna attend church and start reading the Book of Mormon!! We also put 3 people on date for baptism, which was really cool!! One of the people has been receiving lessons from missionaries for 25 years and hasn't been baptized yet!! Hopefully we can help him finally choose to get baptized. - ROBBED I prolly had the most Mexican experience possible!! We were walking in a dangerous part of town where missionaries aren't supposed to go. But we had an appointment to go visit someone, so it was worth it. I came in with the expectation that I was gonna get robbed so I wouldn't be caught off guard. Everything was really good. We finished the lesson, (which went very well, by the way) and we were walking out of the town when a mi...

 This week was really good. Here are the highlights — - ZONE CONFERENCE We had Zone Conference and one of the seventies came down to attend our meeting. I learned a bunch. It was really weird cuz my comp was conducting the zone conference!!... so we had to sit up front and face everyone. Not gonna lie — I felt a little bit judged up in that seat. But also, after the meeting, the seventy asked if he could have an interview with me. It was super cool!! It was prolly like 15 minutes, but it literally changed my life!! - LEADERSHIP TRAINING We also had leadership training!! It was pretty nuts!! It was like 2 and a half hours away from our house so the night before we stayed at the apartment of the assistants. That was nuts! We first went and got tacos and then went back to the house. We had a few calls to make and then we had a nerf war and broke a cabinet!! So then we decided to go to bed but ended up talking for like an hour and a half. Then we had to wake up at 4 am which ...
