Well
great, to bapismal dates, two interviews, and neither person showed up.
Both said they were scared and not ready. Kinda a bummer, but I guess
thats life. Really life is great here though. The sun is getting really
hot, the ground is really dry, and the dirt is everywhere. people
literally sweep the dirt, because there really is no ground haha. They
sweep dirt off dirt :) There is a couple main roads in the area, and so
if we drive we are on those roads, also we do have a walmart up the road
from us and a little shoping mall. Its like a different world in
walmart, all nice and clean. But Walmarts in Mexico are crazy too,
because they are blaring music way loud the entire time, and people
drive carts like they do cars haha. Oh and if we buy stuff at walmart,
we take a taxi home so that our stuff doesnt get stolen. Really though
we haven't run into any problems. I can't remember if I put this in my
letter. But It's like pac man haha, We get ontop of hills where we can
see all that is going on, and plan our route to the next house,
avoiding, large sterios, bonfires, and noise. and we look for lights and
members houses to run too haha. It's pretty fun, one time we were
pretty sketched out because we had to pass this bonfire, and here
usually around the fire are drunks and chollos we started getting close
and the fire was one street above us. As we watched the fire everybody
started to leave and walk towards us.... We were freaking sketching out
haha. We started to walk alittle faster, and we looked up towards the
fire again... and it was like 10 12 year olds at the fire haha. Nothing
to worry about. Really this mission hasn't had anything happen bad in to
for a long time. It was worse in Michigan.
The only thing that scares me is the dogs. All day
long they are dead as can be, they don't move and lay out in the sun.
But when night comes, they think that they own this place. They bark and
chase you. fortunatly none have been very big, and we have faught them
all off haha but yeah :)
As for the week. Yesterday, we had church and had 4
investigators there, which was way good to see. But after that, Elder
Morales had a meeting in Central, Like an hour away. He left, and I
spent the whole day with the ward mission leader. Who is a recent
convert. So we had some good lessons, my favorite lesson of the week was
with him. We were talking to his brother, and sharing the plan of
salvation with him. When his brother started asking alot of questions,
so I tried to answer as many as I could out of the scriptures. And
mainly out of the book of Mormon. After a couple of scriptures he asked
if you could find that in the bible. And to be honest I told him no, and
then he started talking about how he had seen that the bible had turned
some people for the bad. So I showed him 1 nephi 13. which talks about
how because the bible has been passed down, and lost things, satan has
control over the peoples harts. He was way excited to see that the book
of Mormon had all these answers. It was way cool to see the power of the
Book of Mormon work on someone like that. Unfortunatly the ward mission
leader had something we hard to get to, or else I think we would have
another date for baptism. This guy is really receptive to the gospel,
and Thats what makes mexico great. People really do want to learn about
christ and change their lives. Hopefully we can bring them that
opportunity.
As for more then that. I love you all tons.
