Hi Everyone!
This past week was great, it was a lot calmer, which has been very nice! On Tuesday and Wednesday, we went on companion exchanges with two elders in our district. On Tuesday, I stayed in Guerrero with Elder Gonzalez, and Wednesday, I stayed here with Elder Ponce. They are both nice missionaries, and both are from Mexico! It was nice to see different forms of teaching and contacting!
So, this week my companion was "sick" for most of the day on Friday. So, we didn’t make our goal of fifteen contacts daily and only got 3. It was really frustrating to me so on Saturday, I wanted to make up the difference, we ended up doing 40 contacts and me making up 30 of the contacts haha. I was a little overzealous. Guerrero needs some help in the interest category. Everyone here is very devout Catholic or drunk. It is very hard to teach these categories.
Every day, except Mondays, we go and eat at a member’s house. The sisters here are amazing, but sometimes they forget that we are humans and can’t eat as much as fifteen whole cows. Meals usually begin with Hot rice or Hot noodles in ketchup water, then we eat chicken (usually chicken) cooked in a spicy temperature wise Hot red sauce, or sometimes we eat other meat, but on rare occasions, (barbacoa, carnitas, and chorizo). Also, with the meals, we are served with either apple soda (manzanita) or fruit puree water (Floaties and everything).
Honestly, I can´t complain the food is really good, but with hot food and the hot sun mixed with carbonation, being overstuffed and spiciness, you can see why my American stomach begins to have issues hahaha.
Anyways I had a really great experience during one of my personal studies this week. I have been trying to study the topical guide scriptures on Jesus. It has been so cool too, little by little, come to know more about Christ, his life, and how he is our mediator between God. Because of Christ´s atonement, we come to know him and because we come to know him, we come to Know our Heavenly Father. This past Sunday, the primary had a program during sacrament and the theme of it was I am a child of God. It was cool to see how similar everything is between Utah programs and Mexico Programs. The children still act like the children in Utah, just they speak Spanish. It was cool to hear them sing about how we truly are children of a loving Heavenly Father. This fact is just so amazing. God loves each and every one of us with such an infinite and wholesome love. He truly wants us to be not just happy but joyful. I know that He knows me and that He knows you too. He has given us commandments to protect us, to help us find the best way back to him because we truly are His children. Love you all and God loves you all!
