This week has been super awesome. I have a ton of pictures, but I can’t upload them until I find another computer to accept the chip... But anyways we have been working super hard in Guerrero. We actually were able to teach a lot and we have a baptism planned for this Saturday! The boy’s name is Bryan. He is eleven years old and has actually been attending in another ward adjacent to us. He has assisted since he was a little boy with his aunts and grandma. We were honestly led by the spirit to find this boy. For some reason (the spirit) we felt the need to go down this road that honestly is a trail that looks like no one has ever been on. We passed by this lady holding her 2-month-old baby and she invited us in and we talked about what we believe in our church. She cut us off and said I know, I go in Santiago. And we were like whaaaaaa? Her back yard literally is across the street from the capilla (chapel) here in Guerrero. She then asked us to prepare her son for baptism. We are super excited to help him in the process to be baptized! He will be the first convert baptism in the past two years for this area!
We have a few more investigators ready for baptism. They only need to attend a few more times and hopefully make it to the chapel before this next transfer. We currently have 15 people we are teaching, and we have grown a lot from opening an area that has been closed for more than half a year. One of our most promising investigators is Fernando. He is a twenty-two-year-old man that does construction for hire. He is super amazing and has a strong testimony of our Savior, we just need to get him to attend. In one of the lessons we had with him, he ended with a prayer. In the prayer he said something that melted my heart and re-invigorated my purpose here in my mind. To bring others unto Christ. He talked about how he was able to feel something from the lessons we had taught him and that he was so grateful for it. It was an absolutely amazing experience.
This past week was one of the coldest weeks in the history of the Mexico Pachuca mission. It got below zero here (c) and there was actually snow in several areas here on the mission. We could even see our breath inside the apartment. We also had eight-inch icicles outside our house. it was super funny there were even icicles on the cactuses. The outdoor lock on the chapel was even frozen shut and we had to break through ice to open the gate. It was super cold but was also an awesome adventure. Fog covered us on every side and we couldn´t see anything for few days. It was awesome. Thankfully the members were super kind and gave us gloves and hats to help us stay warm!
We also found another awesome family named Jimenez Almazan. They are a family of five with the oldest 16, 13, and 6 months. Their children are super receptive and like to hear our message. I really hope we can help them progress more fully to baptism. They own a tiendita (small shop) in the center of Tecomatlan. They are super awesome.
Everything is going great here in Guerrero with Elder Cruz and me.
Love you ALL,
Elder Snow
