Hey Everyone,
So, this past week was the annual celebration of Satan’s (a.k.a. the Virgen de Guadalupe) visit to Juan Pablo. The way we celebrate the Fourth of July is how they celebrate the entire last week. All day and night fireworks go off, let’s just say I HAD to buy earplugs, plus my new comp snores hahah. The mission is an adventure. It has been really interesting seeing people bike from here to the city of Mexico honking horns, and also to see the people carrying giant statues of the Virgen. I never realized how important the commandment of idolatry is until Mexico. It truly is crazy.
So, this Saturday we were able to do a service project as a district in Tecomatlan, the pueblo (city) I live in. We cleaned up the park and cut the bushes, about five thousand, and picked up so much trash, it’s not illegal to throw trash on the ground. The six of us only cleaned up about half the park. It was super fun, we played church music for everyone to hear. Half way through the project we were completely surrounded by 30 Jehovah witness, but luckily none of them tried to contend with us.
This Sunday our mission had a cantata de Navidad (Christmas program) in Pachuca. Luckily, we were able to take an investigator to the program, but they could only drive us back half way to our home. We got off in San Agustine and could not find the bus and the phone was dead, blessedly we were able to find the sisters here and tell us where to go. We got home at 10:25 five minutes before we are supposed to be asleep. It was super awesome, and we were super blessed.
Also, this past week I have been super worried about one of our recent baptisms because he didn’t go to church last week. It worried me a ton. I thought he was maybe dead or had disappeared because no one had seen him, and we couldn't find him anywhere. This Sunday he came to church and we were so happy to see him alive and well. He had to work last Sunday and missed church. But now we are going to make sure he stays active. It really is interesting to have so much love for someone I have only known for a few weeks. If I feel this much love for someone I hardly know, I can only imagine how much love God has for all of us.
Love you all so much! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
