Elder Snow: Week 25: January 15-21, 2019 Molango

Hey everybody!

This past week has been amazing! Zacualtipan is so beautiful, I love it here. I now live on the third floor of a huge yellow building and there are so many people here who have never even heard of our church, which is great! This area is beautiful and is super foggy about 85% of the time. Some days we can't even see the other side of the street. Along with the high elevation, its pretty cold here, and on occasion can snow. It is extremely green and is super pretty. Here in Zacualtipan the chapel is a House of prayer. It has about 15 members that come every week - including us and the misioneras. Every Sunday I get to go to 4 hours of church because our branch has two services one in Molango about 50 mins from Zacualtipan where the sisters work and one here in Zacualtipan. So we spend most of our Sunday traveling and in church which is super awesome. This Sunday I was able to speak in church, and honestly, it was a super awesome experience, usually before a talk I spend hours writing it to make it perfect. This week I didn´t have that much time, so I kinda forgot about it. It was really awesome, I ended up speaking for 25 mins without anything prepared, which is something I have never done before, let alone in another language. It truly was great to have that experience and see the growth I have made since I entered the mission.

So this past week I was a little bummed out that I was no longer training my son Elder Zacarias. But over the course of this week, I have learned so much and realized time and time again that this new area is exactly where I need to be. The will of God is much greater than my own. My companion elder Bolaños is super chido, and all of my weaknesses are his strengths and all of his weaknesses are my strengths, I feel like we are the perfect team. It is great.

So the investigators here in zacualtipan here are golden they follow up with almost all the compromises we give them and have been progressing super fast. I love it here so much. Right now we have seven people with a baptismal date and they are all so amazing. In specific four of them are a family, named la Familia Rojas. They are super great and know the truth of the church but are struggling with dropping coffee. Which as you all know is my specialty. jajaja I was able to talk with the grandmother and help her understand the importance of the palabra de sabiduria, and so far in the past few days hasn’t drunk a single drop. This family is super awesome and they taught me this morning how to make bolas (a round tomal) They taste super good. This area is so great and I am so happy to serve here!

LOVE YOU ALL; stay safe, stay strong.

LOVE ELDER SNOW
