Week 33: March 11-18, 2019 Bedazzled
So
this week was a little bit slower than normal but we were able to go with a lot
of cool investigators. On Wednesday we were able to go help an investigator
bedazzle pants with gems. it requires lining up each stone and then ironing it
for 2mins, when we got to her house we saw the 750 pairs of pants and realized
she needed help. I think we helped her do about 100 pants before we left for
another cita. It was interesting, I never realized how many places and people
our pants pass before they are in our hands. It really makes me realize how
lucky we are to not have to set up a factory in our home to be able to live. It
is truly humbling to see some of the things and way of living that people have
here in Mexico. Despite their circumstances, the people are absolutely
amazing.
So update on Fabis,
this week we went to her house and we were talking when all of the sudden she
was like "Okay, look one of my friends called me and told me they were
going to send me a link and that I should look at it." and I was flipin
out a bit. She continued, "It was about the book of Mormon.... and I read
all of it." They friend texted her back and said: now you know the truth
of it. Fabis called her friend back and told this guy off!! She told him that
he has no room to be talking because he has never read the book, even a single
page, or felt the goodness of it. She also told him that if he truly wanted to
know the truth he would read the book of Mormon, she then testified that she
knew the book of Mormon was true because she had read it and had felt in her
heart. This honestly made me so happy, to have helped someone gain a strong
enough testimony to withstand anti-Mormon literature attacks. she told us you
can’t go to war with out prepping for it hahha. It was awesome.
LOVE YOU ALL!!!!
Thanks for all the support and prayers and emails!
Love you all!
Love Elder Snow.
The bed bugs are getting worse :(

Week 32: March 5-11, 2019 Showers and Carnivals
Updated Pics on the last post (Week 30)
Hey Everyone! March 11, 2019
Hope everyone is doing well!
This week was definitely an adventure! We have been able to find a ton of really cool people by being directed to where we need to be by the spirit! It has been great, actually this past Sunday we had five of our investigators come to church and 28 people came in total it was super awesome! We definitely felt the help of God in this work!
Also, funny story, We recently just moved into the casa de oracion to help reduce the costs here in Zacualtipan. The casa de oracion is where we hold our weekly services on Sunday. It is a "House of Prayer," which is basically a house that is dedicated to be a church, so yes, I live in a church! haha, well, part of the moving into this house includes renovating it while we live here! Well on Thursday we had an issue with the water, it was not there. So we called the owner, fixed the problem and we were able to get the water to rise to the tank. We turned on the boiler and my companion went to shower. He came back out are you sure you turned on the Hot water? I told him I was sure and then I went and showed him that it was the left knob and opened it a little bit. Warm water came out. He then turned the knob a little bit more and it launched the knob across the room and steaming hot water started pouring out. Mind you my companion is in his towel. I run upstairs while he tried to put the knob back on. I shut off the boiler and climbed on the roof to shut off the valve that connected to the tanks. IT was an adventure. we definitely ran around like chickens with our heads cut off. But we were able to fix the shower and shower with five phone calls later.
Also, on Tuesday we had a fun opportunity to see the carnival. It is a huge parade with floats and everything and everyone dresses up like Satan or weird stuff. It was super cool to see!
Love you all!
