Hey
Everyone,
May 20, 2019
So,
this past weekend was a blast and full of expected and unexpected events! On
Friday morning Elder Vasquez and I learned that we would be closing our area
for this cycle and that two more new Elders would be coming! This was really
sad for me because I really have loved the ward that I have been in, the bishop
and the other members are really amazing and really support the mission work!
Especially since we have had so much success here and have a few people with
baptismal dates, thankfully two other elders will take our place this
Monday. So, returning home Friday night we cleaned the home and then we
went to bed. At 2:30 in the morning, our Carbon monoxide Alarm went off, I
groggily got out of bed and we grabbed the alarm and left the apartment. So,
our alarms are dual for smoke and CO, so we wanted to check which one it was.
(The way you differentiate is by the number of repeating beeps) We realized it
was the Smoke Alarm. But there was no smoke in the air. So, we continued to
call our President and talk to him and he told us that it was just malfunctioning,
so we just needed to get the alarm to stop. Through all the chaos, the barrio
Policeman came, and a bunch of dogs started barking, It was great we couldn't
figure out how to turn off the alarm and we finally just decided to play James
Bond and cut the wires on the first try I disarmed the screeching alarm. We
finally went back to sleep but there is just a small laugh to brighten your
day.
Yesterday was so crazy
we said goodbye to a lot of the members in Actopan and were able to have a
Baptism for Isaac! It was a really cool experience to have him be baptized. In
the night time, we had a family home evening with the bishop and his family,
Emiliano and Rocio, and another family that we hope will soon be sealed in the
temple. We had a really good time and were able to have a great evening and
Goodbye. It was really sad to leave Emiliano, but today I was able to treasure
the sweet moment of having Emiliano pass me the sacrament. This truly is
marvelous, this truly is the work of God.
After the sweet
goodbye, we still had to pack and clean the house. In leaving the families we
remembered that there were 20 or so stuff animals from the previous Elders that
they had somehow accumulated in the house. So, we diced to through them off the
second floor to the children we had just taught below. It was a really fun
experience and filled the children with Joy. It was a great way to pay back
what the ward had done for us!
Today I received
cambios, My new companion is Elder Cevallos he is from Ecuador and is super
awesome, he has three months in the mission and we are serving together in
Pitahayas 2!
Love,
Elder Snow
