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!

Week 31: February 26 - March 4, 2019 Blessing of the Priesthood


Hey Everybody                                                                                 March 4, 2018

This week has been a blast with Elder Connover! We have been working a fetch ton here in Zacualtipan! It has been a blast! IT is so refreshing to be able to speak English!!

One of the things that I have learned so much about is the power of the priesthood. Much too often we feel as if we need to use the power of heaven for extremely dire situation. Of course, we should use this divine power with respect, but it is something that God has given us to call down the blessings of Heaven.

Our heavenly Father wants to bless and guide us! This is something I have definitely felt, specifically last night when this Sister in our rama was telling us about the difficulties in her life, which include her son abusing her and being murdered, taking care of abandoned grandchildren, and being left by her husband. I felt prompted to offer her the chance to receive a blessing of comfort. In it I truly just feel of God's love for her. It was such a special feeling to receive the words I need to say in another language for her. I knew that as I listened that these words were from God.

God is here for each one of us. Through prayer and the divine gift of the Priesthood, we can hear his plan for us. 

Love you all sorry I couldn’t write much!


Love Elder Snow
