Moctezuma - Esta Semana

Hola Familia! Esta semana fue muy bien! Tuvimos mucho trabajo y muchas personas a ver!

First of all feliz cumpleaños Jared! 

On Tuesday, we had clase de zona and the zone leaders started a competition and said whoever passed out the most book of Mormons and got the most baptismal dates this week they would make us breakfast before dististic class the next tuesday...and me and Rhoten being as competitive as we are; went to town and placed 39 book of Mormons from Tuesday to Sunday and had some really cool experiences. Of course we were lead by the spirit when placing all the BOM´s we weren't just handing them out without teaching about them so it was cool and we found a lot of really cool people that we were gonna go back to teach this week so that is cool! And we won the competition #holla #wecantstop,  Also Alisson got confirmed this Sunday so that was good! The coolest thing about her baptism is we fasted that it would be a really spiritual experience so her family that went who are not members could feel the spirit. So anyways that Monday after we went to go see Alisson and she wasn't there but her step sister was and she wanted the lessons because she liked how she felt at the baptism and now she has a baptismal date for July 12! She is 13 and just as cute as Alisson and super smart and she will be good. Her name is Gaby. Also we are teaching Alisson's half sister too, her name is Ingrid she is 16. She is really smart but kinda rebellious so we are trying to figure out how to better connect with her but we think if we just give her a lot of attention and be good friends and good examples she will turn around! Also we are starting to teach classes of english this saturday so I will tell you how that goes. A lot of people have been asking us to teach some so we figured might as well try it and see if we can get a good amount of investigators to go! 

  One of the best parts of this week was Nacho finally decided he wanted to get baptized and him and his girlfriend Alma are gonna get married next week! He his also working on quitting smoking but he has a strong testimony and he know´s its true!! So hopefully we will have some good pics from their wedding next week! Also this week we had a noche de cine in the chapel and it went pretty good. We were gonna watch "Meet the Mormons" because familia Galicia (who we live under) has the DVD but they went to Merida this week because Issac their son was gonna propose to his novia (an old sister missionary from here, she actually left the transfer I got her lol its a crazy story ask me in a year and a half to tell you the whole story because I don't have time) and they took the movie with them because they forgot about the noche de cine this Saturday! But its all good we just watched the Joseph Smith movie instead. and It was really good because an hour before we taught the resturacion to one of our new families of investigators and they all came to the cine so it was good that they just learned about Joseph Smith and then watched the movie about him an hour later. So yeah it worked out better. 

  Yesterday we went to the CV (visitor center) with Jorge y Ana and the niños and it was really good.



The CV is super cool and really high tech here so it is a nice Sunday activity and there are so so so many missionaries there on Sunday nights. So that is fun because sometimes we see missionaries from our mish! Oh also we heard, don't know if this is true or not, but we heard that all the Hermanas will be pulled out of their areas for the temple open house and we will be working it from 9 am to 9 pm so we will see if that really happens. Me and Rohten are anxious to hear what really is gonna go down. And yes she convinced her family to let her stay so she will extend so she can work the first couple days of the open house. 

  Mexico is great and there is A TON of work to do here but I love it and I love being busy. I hope you guys all have fun in Jackson it sounds like its gonna be crazy with everyone leaving and coming and yeah. And don't worry mom I am not bummed with your vacations just don't go to Europe okay! jaja But how can I be bummed when I am beautiful crazy Mexico eating juicy mangoes and teaching the gospel #blessed!  Also next week is transfers so I won't write till Wednesday. Also just to give you a better idea of where the heck I am in Mexico city; we are right next like so so close to the air port and only like 10 15 minutes away from the temple. WE are like literally almost at the bottom boundary of the mission. So its kinda noisy with all the airplanes and sometimes they are really really close but Moctezuma is pretty sweet!!! This morning when we were hanging up our laundry I took a pic of our view from the roof.


Have fun in Jackson and just know that I love you all so much! I hope you all have a good safe summer...man if you guys only knew how nice it is outside here...when people are like, "Sisters isn't it so hot" and then I tell them I am from AZ they are like oh jajaja never mind this is nothing for you....because it really isn't bad its perfect. Anyways I love you all have a good week!!!

This is our temple chart I had to draw for our Ward family history goal
of taking 200 names to the temple when it opens!
 




Love Hermana Heywood
