Dear Fam Bam....
Well this week was crazy, there was so mucho
going on and so many different things we had to do but it was great. We had
divisions this week and Hna. Chavez came to Izcalli, it was fun to get to know
her better and I think if we are ever gonna be comps that would be a blast...
she is super funny and she would help me with my Spanish a lot! haha We also had
interviews with presidente this week and they were really good. I asked him
about the extension thing and he just laughed at me and told me what the
processes is... and if i really want to extend to talk about it in the summer
with him. But he was happy to see that mi hija hna woodford is happy because I guess a lot of the new girls that have come to the mish, a lot of them are
struggling with the whole adjustment and all and are not very happy. So yay I must be doing something right! We also had zone class this week and right now
the baptism numbers are kinda down in the mish and so there is a lot of
incentive to get a lot of baptisms and whatever zone that gets the most
baptisms this month gets a banner thing and says best Zone en the mision
Este.... anyways are zone doesn't like to lose so we are all working super hard
to get our numbers up... we are suppose to baptise two this month... Magali and
Carlos! So hopefully we can win and also being more souls unto Christ... and
win haha because I like winning! But yeah things here in Izcalli are just
great. This week yo y hna woodford we have a goal to teach 100 lessons this
week!!!!! its gonna be hard but we are DETERMINED and if you reach our goal our
district leader is gonna buy us Tortas like really good ones so that is also
nice to have some kind of incentive! But yes we are determined and we also need
to find more investigators... so having a lot of lessons should help us find
more investigators!
Speaking of investigators... Luz and her family are
doing awesome.. but were not able to go to church because they don't live in our
zone or even our mission.... so we need to find a chapel of where they live and
get in contact with the missionaries by her house so we can help her and family
get baptized and stay strong in the church. They all have a baptismal date for
the 4th of November and they are all so good. They were telling us that the
other night this men had robbed a bunch of people right out side their store
and they were about to come into the store but then they didn't... they just
left.... and then the same thing happened the next night and again they didn't
get bothered (they said it was like 10 after we left) but they were just like
Hna´s its because we are praying and doing the right things and god is watching
out for us... and we were just like YES! So they are doing really good and
notice a difference in their lives with the gospel! Also Itzel is doing good but
we need to get her husband to church, we made a calender for them because they
are not doing the little things in their lives... like pray in the night and
morning and FHE and things like that so we made them a calender and drew
symbols for each thing they are suppose to do and that way they can see their
progress and if they start doing the little things every day they will notice a
difference and so will her husband and a miracle will happen! Because Itzel
really needs a miracle in her life and so we are gonna do everything in our
power to help her reach her goal of being baptized and we are gonna try to start
working with her husband!
But I don't know if i have told or not but here in
Izcalli there are like 6 people that have all the lessons, assistance, and
everything.. they go to church but they just won't get baptized... because they
either haven't gotten an answer, lack the faith or are scared... so we are
trying to help them because they know its true they just need to get
baptized... but it is hard knowing what to do so we have been studying and
praying a lot and just trying to be obedient and have the spirit to know what to
do because if you think about it... two 19 year old girls really cant do
anything, but with the spirit and LOTS OF FAITH WE CAN DO ANYTHING! So that is
what we have been working on and I believe are going to start seeing a lot of miracles
here in our little pueblo! But yes this week was great... I learned a lot and
guess what today for p day we actually had time to take a nap.... this is the
1st time EVER that I have had a power nap on a p-day or even in the mish 6
months... haha it was great! But next week we will try to do something exciting
for p-day ... or take a power nap because we will be tired from our 100 lesson
week haha!
Story of the week... there are two particular barachos
(drunks) that hang out side of Luzs store... they were the ones that gave us
the candle but anyways the other night they were there and just wasted and
wanted to talk about God with us and everything and then one of them was
getting mad because we wouldn't let him buy us anything and so we finally gave in
and let him buy us Juice and they were so happy... it was ridiculous and Luz
was like ahh hermanas I am sorry they are crazy and we were all just laughing
because these two men were so wasted... and they keep on rejecting our
invitation to the capilla... but soon we are gonna get them there haha! OH also
today we contacted this old man that was selling newspapers on the side of the
street and he was like Hna uno besito de dios? because he wanted to hug and
kiss us and it was just funny and i told him maybe after i finish my mission
... but yes idk these freaking men here and white girls; too funny! But sorry we
didn't really take pictures this week either... we will be better about it this
week but we did take a selfie of the juice our baracho friend bought us! I hope
you all enjoy your fall break stay safe!!!!!
