Izcalli - Holla

Hey there fam! 

Sounds like you guys are all good and enjoying life and all that jazz! This week was crazy there was so mucho work to do and man I am tired but that's okay because we are working our hardest! We had alot of people to see and lots of contacting to do to find 15 famalies. So we took the map of our area and we divided it into 17 parts and assigned a number for every part or colonia as they call it here... anyways what we have been doing when we don't have scheduled teaching appts is we pray in the morning first personally and ASK with all our HEARTS!!!!! Where in the world heavenly father wants us to go and contact that day in order to find a family. And then we take all the number we felt impressed to write down we tell each other and then we do it again... and then we talk about our number pick like 3 or 5 that really stuck out to us and then we pray together as a companionship and we choose 1 or 2 numbers (areas) to contact in for like an 1 our 2 depending on how much free time we have. Anyways so this week we were able to do that twice because we had no appts scheduled and the 1st day we did it and was amazing like we found this guys named Miguel Angel and we were just talking to him outside of his house and then it rained like not even a second and he said AHHHH its raining you guys are gonna get sick if we were out here here come inside we can talk and you can meet my family........................................ we were both like YESSSS! so we went in taught a little bit of the restoration and taught him the importance of prayer and how we should pray and then he prayed and we set up a cita.... and yeah milagro! It was really cool and so yeah that happened this week which was good... and then we went to the CV with Isabel and Augustine and they want to get married!!!! Now we just need to help them find the money because they are really really poor and its 600 pesos (which is really cheap but still 600 pesos they don't have) But we are way excited for them. Isabel is doing so well and she got her answer and knows the church is true. She had a dream and in the dream there was a bunch of different churches and each time she would try to enter one it would not feel right and then she would go to a different one and then when she walked into the capilla she said she felt something like she has never felt before and she KNOWS the church is true and loves everything about it! Ah man we love her. At the CV the pics that I always forward to you mom, well the investigadores can get those printed out there in the CV for GRATIS (free) anyways so they got their pic and the next day we went over for our cita and there was our pic from the CV framed sitting on top of their TV .... my heart melted. Me and hna woodford were like #blessed jajaj we love Isabel and Augustine is doing better. At first he was always like NO hnas I cant go on Sunday ... more like I won't go almost. But he really loved the CV and felt the spirit and this Sunday he is commited and we have already worked everything out to were he can go just for the sacrament and then yeah. He better not bail on us... we wont let him. 

   hmmm what else happened this week.... CARLOS PASSED HIS BAPTISMAL INTERVIEW! I think I have explained the first time we met Carlos we thought he was drunk... but he really wasn't he is just slow. Well we have taught him the restoration SO MANY TIMES! Because he doesn't remember and he learns like a child but we helped him with everything, he understands, he is reading everyday in the book of Mormon and now he is gonna get baptized this week and he is excited and we are excited for him. I don't think i have ever met someone that needs the holy ghost more in their life... I feel like once he receives it he is gonna progress alot! 

what we do when we get locked in the gated areas... 

wait and pray for someone to come 

Also this week Luz y Odylis.... hmm well we had just finished a really spiritual lesson like the spirit was so strong and we had shared how the gospel really does bless famailes and it was really powerful and Luz was like crying. But then after we prayed they were like hnas we have a question we heard that the bishop and elders  rape the children and that's why we won't  go we are afraid....... and we were like .................... ummmmmmm...................... WHAT WHO TOLD YOU THIS BLASPHEMY? So we explained everything and they were still a little unsure but we told them they just need to pray about everything and really ask God if this is what he wants for them. So we saw them last night and they were like hnas we know what we heard was not true this church wouldn't do that... so yay we were worried there. Now everything is good and today is Odylis birthday and we are taking her a cake and everything and gonna try to make her life a little more happy! There is a lot of work here and I can't believe this cycle is half way done, I think hna woodford might train and that I might have to leave Izcalli in 3 weeks... I don't want to. But I think pres would want her to train because she is one of the few hijas that is actually happy in the mish so yeah we will see. I hope I can stay till January but we will see. Oh also guess what I turn 20 in like 3 and a half weeks CRAZY! 

Also Mom to answer yours questions..(I asked her if she liked the country better then the city);  I like it a lot here.. the people here are just a little bit more happy and not as rushed! Also because there is pretty hills to look at when we are walking around and everything! And last p-day we had a zone activity, so we played soccer and volleyball and ate food and yeah nothing to crazy! Today we had to go find a notary because hna woodford needs to release the title of her car that is already sold.. haha but she has to have original documents of everything and the notery here in Mexico is 2000 pesos! #ripoff haha so now she needs to figure out what to do with her car. I am happy and I am blessed to be here in the mish! I hope you are all doing good and everything! I will talk to you guys next week!
