Martin Carrera - Hola, Hola, Hola

As for this week... we honestly were just running around like crazy with lots to do! First of all we did divisons twice this week so literally we had no time to rest at night or even a lot of time to do our studies because is was CRAZY! But good... I always learn a lot from the other hermanas in the mish! One day hna woodard had a meeting so me and another hna came back to Carrera to work and I think she was kinda shocked at how ugly it is here because her area is basically the states haha so that was fun to see her reaction. Then the next day we had divisons and woodard went to olivos and I stayed here and again and hna houghton came! WE had fun together she was the one hna i got lost with a couple months ago so we had some laughs from that. The other thing this week was we were just looking alot for nuevos and we have been searching a lot for people so we can teach more and more. Also i have GRIPA! haha its just a cold... but here in Mexico having a cold (GRIPA) is life or death... if you have gripa you might as well stay in the house and not leave for a week so everyone freaks out and tells me i need to go rest and take meds till its goes away.... but its all good I am just poppin pills and the work can still progress so there's that!

  Love all the pics, Chris looks like he had fun in the mini mish! Did he go with all 3 of those elders or what? 

As for our people here in Carrera all is well! I will start off with Louis and Carmen they are the Christians that want to baptize us... we told them to read the BOM and then call us... well they called us for another cita.. we tried to make it at the church... they said no... so we had to meet in the park. Anyways so we get there and we were like so what did you read... did you pray about it... and yeah. This is what they said. "Well we didn't read because we didn't know where to start... would it be better in the start middle or finish". ( When they said this... we were not having it because like any human does you start a book at the beginning) so then they were telling us how they wanted to talk to us because we have a light in our eyes but that light can come from Satan and that they needed to help us. Also the answer they got of the book of Mormon was a couple scripture references of false profetas and so and so... so it was obvious they didn't read. Then he was telling us how he read the bible of Satan and the word Mormon was in the book and we were like well ya know Satan is the father of all lies and if you really believe this book is of God then why did you want to meet with us. So basically they really just wanted to baptize two Mormon girls in some random Christian church and we told then we would ask God if it is something we should do and we left them with our testimony of the book of Mormon and yeah that's really all we could do... because their hearts were not open to learning or receiving an answer. They were like well its fine if you don't want to be converted into our church at least we planted the seeds in you... lol  Everyone else is good! WE have been getting alot of references for people that live in the sketchy parts of the area so we have been asking the jovenes to come with us because we cant go alone! Lots to do here and the pope is coming this weekend so we have to leave again.... we don't know when or where we are going but we just know its gonna be CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But that is mas o menos todo!!!!! I hope you all have a good week love you all lots and thanks for the pics madre y katie!

con amor,
