Martin Carrera - Holding it DOWN in Carrera

Familia MÍA! 

  Well divisones have come and gone and my #1 homegirl (hna woodard) has left, and now I am with Hna Mortenson! She is super cute and from Lehi Utah... she has a voice of an angel and can play the piano way better then me so the ward will love her hahah!!
  
    This week was CRAZY! Well to start out.... we got really sick this last week. I had lost my voice completely and had a super bad cough that just killed but that didn't keep us from not working... well except Thursday hna woodard was bed ridden because she has really bad gastritis and couldn't get out of bed.  I called pres with my no voice and got permission for the zone leaders to come and give us blessings. haha poor elders we looked terrible and I know that when they saw us they were generally scared ahah! But I am perfectly perfect now.. gots lots of meds and I am doing well. Also I had to go to the offices this last week to sign something for my visa and we have to have a signature just like the one we did in our passport and well it took me 30 mins to do it good enough for the secretarios because it has to be perfect haha! #struggle Also we did divisons with Moctezuma and hna beck (mi nieta) came here with me to Carrera and it was fun to get to know her! And then lots of other stuff happened this week we saw MIRCALES! 

   Okay to start off Gibran and Aris my two fav people in the whole world introduced us to Gibrans sister Angeles. She is 22 with 3 little kids and getting separated de su esposo... anyways she was telling us how she has been wanting to talk to us because when Gibran got baptized (he got baptized last august) she saw a ton of change in him and she wanted to be happier like him. Anyways she is a solid and went to all of church on Sunday and LOVED IT! We just love her and tomorrow we have a cita with her. We had a noche de hogar planed (FHE) but she couldn't make it because she was dealing with her ex-man. But we did noche de hogar with Aris and her 3 kids, her mom and she brought two of her nephews and then Angeless' two little girls so it was crazy but fun! I had a bunch of pics of it... but yeah computers in mexico. 

   Also Orfelina is our new golden girl. She came to church last sunday with her cousin and they signed up for comida and that is when we found out Orfe isnt a member. So we started teaching her and have a baptismal date for the 20th of this month. She is in her twenties I think and has 2 little kids... a boy of 6 and a girl of 4 (Victor y Paola). She was taking the missionary lessons like 3 years ago but was living with the kids dad and she didn't separate with him but then he left her 2 years ago. Anyways she loves the capilla and has come two times now! She is someone very prepared!!!! And it is a blessing to work with her!

Carlos is doing ok he told us he would close his tienda this sunday but then when we walked by in the afternoon it was opened... we dont know if we should call him out or not. But we shall pray about it! And Gilberto y patty are doing good they were sick again this sunday so they didnt go... but they are very open to learn... but they are not married so we have lots of work to do! 

I think one of my favorite moments this last week was we heard Aris was sick (the young women's presidente) and she does SO MUCH for us... so we showed up and cleaned her house with her little kids and she tried to clean but we told her just to go sit on her couch and talk to us. She wasn't happy we came but we felt good that we could help her! 

Also highlight of the week. So in socidad de socorro this sunday (RS) we were talking about the world today and how it is so important to be obedient... anyways HNA VALDEZ this crazy little 60 year old red headed women was like We have to be so careful because this week I learned about iluminate and then she did the sign and was talking about how it is a secret combination and that they are all devil worshipers and going on and on and I was laughing so hard because.... remember when my Sunday School Teacher was  talking about the same things. Well I relived that moment here in Mexico and it was so funny!

Also in the comida the other day this kid Braulio that always listenes to m&m while we are at his house was like hnas what are your beliefs in aliens... because I KNOW THEY ARE REAL! and he was trying to show us a youtube video of what convinced him ahaha we told him we couldn't view youtube videos but one day when we are home we will look it up for him. I am Braulios biggest fan... probs because he is always rapping songs and he is like this little gordito 10 year old! 

We have lots of work here in Carrera and I am PUMPED! Mortenson is gonna be a good comp and she has a killer columbian accent because her trainer was from Columbia! But madre y padre, I love all you Jerusalem letter; it sounds so cool and yo y hna Woodard are planning on going when we get home and have money to pay for it!  Love you all stay chido!!
