Dear Fam!
This week was so great! It was full of lots of meetings and
going to the offices but all good things. Some how we made time to go and find
a lot of really cool people. So to describe my new area... it is super fresa
(chilango talk para Parker) super nice and kind rich... though if you saw all
the houses that are here; in the states you would think ayyy ghetto or sketchy but here its
like ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh dang this place is nice. The ward is AMAZING! I
have never seen a ward so converted to the gospel everyone here shares the
gospel and everyone is always bringing friends to church so it awesome! For
example this week we actually got references from the members when we asked
them ... that doesn't happen here in other areas... its usually references of menos activos so
yeah bit of a change. The ward is about 100 people or maybe more and so for me
that is like massive because I have been in a ward of 35 for the last six months.
And Hna Saylor is quite the character! haha She is from Wyoming ... Lander or
something and is a runner she loves to run, so we run in a park by our house in
the morning. She is always happy and she basically has plans of saving the world. She
is really into non profit stuff and has traveled the world! She also loves Jimmy Fallon and Broadway so we get along really really well! We just laugh
most of the time!
Where I live:
Okay now about the people!!!
There is an amazing family here that the hnas have
been teaching for a while... the son got baptized a month ago and yesterday he
passed the sacrament and bore his testimony of how he wants to go on a
mission! Super awesome and his mom is amazing her name is Silvia... I guess people
named Silvia just are amazing in general! She loves everything about the church
and wants to be baptized so badly BUT you remember how when I was in Ecatepec
like 6 months ago and how EVERYONE needs to get married welll yeah that's the
problem. Silvia wants it but her husband is still married to another women and
he needs to get divorced and married to Silvia but his wife doesn't want to get
divorced even though she has several children with several men... so that is
the prob.. he also wants the church but we are stuck in that issue right now! Sylvia is awesome and pays tithing and feeds the missionaries, she just needs to
be baptized and she was telling us she might kick her husband out so she can be
baptized... but we ague and tell her, "No hna families are forever lets work this
out! "

Then okay biggest miracle EVER! So idk if you all remember
my life in Izcalli but we taught this man named BETO well he had a laundromat and we would teach him there and he lived in Valle so the hnas in Valle
would tell us if he went to church... well after I left he kinda stopped going
BUT yesterday he walked into the capilla and I was like
HERMANO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and he was like no manches hna que haces aquí and he
came fasting because he is ready for the gospel in his life. So he stayed for
all of church and we went and visited him last night and we also taught his wife
and daughter and they said they are willing to learn and see what is like! We
were soooo happy and I was soooo happy so see him again! The nice thing is Beto
and I are already buds so I was like hno ya sabe es su tiempo and he was like
yes hna asi es sop yayyyyy!
