Dear Family how is life?
| Yo y Hna Segura |
So I am still in Valle and very happy to
still be here because its a great place with A TON OF WORK! So we spent more
time here in Valle this week and let me tell you it kinda breaks my heart. We
went and visited this older women who is less active and she just cried to have
someone from the church in her house. It's because there really hasn't been
missionary's there for like a year and once the missionaries left; the ward kinda
ignored the other part or the poor part of the ward and these poor people
stopped coming because nobody cared about them. We have met so many people
that just need a visit or two and they will come back to the ward. A lot of people were
mad about the ward ignoring their side and they started going to a different
church building in a different stake and its just sad sad sad. BUT its okay
because now we are working hard there getting to know everyone and trying to
help them come back.
There is an awesome family there who are both ex
missionaries and they have two little kids and they have less than a year
living there and they said it was so sad when they saw what was going on in the
ward and they have been doing visits trying to help the ward. They are
awesome and they gave us A TON OF REFERENCES! They just love the missionary work and
its awesome that they can help us and we can activate the ward together.
Also I feel like we are now teaching every part member
family in the ward.. haha okay not all of them but we are teaching a ton of
men who are not members but their kids and wives are and three of the husbands/fathers came to church
on Sunday! YAY of course one of them was being dumb and was whining that he
wouldn't have time to eat breakfast so we went and made crepas for them and then
they drove with us to church. Also we had a ward activity on Saturday and it was
great. It was a talent show and so me and hna Saylor sang an arrangement of like
4 hymns about missionary work using cups like in pitch perfect and everyone
thought it was cool. There was some cool talents from the ward and the cutest
girl from Valle (that lives in the poor part) did a dance solo it was like
jazz funk and it was so good and she is so cute and I was so happy to see her
dance!!!
Oh also we haven't had a baptism this month so we decided to
show our faith and announce that we are having one next Sunday because we
believe we will find someone in a week and do everything we can to find them!!!
So yeah I´ll keep ya updated on that! Life is just great and I know this
cycle is going to be a cycle of MILAGROS!
Oh also you wanna hear something cool, Bonnie Oscarson is in
Mexico and she is having this like council thing by the temple with 12 people
and presidente invited me and hna segura to come and be a part of the
council... there will be four other hermanas there too... so that is SUPER SUPER
COOL!
I just gotta say I am so blessed to be able to be serving
here in Mexico! I love this place and these people so much and thinking about
leaving them makes me emotional so I don't haha and I am just so so blessed to
be here in the service of the Lord. I have learned so much and I am excited to
see what this cycle holds in store!!!! Beto and Gabi

too!!!! I am so excited and I love these people so so so so so mucho.. but i
