So this week was definitely a tough week because of the fiesta del pueblo (Mexico town celebration) - like the entire city of Juchitan has a party the whole month of may so there's usually not very many people in the homes. But thank goodness the party is almost over!! Anyways, despite the fact that it was a tough week, we as a mission and companionship have been looking for MIRACLES in our every day lives here - and my goodness, we sure have seen them!!
So like I said, this week was super, super slow. We had many appointments planned out, and we went house to house realizing that NOBODY was home. But we didn't give up. We kept looking and looking for more and more people to teach. We ended up having some really awesome lessons with a few of our investigators!! We put a few baptismal dates as well as we were super excited! As you can see, that is DEFINITELY a MIRACLE, especial here in Juchitan during the fiestas!!
So during the week we invited EVERYONE that we could possibly invite to go to church. Not many of our investigators made it. We just had three and we had invited probably a solid ten people. So we were pretty down about that. But just to show that miracles DO EXIST, we got a call from our Mission President and he told us that in one of the areas - Union Hidalgo - they had just taken out the missionaries, but he told us that a young kid was ready to be baptized! So we went and visited him immediately after he called us and he will be baptized next week!! Goodness, miracles sure do exist, that is for sure!!!!
I love you guys all so dang much. I know that this is the ONLY true church - The Church of JESUS CHRIST! I know that the Book of Mormon has POWER to CHANGE the lives of those around us, but more importantly to CHANGE OUR LIVES!! I hope you all have such an amazing week and that you can all see MIRACLES in your lives this week!!
