I cant believe it is monday once again! this week flew by! I love this work and i love the people here in chilpancingo! I could not be happier! And my Companion is wonderful and loving and everything i could hope for in a companion and more!
This week was full of miricles and tender mercies. So the other night we had about an hour left to be out and only one contact.. it was a rough day.. but then in the combi on the way home we were able to contact five people!! and we taught a lesson! then when we were almost to our house with only 6 contacts we saw a FAMILY on our street!! and we talked with them and they loved us! and want us to come teach them! 5 people were in that family!! and yesterday again we had a only a few contacts and we were about to go home and hermana Lopez said okay we are going to find a family... and literaly a second later we turned around and saw a huge family walking up the street! i amost cried i couldnt believe it! it was amazing! and the next day at church on of the people from the combi came! the lord takes care of his missionaries! and he wants us to be contacting at least 10 people a day! and more! it is amazing. we find new people everyday. it is a bit overwhelming because we already have so many people to teach but im never goning to complain about having "Too many" investigators! there is soooo much work to be done here in chilpancingo centro and i love it!!
This week i also learned (and will continue to learn) that work is the best medicine! and this is the BEST work.
AHHHHH i cant believe i am in mexico... in an internet cafe listening to carrie underwood hhaha oh the life i live! okay so the little vans we ride in everywhere (combi's) are my favorite!!! they are so crazy and always full of people and i love it. i love sitting in the front corner seat and leaning out the window and just thinking "you are in mexico!" sharing the gospel. life is so so sweet.
so we have 25 new investigators from this past week.... i think i might die. but in a good way. and then we have like 50 old investigators in our area book plus many many more! we always have people to tach and find and we spend a lot of time walking up dirt hills finding homes. the streets dont always have names here and they almost never have a sign with its name so we always ask people! but it is fun! and crazy!
food wide i havent had anything too crazy or too hot. the members never believe me when i say i like spicey food. but i do!! haha and here the hotter it is the better!
So the general womens conference was so cool! and i understood almost all of it but i realized that i just miss the real voices! especially when pres. Erying spoke! that was so hard... but they might have it in english this weekend so pray for me!!! also it was so hard to sit there and think about mom watching it and not being there with her!! but its all worth it!
the people here are amazing i wish you could meet them all! i love love love the bishops amily and The bishops Wife is like our mom here! she is the best. she always points at me and then i say "YO PUEDO" and she makes me say it like 5 times hahaha. she is also making me learn how to whistle! and i am making progress! hahaha the little things here are such treasures.
I love it!! if there was one thing i could have in the future... like in a package possibly... (mom and dad) it would be a mini english hymn book. i meant to buy one in the mtc but i forgot! but it would be cool to have one but its not needed! Oh and dad i would love a post card! and you send it to the mission office! we get mail pretty frequently cuz the one leaders travel a lot. but i havent gotten any mail yet but its okay! today when we were all playing volley ball together my comp and i left while most people were still there and we went to go eat and i got a phone call and it was one of our sisters and she was like "hey the zone leaders need to talk to you come back" she didnt know why so i was worried i did something wrong... so i go back and then i see Sister Gardener!!! (the wife of the 1st mission pres here!) and i freaked out and ran and gave her a big hug and all the missionaries laughed! they all asked me if they were family and i said no just friends! but it was so cool to see someone from home!! they were so happy they got to see me to! they said they prayed they would get to see me! they are soo sweet! o mom dont worry i have lots of motherly love here in mexico! but you are still my favorite!
well lots happens here everyday but i dont know what else to talk about!! just that i love you all so much!!
Nos Vamos!
Mucho amor
