WEEK 55: AND THEN HE KISSED ME

Please dont freak out from the title.... well yeah it was weird. BUT STAY TUNED.

PONDERIZING SCRIPTURES: 2 Nephi 2:2,24-25, D&C 122:7, Isaiah 35:3-10, Isaiah 38:16-17, D&C 1, 2:2, 3:2-4,9-10,16,4, Isaiah 40:10-11,28-31, Isaiah 43:7-13, D&C 5, 6, 7:8, 1 Corinthians 15:51-55,57, Isaiah 45:22, D&C 9:6-8,13-14, 10:4-5,64-70, 11:6-10,12-22,24-30, 12:7-9, Joshua 3:5,.... a lot from Jeremiah and D&C.

TUESDAY: A LOT of walking getting to know the area led by my dear companion who definitely is a consuelo to me. Hah. Found two news who are sweet angels named Alejandra and Aime. Sincerely they have a huge desire to follow Christ and both accepted to be baptized the 15th of October!

WEDNESDAY: District meeting was super weird... in total there are 6 sister missionaries... way different than the 12 that were in Nealtican. Lets just say Im also adjusting to the city. I am SO awkward. With so many cars and restaurants and malls and stores and Dominos and subway... Im back to civilization after a year in pure little towns. Insane. BUT the miracle of it all is that in the craziness of the street, felt the need to talk to two guys walking towards us. We contacted them in which they accepted us to go and meet their five friends.... we had a lesson and recieved 7 news! The worst part.... well a drunk guy interrupted us and demanded to know where I came from... gave me his respects... grabbed my hand and BOOM kissed me. Our seven news went nuts about to fight the drunk and defending me like world war 3 was about to start. BUT other miracle. Angeles, a blind investigator who the missionaries have been teaching for YEARS had a lesson with us. We asked her why she never accepted to be baptized and after listening and sincerely relying on the spirit and testifying with all the love WE FOUND THE PROBLEM. SHe doesnt feel like anyone understands her and are just pushing her to do everything. And now we are learning braile and we blind ourselves during the lessons and read the scriptures through brail. She thinks its amazing and loves it and truly feels our concern to help her and in our last lesson began to cry and FOR THE FIRST TIME accepted to be baptized in October! AGHHHHH SO HAPPY.

THURSDAY: HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM and Aunt Tami! Made a huge game plan to save and resuce this area. Because literally its going down the drain. Went and contacted trying to find less actives and found 6 news through that. So that works for sure. There also is a recent convert in our area that sells cake and bread and gives it to us for free and thanks to getting to know him better, he invited us to know 4 students that live in his house and they all want to learn more. Also had an amazing lesson with a recent investigator my companion found last week who hates smoking and wants to drop it and be baptized. Had a lesson with him in institute and he STAYED after we left for a whole lesson on the Atonement. He also wants to be baptized on October 15th.

FRIDAY: Walked a TON looking for old investigator to clean up the area book and the Lord obviously knows where we need to be in every moment because... we witnessed a poor man get hit by a car and all the people that saw came together to help in every way. The people seemed impressed by our desire to help and thanks to us carrying a map, we were able to find his house super fast and notify family so he could be taken to the hospital as fast as possible. And we got 8 new friends out of the incident who welcomed us to pass by whenever. Lord works in mysterious ways. OF what we know right now, he is in good care. David. Pray for him. Also went to really gain confidence with the family of bishop because it seems that there is no relationship between him and the ward... so were fixing that.

SATURDAY: Super crazy day that was just full of us helping the sister training leaders move into their house. It was so fun living with them for a week and I love them so much. SERVICE IS THE BEST.

SUNDAY: Okay, our ward is literally like BYU YSA. Our area is completely on campus of PUebla UNiversity (BUAP) and so all the YSA come to our ward... super weird. And our church is just like the BYU building for institute. FLASHBACK to college. GAve a talk in church on diligence and enduring to the end because our ward is so DEAD. So we practically pulled the presidents of every organization by the ears into correlation and organized two ward activities, coorelation meeting every Sunday, ward council every Sunday, ward missionaries, printed 7 lists of the ward, ward family night every two weeks, and sent around a list of who can accompany us in lessons and when. GOT WORK DONE with the ward that day. Hoping it maintains. Pray for us.

I LOVE MY NEW AREA AND THE PEOPLE. A BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO KATELYN AND AARON AND BABY COOPER. Wish I could be there. Heres some pictures from the week.
