Hola!
Alright I have some
really sweet news for you guys. The other day we had a multi-zone conference
here in Juchitan for all the areas and zones. It was really sweet not going to
lie, I loved it. I learned a ton! President did a really good job and he
basically let us ask a bunch of questions about rules and a whole lot of other
things. It really got me excited again about the work. The other cool part
about it was that I was able to see a lot of my friends I have made here in the
mish and also some of my old comps, actually like 5 of them haha it was really
fun to get to talk with them a bit and see how they have been doing. Actually
one of my comps E. Juarez is going to be going home here in a couple more weeks
so thats super weird to me but he seems happy and excited.
But here comes the best
part about it, there was an elder there at the conference that was in my first
area Cosijueza. He came up to my and we started to talk a bit. I asked him how
things went back there for him and asked if he had seen Eddi (my first
convert). He then told me thats hes doing great and IS GOING ON A MISSION! It
pretty sweet and i was really really excited for him. Hes heading to Chilli and
leaves in November. Hes going to make for a sweet missionary and once again Im
super excited for him. I just thought it was super cool when I heard that and
its cool to think how many people he will teach and the lives he will change as
he teaches the people in Chilli. Im grateful that I was able to be a part of
that process.
Also Yodo and Harvy
were confirmed this week which was really good. Like I said their
family/parents are members but less active so it has been really fun to see
them come back to the straight and narrow. Its also cool that they are now
members and one day can go to the temple as a family. It has been fun to see
their progression together as a family. This sunday I also gave another talk in
church. My comp Elder Pack talked about the Book of Mormon and I talked about a
talk that elder Anderson gave called What thinks Christ of me? I feel that it
went well. This week has been pretty crazy here because the 15th was
Independence day here in Mexico so there has been a lot of parties and a lot of
drunks. Also there having their "fair" here for the next week so Im
sure this week will be a little harder in the way that everyone will be out and
about which will make it hard to find our invest. but i guess well get some
contacts out of it. Its still pretty hot out here and we ended up buying a
couple hats a while ago but we dont use they to much because it doesn't really
help and they look ridiculous so we usually just leave them at the house. Were
teaching a really cool guy named Angel right now who has a baptism date set for
for this Saturday so pray for him! Hes had a pretty hard life.
Well thats all i got
for this week, once again I just wanted to let you all know how much I love
you. Im also grateful now for the weather in Idaho haha and Right now i miss
the snow but oh well. I know I have said this before ad Ill probably say it
again but we are so lucky to live where we live and have what we have,
especially the gospel. I know its true and i know it changes people lifes for
the better. I love you all and until next week,
Elder Hope!
