Haha
alright well, basically, we are poor...that´s what i put in the subject line,
and then I said that I didn´t know what else to say haha but yeah. We basically
have no money. We have a tiny bit of money....and it has to last us for like
two more weeks or something like that. But we can make it! We have faith! We
just need to be careful how we use it :) but yeah, that is basically the only
"exciting" thing that is happening right now....
Well,
actually there is something else that is actually pretty exciting :) We have
two people with baptismal dates! Their names are Armando (who is the husband of
a lady who just got baptized like 6 months ago named Julia) and Areli (who is
the wife a less active member) :) They both have dates for the 15th of August
:) We are also planning on having a noche blanca (white night) on this day as a
district so we are hoping to have a ton of baptisms for this night :)
Armando
is super great and he is really ready and all but he feels like he isn´t ready
because he knows that this is an important decision and he doesn´t want to sin
after he has made this covenant with God. We are trying to explain the atonment
really well so that he can understand that Christ came to make us perfect through
repentance in His name, and that He doesn´t expect us to be perfect before
choosing to follow Him, it is little by little, and with His help. But yeah, we
are working with him on that so that he feels ready and prepared and excited
for this day :) Areli needs to get married and we made plans with them and got
them all excited and all that :) But they didn´t come to church this week... :(
Armando came :) and also another one of our investigators came who wants to be
baptized :) and he showed us by action that it is true because he came all by
himself to church on sunday :) We are going to visit him this week and put a
date with him as well :) Oh yeah, his name in Heber :)
Oh
dang... I forgot to tell you guys...my comp totally fell the other day...we were
in the bus and it was night time and almost time to be in the house (i know,
these are always the circumstances for the brutal falls right?) ;) haha but
yeah so we got off the bus and started running down our street to make it to
our house on time and our road is actually like a dirt road with rocks and
everything..I know, pretty nice right? So, basically, her ankle started hurting
her and I heard that her steps didn´t sound even or normal so i turned around
right in time to see her falling forward....then she hit the ground and
everything was covered in dust! Her shoes her clothes, her bag...she
scrapped/scraped (i sadly don´t remember how to spell the word that I want but
yáll know what I want to say haha) up her knee and cut open a part of her shin...I
felt horrible...this is third major incident that has happened with me being
present... (my own fall, in which I was obviously present ;), the fall of my
daughter, and now hna. juncá). Haha, I can´t believe it.... the only good thing
is that she fell at the beginning of the transfer and not at the end, close to
when she goes home. Her mom would not be very happy.... So yeah, that was
pretty awesome. ;) The good thing is is that she is tough :) and I didnt put
alcohol on her like my mom did to me ;)
Oh
yeah, something small...but a kid (a member) gave me a figurine of peppa pig :)
haha, it´s on my study desk :)
That
is basically I got this week :) I don´t have more pics this week, but I sent
you all a ton the week before so I figure that will be sufficient for now :)
hope all is well at home and that you are enjoying your summer :) it´s
really hot here in tehuacan...not compared to a lot of other places, but it´s
the hottest area i have been to in my mission...
I
just want to share a little bit of my testimony with you guys to end. I know
that this is the true and everlasting church of our Savior, Jesus Christ. I
know that the Book of Mormon is true and that it was translated by the power of
God through a willing and worthy servant, Joseph Smith. I know that it contains
the fullness of the gospel and all the answers to any question we will ever
have. I know that every event that is written in that book truly happened and
that it was written and later translated for US in these latter days to help us
become stronger disciples of Christ who are truly converted so that we can
withstand all the whirlwinds and temptations that come our way. I know that
President Thomas S Monson is a true and living prophet that guides us in these
days and that he speaks with the Savior to direct the work of God here on
earth. I know this gospel is true, pure and perfect and I am striving each day
to truly live it. I hope that you all have a great week and that you keep doing
the small and simple things that will lead you in the paths of righteousness
until you reach eternal life. I love you all!
Love
always,
Hermana
