Week 86 (Chihuahua, Mexico)

We had a good last week. Yesterday, Rubi and her daughter were able to get confirmed. We were not able to baptize the daughter because Rubi and Perla have been sick this last week so we haven’t been able to visit. This week we are going to do what we can to get the sister and the grandma baptized. This last week we baptized a kid from our area who has been going to church forever but never got baptized because he lives with his aunt and his aunt was afraid that if she baptized the mom would take her kid back or get mad or something. But he ended up getting baptized this last week out of nowhere just a miracle baptism. 

Paul is progressing really well. He is in Alma 15 or 16. He came to church last week and liked it a lot. We weren’t able to pass by with him last week because of his work and school and he canceled meeting on Saturday but we have an appointment for tonight at 8. We are going to invite him to get baptized again and see what he thinks about this week. We invited him in the first visit but he wasn’t so sure, and we will see how it goes tonight. 

Hey thanks for the package. I got it this last week. Everyone wants the tie you sent, ha-ha.

Week 85 (Chihuahua, Mexico)

Week 84 (Chihuahua, Mexico)

Yesterday, some members showed a bit of the history channels episode on the Roots of the Faith Mormonism.  In the show, they had a bit on the MTC, and they interviewed an MTC teacher, and the teacher that they interviewed taught me and my companion when we were in the MTC. 

Ruby Isabel and Esmeralda have been out of town they should have gotten back last night. But we haven’t seen them for a while. But we are going to see what we can do to get them baptized this week maybe after one of the sessions of conference. 

Not much to share about this week, it was a pretty slow week everyone was out on vacation.  There weren’t many people out in the street nor a lot of people at home to visit. The only thing we really got done was a lot of walking.
