Week #84 - Iguanas en la Iglesia


Hola familia y amigos!

Well this week was pretty good, things have been going by really fast and it’s kind of hard to remember everything, but I’ll try hard to remember. Well so on Tuesday I went on divisions with another elder, Elder Villalobos, he has only a month in the mission. He is from Cali and has Mexican parents, and his comp, who is also a DL, went on divisions in another area to help fix problems that they have over there. I went with him and we had a really good day. He said that he enjoyed it because I gave him an opportunity to teach, something that his comp wasn’t doing very much.  We went to one house where the lady apparently had been feeling bad, but we showed up and taught her a bit about the Psalm of Nephi and she really enjoyed it.  It was just awesome to have the Spirit guiding us to places where we needed to be. It was fun to go there, however I think I got sick from something the cook gave us, but now I’m fine.

Came back to the area and we have a family that seem very interested in the church, and they want one of their daughters to get baptized, however the wife won’t go to church because she has problems with some members, and they don’t really want to get married, but we will work on that.  They have been reading the Book of Mormon and they like it a lot, so hopefully some progress can come from them. We are lacking people that are ready for baptism, and we don’t have many people teaching, but we are trying to get some activities lined up to help the branch here. Other families we have need to get married too, and some seem like they are having marital problems, but I hope that everyone will go to general conference this weekend. 

I am so excited! I love conference and I am excited to learn more from what the prophet and the 12 have to say for us. This week I ate iguana and supposedly raccoon, and they both were really good, haha! At church yesterday and today in another building we found iguanas running around inside. Some kids yesterday grabbed one and killed it so they can eat it later. Everything is going great and I love the work. I am super excited for this weekend, hope everyone else back home is too! Don’t have much time today but I will end it there, have a great week!
