Hi 3-12-18

Well, a quick email cause I started writing pages in my letter to President and forgot to write my weekly email here.

This week we are baptizing Jhadys, and it will be awesome. I was regalado a ukelele (thanks Elder Benson) so I'll get my first live concert perfomance chance this Saturday singing in her baptism. All are welcome to come. 

We also found Edith and Christofer this week, they came out of nowhere and really want to be baptized but for moving and other reasons they never could get baptized. Until now. And they are awesome. It's like teaching someone who already knows all the answers cause they've already received the visits from the missionaries! Woo! Christofer is the best. That 10 year old has a TESTIMONY. wow. 

We are also working with Ana, I contacted her mom and we met her and she had that thing where they revert to an earlier age in their brain development or something like that but she is regaining her abliity again and she wants to be baptized. Super cool stuff honestly. She has glasses like Harry Potter haha

We are also teaching Elias, a 12 year old we found one day. His parents said he would be lazy and wouldn't want anything and this week he did the opposite. He went to the mall on saturday and bought new shoes, a suit, a shirt, tie, and even a pocket square and showed up glistening like Edward from Twilight. it was so cool. he is gonna get baptized too in March. 

Antonia and Diana said they would be baptized! but then didnt come to church so ill work on that. 

But the biggest miracle is Mireya. She is the daughter of the Relief Society President who has been a member for 6 years. For 6 years she has said no, no, no to the missionaries and to the Gospel. She was rude, angry, and a real jerk to me haha. But this time I wouldn't take no for an answer and we started teaching her over 2 months ago. And this last week she came to church, when we visited her she was smiling, she read the Book of Mormon and accepted to be baptized. She just didn't accept a specific date. But the HUGE change that I've seen in her shows how powerful the teachings of Jesus Christ are!!!! I'm so happy for her. 

We had a zone conference which was awesome too

hmm what else happened.... 

-I ate subway. That was amazing. 

-I ate tongue tacos too. They weren't that bad until I looked at them and saw the cow taste buds haha. ew. 

-I went to Santo Tomas Ajusco on comp exchanges and its like UTAH THERE ARE MOUNTAINS WOW 

-I went to a Zone Conference and had chicken salad like a true red white and blue blooded american

-I cooked carne asade on an open fire with my bare hands, and then cut a lime in half with a massive axe mid-air. im such a lumberjack

-I saw an Audi R8 just casually strolling down the street in my dirt poor neighborhood. no respect for the poor i guess 

-I got this fork, but like the two side prongs are tiny and the one in the middle is giant and its for stabbing mangos i think

-thats it

sorry for a short email but i love you all and i hope you have a great day and a great week! 

Mosiah 3:19 - 3 Nephi 9:22 - 3 Nephi 11:38. Substitute the word 'baptism' for 'sacrament', because after all, thats what the sacrament is. its a mini baptism.
