Terremoto 7-24-18

The last major earthquake was almost a year ago in September. The earth stopped shaking about 8 months ago. But the hard part is that Satan is now sending spiritual earthquakes to the Ermita stake. We lost Nativitas💀, both Elders had to go home, one for treatment, and the other one for surgery. We have tons of people who just keep getting wrecked by satans power. He seems to be really focusing on this zone right now. But, its all good cause we are still happy cause he is the Diablo and he sucks.

The trick is to stay happy. How do I stay so happy, you might ask? it's easy. I just annoy my companion like I used to annoy my brothers. It is super fun. We also try and record all the wierd sounds we hear out on the mexico streets and we also buy chocolatemilk. Take that, satan. 😈

Hmm... nothing super crazy happened this week. Well, there were some things but I'm not allowed to say anything so yeah nothing happened this week. haha. ha. ha. 

So, I'll just tell you guys about some cool miracles that we have been seeing in Iztacalco. 

-Iztacalco 2 contacted some guy 3 weeks ago named Jesus. They just said hi, and invited him to church. That's it. Well, he showed up. And the thing is, he was homeless. The Bishop in Escuadron helped him find a house, and that means he is in our area and we are going to visit him this week. Oh, and he wants to be baptized. 🏊

- Miguel, the guy we contacted like a month ago? I felt like we should go check and see if he was home. We went and knocked on the door, and he was there! He was so happy to see us! We sang a couple of hymns and invited him to church. He showed up! At the end of the Sunday services, he asked us "So, how do I do this baptism thing?" 🏊

- Irma Garcia was a reference from the Temple. I'm not really sure why she let us come over but she is AWESOME. Oh, and she cries every time we go over. She really likes the church and her daughters are listening too. 🏊🏊🏊

-Brandon is a 10 year old boy who we randomly found one day when we made scones. His grandma is a member and he lives close by, so we walk with him to his Gmas house and sing hymns with him. He loves it! LOVES it! He reallly likes going to church too. We just gotta talk to his mom to see if she will let him get baptized 🏊

- Kike is Maribel's son, he is super cool too and also ironically loves hymns. His family is getting reactivated and we are hoping that he will be baptized soon. lol the only word he knows in English is the F word.... 🏊

- Zuleyma, the miracle mujer just needs to get married. We aren't sure how much time it will take to get all of her legal work done, but she is super freaking ready. 🏊 

There is also juanita, who is great but her knees hurt. Daniel Gonzalez is great and awesome, Carmina failed her tests so she is mad, Brenda is fine, and all is well in Zion. lol. 

- Giovanny is getting baptized this week!!!! 🏊

- Adriana is getting baptized next week!!! 🏊

I heard a great quote from Uchtdorf this week. "All of tomorrow's tragedies can be avoided by following Jesus today!" 

I heard an even better quote from Lemuel (dont ask me why his parents named him that), our Gospel Principles teacher. "Before marraige, you've got to open your eyes! After marraige, you've got to close your eyes a little bit." 

I hope everyone has a great week, please read Alma 34.38-39.
