HEY! HAPPY 4TH OF JULY! I hope you did very american things yesterday. I hung up my American flag tie and we sung the national anthem. Thats pretty much it cause we couldnt find any fireworks to light off.
Well this week was fun, it feels like it's been a month and I can't remember what did and didn't happen. I don't know if I already talked about Zuleyma, but she is definitely a miracle that fell from the sky. We had a long, hard day of contacts and looking for EVERYONE on earth hahaha, literally everyone. We were walking home at like, 8:58pm close to the house when Elder Vincent's phone rung. It was a missionary from the Mexico City Southeast mission! He explained that he had been teaching Zuleyma the past 5 months because she worked outside of their house. She accepted the Gospel and wanted to be baptized on Saturday! 😱💀💀 DID A BAPTISM JUST FALL FROM THE SKY? Yes. Yes it did. She just needs to get divorced but there are free lawyers who can do that for her in a week. She will be baptized soon 🙂
Then we went with Carmina, who I think I talked about last week? Maybe not. She lives right next to like 40 members haha and we have never seen her before. She was going through some hard times and felt like she needed to go to the giant white mormon building (lol) and they sent us right to her door. She is so prepared! She asked us in the middle of the lesson
"What do I need to do to deserve a baptism?"
"Is baptism something you want to do, Carmina?" said my companion
"Yes, and soon."
She will be baptized soon 🙂
Giovanny will be baptized at the end of this month, and Adriana too. Mariana is getting baptized this Saturday! 🙂🎊🎉🎈🎆
We are still visiting Juanita and Erik and Maribel and Beto and lots of other awesome people who will probably get baptized soon 🙂
Fun story: We have been visiting Brenda, a golden 19 year old contact that I made last month. We have been teaching little by little and gained her confidence, so she invited us inside to teach her finally! During the first lesson, my companion was saying the First Vision of Joseph Smith when Brenda's baby, Valentina, got fussy. I really didn't want her baby to interfere with the spirit so I gave her my finger to play with. And she bit down.Hard. 😓😰The spirit was so strong for Brenda, she was listening so intently to the First Vision that I couldn't scream in pain and it hurt so bad! But the good news is that Brenda didn't even notice and the spirit could testify to her that Joseph Smith was a prophet, at the cost of my finger.
Carlos, a guy that some other missionaries contacted like 8 months ago was visiting with us yesterday. He is super good, he reads the Book of Mormon every day! My companion was trying to make conversation and said "Hey, what plant is that over there? It looks just like a Marijuana plant lol"
"It is a marijuana plant, I have years smoking marijuana"
OH YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN MY COMPANIONS FACE 😂😂😂😂😂
it really was a marijuana plant haha
We got to meet Presidente Casillas this week! HE IS AWESOME. He is from Tijuana and has blue eyes. Super awesome and loving. We met him on Sunday in a special Stake Presidency meeting, on Monday in MLC and on Tuesday in his first Zone Conference. He really is the best! We had Zone conference on Tuesday, that is why I am writing today and not tuesday haha. It was a great Zone Conference!
Well, I hope everyone has a great week and enjoy your summer!
