Hi
This week was cool, we had a ton of miracles and hard work, and then Vincent was chosen to leave the area, and I got my new companion, Elder Te! Te in spanish is tea so that's cool. However he is more attractive than me. But I'm still taller. so HA! I guessed that Elder Vincent would go to Tasqueña and he didn't believe me. Guess who went to Tasqueña? 😏
I went on companion exchanges with the Assistants in Xochimilco, we had a fun day, and it was hilarious because there was this tiny weiner dog and it jumped at Elder Hansen and he screamed like a little girl. I also smiled at this one lady as I walked by, and the assistants told me that she found them a few days later and wanted a visit, and now she's progressing really well. You can literally smile at people in Xochimilco and baptize them. Ridiculous.
Then I had companion exchanges with Elder Sanchez in Iztacalco 2. it was a fun day, we ran around and visited a bunch, and kept walking by this super nice R6 that was up for sale :/. We at pizza that night.
Then I had companion exchanges with Elder Pizzi! We had a fun time and also ate pizza.
This week we found Sandra and Brisa, we were walking down the street and just starting chatting with Sandra, a young mom, and she explained that the missionaries had visited her like 8 years ago but only a few times because they always went with her sister who lived upstairs. Her sister was baptized and then moved to Texas and the missionaries never had come back! She is pretty awesome, still remembers that Prophets are really important and wants to be baptized with her daughter.
We had been calling Ruby Vazquez for like 2 months, trying to put an appointment and finally got to meet her on Thursday. She is golden! She is super cool and really likes hearing us and she wants to go the church. I saw her daughter on the first day that I got to Iztacalco, cause she doesn't have a bottom jaw. I told Elder Vincent "I want to teach her, she looks like a cool person." Guess what, she is a cool person!
we had just barely sat down to write to our families today when the CUTEST little girl tapped me on the shoulder. She asked if we were busy, we left the internet cafe and she told us she wanted us to pray for her. We said a small prayer right there on the street and her mom started bawling and idk it was super cool and a miracle and Nicole is just the cutest person I've ever seen. God works in mysterious ways. We will be visiting them soon.
John and Alondra are great, Juanita wants to be baptized, Juan is doing awesome, he came to church and had great questions, Brandon still is fighting to get baptized, Kike didn't go to church but really wants to be baptized, Carmina is better, Brenda is fine, Mauricio is super drunk 24/7 now, Daniel Gonzalez is happy and progressing, Magdalena is good, Irma is progressing, Zulema is just waiting for the divorce, and there are a lot more people that we are teaching too.
A really cool experience I saw this week was of the De Antuñano family. Brother de Antunñano was a Bishop, Stake President, and then an Area Seventy without a break, he hadn't sat by his family a single time for almost 15 years. And this Sunday he got to sit by them. It was so cool to see them all sitting together, beaming from ear to ear!
Aranda quote of the week: "Life is like a loaf of bread, slice it wherever you want." he said that to a girl trying to explain Agency. I think it kinda worked, it a roundabout way.
Cool quote of the week. "The atonement is not only for those who need to repent, but for those who need to forgive as well."-Hno. Sosa.
I officially have hit my 12 weeks. I will be home soon. Have a good week!
