Juanita 9-11-18

This week was cool because we got to be with Juanita in her baptismal service! We taught her everything in less than a week, and she remembered all of it! Impressive. She was a fun miracle because I had taught her forever ago but never could see her because she was always with her family in another city. Then randomly one morning she called me and told me she knew the curch was true and wanted to get baptized asap. Her son got to baptize and confirm her and she looked so happy. Her dream is to be able to do her family history work and be sealed to her husband for all time and eternity in the Mexico City temple 😊 the pic of the two little girls are her granddaughters, Jimena and Camila :)

Juan is really excited for his baptism as well, which will be on the 22nd. Then Valeria and Paola will be baptized on the 29th, and Sandy in October. We are hoping that Wendy accepts the Gospel and joins her sisters in baptism, and Diana can't get baptized till she is married to her husband, which is un rollo y pues ni modo hay que esperarle. 

Carmina is doing a lot better now, she is happy. Kike can't get bapitzed till his parents go to church, and Brandon is sad because his mom wont let him. So yeah thats pretty sad :/ 

President Casillas and his family went to a meeting with us in Ermita and then went on a few visits with us. Fun time!

I'm trying to think of fun experiences but I always forget them and end up not putting them in my eamil and im sure you all think that I'm a boring missionary by now. This week at 2AM i woke up to the worst song ive ever heard in my life. it was so bad. it made my ears bleed. the neighbors just decided to cart out a ginormous speaker and put it on the sidewalk and play crappy music. im honestly just having a great time with Elder Anderson and Elder Ogden, who share my area with me and Elder Te. ooo i got to meet Sergio from my ward back home! that was awesome! and it also made me realize that my english sucks. bad. 

I'm not dead, just working. the days fly by, maybe thats why i never have anything to say because i dont remember the week haha

Helaman 7:16

"Yea, how could you have given way to the enticing of him who is seeking to hurl away your souls down to aeverlasting misery and endless wo?"

We were listening to a talk by Jeffrey R Holland about the law of Chastity(Of Souls, Symbols, and Sacraments). And this scripture combined with his talk was amazing for me this week. Elder Holland talked about why we should wait until marraige, and talked about how Satan throws everything he has at us because he is jealous of our bodies, and that's what he wants. A body. so why are we giving into the temptations of him who is seeking to take away from us our greatest gift? The world is more polluted than ever, I can see it every single day I walk down the streets of Mexico City. but we know better than to give way to the enticing of him who is seeking to hurl away our souls.
