Wow this
week has really passed by fast. I got to Sunday and I realized that I get to
write you guys
again. Sometimes I feel like the week goes Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday
and Sunday.
What is cool is that this week was so full of stuff that it passed by even
faster.
So this
week was really cool because it is the week of the independence of Mexico. In
the US it´s just
one day but here they have a party and then the next day they have the after
party. Not really
but it´s a two day deal and it´s super cool. Thursday night we had el grito de
dolores. In every
pueblo city state in Mexico, the presidents (mayors) Shout the grito at about
1030 or 1100 in the
night. and then afterwards they shoot off a bunch of fireworks. What was cool
is that our house
is almost on main street so we went out on our balcony and heard and saw the
shout. At the very
end they say viva Mexico three times.
In the
morning of Friday we went to the desfila or parade they have all of the kids in
the schools march
and the Queens of Ascensión ride on the hoods of the cars. I think that the
best part is when a less
active kid about the age of Price was dressed up like a friar even with a half
bald cap and
holding the banner of guadalupe grito Viva la virgin Maria. It was like That´s
not good.
We had a
really cool teaching opportunity. We were in Omnibus going from Ascensión to
Casas Grandes
for a training meeting. When we got on the bus the lady next to us asked us to
talk to her about God. We
were a little confused because that had never really happened before and where
do you even
begin. So we started with Lesson 1 and we pretty much taught all 5 lessons by
the time we got to
Casas Grandes. It´s a good thing we weren’t heading to Chihuahua because if we
had more time we
might of baptized her in the bathrooms in the back of the bus. It was really
interesting because
even though she didn’t say anything we could tell that she had lost someone
very close to her
and that she worried about his salvation. We could also tell that she had been
listening a lot to
the JW but that she wasn´t a member. If you listen close enough you can find
out a lot about
the people you talk to. Hopefully she will keep listening to the missionaries
but we don´t know.
Well I
have to let you guys go but I hope that everything goes well in school and
everything. Remember
that you guys are examples and can help bring others to Crist. I love y’all muchisísimo. Cuídense
mucho.
