Hola!
Canada sounds pretty cool, and the weather sounds a lot like
it has been here recently in terms of the temperature, because we´ve been
caught up in massive rainstorms all week and next week! It has been great! Lot
of flash floods though, but better to have rain than deadly heat! And hey
Amazon delivers hear as well only that it first goes through the Branch
president in Texas hahaha, not quite as fast, but it kind of works haha. And I
guess Chihuahua actually get´s more visited than I originally thought due to
how much tourism we have to deal with when we go the airport (all the Americans
trying to speak Spanish with the airport attendants), it is more like a big
national park, kinda like the Grand Canyon only without the swimming part as
often. It is more of a bring your jeep and journey the mountain and the
waterfalls, it´s pretty cool, and then you go to a steak buffet for the best
steaks in México! I´ll probably visit when I get back when all the wars start
settling down in a year or two, it´ll be sweet! And cool to hear I’ve got
another cousin! I’ve lost count…How many do I have now? Hahahaha, and cool to
have another red head, I always thought that trait was on dad´s side, maybe
not… hahaha. And darn i´m going to miss a lake Powell trip, that´s a bummer,
maybe next year I guess, I could go for a striper bass feast one of these days
haha. And I shall be looking forward to all the packages, right now the
president of Ojinaga is in the states visiting his kid so he won´t be back for
a week or two, but soon I shall receive all the packages!
Well this week was awesome! It rained all week keeping the
weather cool to the point where we had to use blankets again to sleep! We got a
baptism we were pretty sure wasn´t going to happen, and I got to eat some more
Menudo even though it is usually only served in the winter! Awesome week!
Well let´s start with the rain, on Wednesday is when it all
began, at about 4 the rain started and by 5 there was a river in the street
about a foot deep! We went with our chofer to do a few tasks and it felt like
we were surfing with how much water was coming over the car, there were parts
where it was so deep that it moved our car with the tide, when we finally got
to our destination me and my companion had to get out of the car and we were
outside for about 30 seconds and we were already soaked, on the return back to
the car my companion fell into a big hole that looked like the sidewalk and
well he got soaked and was not happy about it, to say the least hahaha. But I
thought it was super cool due to not seeing sufficient rain in a year haha.
I´ll send a pic when it was starting and we were in the middle of the city!
Onto the unpredicted baptism, well a little while ago I put
a goal for the district to baptize every week, and well we´ve been pulling it
off! We were a little worried that we wouldn´t keep our goal because this week
the Hnas. Had a date for an inv. And everything was going well until Friday when
I went to do another baptism interview and my companion went to do the
interview with this inv. Of the hnas. Well my interview went well but the inv.
Of the Hnas. Wasn´t in his house so they couldn´t do the baptism interview, so
we postponed it until tomorrow, only problem was that on Saturday we had to go
take a missionary to the airport for certain reasons… Anyways we called the
zone leaders up and they went to do the interview, only problem was that the
inv. Called and told us he was in the hospital with his niece who had an
accident and couldn´t come, and so that go rid of that option. So our last
resort was today(Sunday) during the second hour during gospel principals he
asked us for a blessing to help him for his travel (oh and he is leaving the area
for 2 months, because of this it was a bit rushed to get him baptized), after
the blessing we asked him if he would like to be baptized, and he said yes, but
only if we did it then because he was leaving the next day. So we talked with
our mission leader and he organized it all, and boom I got to baptize him! It
was awesome! And well that was our week here in México!
con amor,
