Hola Hola!!! We still out here grinding in Mexico!
Everything is going pretty good at the moment. We had our zone conference his past Wednesday and it went really good. Then Thursday we all got together as a zone to play volleyball and dodgeball while we took turns interviewing with President! My day one CCM boy Elder Oldham came and stayed with us on Wednesday night because their area is really far away from the stake center, so it was good to be able to work with him once again in Frontera!
This week we found a really good group of investigators. Every week we find at least 16 new investigators, however, they can’t just be contacts, they have to have a lesson and another appointment set up to counts as a new investigator. It's not necessarily easy to find 16 every week, however, we have been promised that if we diligently find 16 real investigators every week we will baptize two converts every single month as a companionship.
Friday morning before lunch we were working in the col. Elder Borjas and I had a feeling that we should stop by one of our new investigators from last week’s 16, named Jose. We started talking with him and then proceeded to teach the lesson about the gospel of Jesus Christ, with an emphasis on the gift of the Holy Ghost. He was baptized about three years ago in a different Christian church, but he never received the Holy Ghost. So that really intrigued him. We ended up committing him to be baptized in February! We asked him to say the closing prayer after the lesson, as he prayed he proceeded to say how grateful he was to be able to have us missionaries with him to help him to be able to truly repent and be baptized with the proper authority. We have only met with him twice, however, I have already seen him change so much as he has started reading the Book of Mormon. I’m so excited to continue to work with him this next week.
Saturday morning, we stopped by Merco and I bought a cake for one of our investigators Hermana Izabell!! (It cost 30 pesos which is like $1.50 haha) Anyways, she was at work when we stopped by to give her the cake, but her daughter said she would give it to her haha so hopefully the cake wasn’t gone when she got home haha, we'll find out on Thursday when we stop by to teach her.
Saturday afternoon we were contacting, and I went and knocked on this door... When this guy started yelling in English "what are you selling" hahah. Anyways, he came outside, and we started talking and he was a white guy that was born in Texas and then basically lived his whole life in Mexico since he was a little kid. Until he was 18 when he tried to go back to the United States and they wouldn’t let him into the country, so he had to stay in Mexico... (hopefully the same thing doesn’t happen to me hahah). He was talking in "Spanglish" the whole time which is just like a mix of like three of four words in English and then like three or four in Spanish hahah. Then he kinda forgot all of his English so I basically just had to talk to him in Spanish haha.
Sunday morning the surgeon decided to wear the tie I made last week to church. Everyone was pretty impressed with my sewing skills and now my brand is the second most hype brand here in Mexico after all of the fake Gucci haha.
Oh, and I actually have a little bit of a confession about gainz..... Over the last little while I’ve been skipping leg day haha because arms are way more important lol. This week I’m going to start hitting legs again though! I think I’m going to throw some classic Cory G Lunges in everyday after my workouts!!!
Thanks for all the love and support / Hope my emails aren’t too boring / much love
