Endless tender mercies from the Lord

Wow!! What a week!! We had a Leadership conference on Thursday afternoon down in Saltillo. It was our last leadership conference with President and Sister Cahoon. It is going to be so hard to say goodbye to them... on the bright side… they live in Salt Lake so I will still be seeing them often. Plus, I’m going to make sure I take my future wife on a double date with them to make sure that she makes the cut… haha!! It´s going to be hard becuase they are just so great so I’m sure they will put some high expectations! 

President gave me a little bit of time at the end of the Leadership conference to talk about some of the miracles that I have seen lately and about how we were able to work with members in Ramos Arizpe during my time there. The Spirit was so strong in that room. I will never forget how I felt that day. What an amazing experience!!! 

When we got back to Piedras Negras on Friday morning it was 2:30 AM and the whole bus station was full of immigrants that were making some plans to cross the river over to the US. I don’t know if you guys have heard about this but there have been a ton of immigrants from Africa and Honduras coming through Piedras Negras to cross the river over to the US... they use blown up plastic swimming pools and they use them like boats. Anyways, as we were waiting for a taxi we saw a couple of them walking towards us and they gave us a really dirty look and then they opened up the door and like 20 of them ran out the door with two plastic swimming pools.  Then they crossed the street & the police showed up and then they dropped the boats and started to punch the police officers. It was like right in front of us haha like legit 10 feet in front of us. One of these cops even had an AK47 so that was crazy. Luckily a taxi showed up and he helped us load my weights in the back of the taxi haha! 

This week we baptized Ximena; it was a super dope experience. Her great grandfather stood in for the confirmation so that was great! At first, she wasn’t really sure that she wanted to be baptized, however, then she had a dream and her great-grandmother who was a really strong member of the church told her that it was time for her to make some big changes in her life starting with baptism! Such a miracle…got to love the endless tender mercies that the Lord blesses us with!!! 

Hope you all have a fantastic weeeek!!

Much love,
