4/1/13

This week was good as far as numbers go , we found people and found lots of menos activos. We feel like we can do more or that we are missing something but it was a good week. 
Thanks for the emails. sounds like Michelle's talk went amazing and that it was a great Sunday and great week. I cant believe that she leaves in 2 weeks. good stuff.
So there's not really an order to this email just what I can remember. So yesterday in church it was ward conference. there were 5 speakers who each gave 15 minute talks, I just keep looking at the clock and couldn't believe we were still there. I don't know if it was planned to be a 2 hour sacrament meeting because it was ward conference, maybe, I didn't know you could do that but we finished exactly at the 2 point, it was brutal, well actually there were some really good messages but there is a point were you cant pay attention.  Actually thinking back it was pretty good. We left from sacrament directly to priesthood where the stake leaders chewed out all the brothers for not doing their home teaching ha, interesting but good Sunday. After church we found some really good less actives all with great potential and we had really awesome experiences. There are so many in this ward, and they are all really awesome.
We are finding lots of PFs or families where everyone are members, that's been most of our work and finding source.  One of the people we have found is named fidencio, he's like 70 and him and his wife are less active and are super, super poor. But they have a lot of faith, one of there grand kids that lives with them ran away so we said a prayer with them and the granddaughter came back that same night. Seeing people so poor has made me think a lot about Heavenly Fathers plan, and it has strengthen my testimony of it. I don't understand everything but I know that his plan is perfect. I am trying to be more humble because of it. Sometimes I feel sorry for myself or do things complaining in my head but I forget that it's the lords will and that he knows best and I need to do what he asks. 

So yeah learning lots. So this weeks was semana Santa which means holy week but its Easter, they just celebrate it for like a whole week, especially Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It was hard to find everyone because they were all on vacations or with there entire family, especially Saturday catholics don't work that Saturday or Sunday. I don't know if it is this area or if it was this week only but everyone here drinks and gets really drunk, I have never had so many burachos or drunk guys talk to us, just a side not, but its really sad.
So Tuesday the day of the US v Mexico game, I had been looking forward to that day for my whole mission, I thought I would get stuff thrown at me and get yelled at all day like the American fans do when they go to the game in Mexico City in el estadio Azteca. I was so excited but I didn't know it was Tuesday until that same day, I was super disappointed cause nobody said anything, only a few members, I wanted to see the game but well, I couldn't. It ended 0-0 and was just a lame experience. Apart from going to the world cup next year I plan on going to the next us - game that is played in Mexico, in 2017.
So that's about it. we gotta go try and fix elder Abarca´s clothes, he washed his whites and his dark colors together and now all his shirts and garments are blue haha, I have no clue what he was thinking but poor guy. 
Have a great week family. Happy Easter
