Week 16 - This week in Mexico

Me getting drenched!!

HELLO FAMILIA!

Love you all so much!

This week was great.

First off we'll start with the spiritual. This week our baptism fell through due to some sad circumstances on the part of the investigator.

This week during church I really took some time to contemplate during the Sacrament. Sometimes I think it gets so routine that we need to take a few minutes to just reflect! I did, and it felt so good. I know that the Sacrament was instituted by Christ so that we can renew covenants, always remember him, and receive the Spirit. If we take the sacrament, we have the promise that we will always have the Spirit. This is so crucial. This day, the Sabbath day should ALWAYS be kept sacred. Our Heavenly Father by way of our Savior, created everything in 6 days and rested the 7th. He sanctified this day for us. I encourage all of you to reflect on the way that you are keeping this commandment and the ways that you can better keep the Sabbath Day Holy.

Okay, cultural item of the week. Here in Mexico some people don't understand what it means to throw things away. I literally saw a man walk out of his house, throw a beer can into the street and walk back into his house. What the.... That's not how it works.

We also got SOAKED this week. It was raining so hard that we couldn't see when we were walking. Plus all the dirt roads turned into mud slides and it was awful, but fun. Our house is literally just a drying station now for all of our wet stuff. We at one point had to stop and we were waiting for the Ark to come by any second.

I love you all family! Keep holding on to that Iron Rod and you will make it to the Eternal Life that is waiting at the end!


Stay safe and keep me up to date.

Love,
