Hey there fams.
Love you all so so so so so so much!
This week........ Well, this week was pretty good. I don't
really remember what happened. One of the coolest things this week was when we
did exchanges. I went with an Elder named Elder Zempoalteca. Pretty much the
second hardest thing to pronounce here. The hardest is Parangaricutirimcuaro.
Yup, I can say that.
Anyways, we were on these exchanges and we had a really cool
experience. We went with our first lesson of the day and it was with this less
active family at like 11:00. Well, they like surprised us with breakfast and
like forced us to eat it. It was good. but we were like so full. Anyways, fast
forward in the day and we show up to where we were supposed to eat. We knocked
on the door and the Sister walked out and told us we couldn't come in, but that
she had made us some sandwiches. She made a bunch! So, we went to go find a
place to eat. While we were walking we saw this homeless man. We went up to him
and started talking to him. Elder Zempoalteca asked him if he had eaten and he
said no, so he gave him one of the sandwiches and went and bought him some water
as well. It was super cool and super kind of him. Then we went on our way
looking for another spot to eat. We found some benches in this little store and
bought some water. As we were in line with the water this guy came up to us and
started asking us who we were and everything, that he has seen us walking around
all the time, but had never talked to us. Well, we spoke with him a little bit
and wrote down the referral for other Elders that are where he lives. Amidst us
talking with him he explained that he was having a rough time finding work and
everything. So, we offered him a sandwich as well. At first he refused out of
pride, but eventually he took the sandwich and thanked us. Elder Zempoalteca
and I just sat there afterwards thinking about the situation. We realized that
had we not eaten that breakfast in the morning, we probably would have been
really hungry and had gone all day hungry, but in this way we were able to help
these two people and be full ourselves. I testify that sometimes we don't realize
all the little miracles around us. "Lead me, Guide me, walk beside
me."
We also did other exchanges with the Zone leaders. One of
the zone leaders is Elder Lundbeg from Utah. He was the assistant to the
president when I got here, and he leaves in 2 days. It was super cool to talk
to him. He's a really great missionary and I was able to learn so much from
him! Yesterday they baptized a man named Jose that has no legs! I did the
baptismal interview for him. He's super cool. I am so thankful for the leaders
that I have had out here in the mission and for all the things that I have
learned.
I love you all and challenge you all to do something that
Christ would do this week if he was here in the Earth.
Love you tons!
