Week 44 - This week

Wow! This week......

We have this exact water ski at home!!  :-)

Love you all sooooo muuuuuccccccchhhhhhhhhchchchchchchchchchc. Cha chacha!

This week was super cool. 

We started out on Tuesday by going out for Peruvian food, just me and my companion because the sister that was going to give us food that day was sick so she just gave us money. It was super good!!!! We ate cow heart. It was really good. 

Then all day Thursday we were in a meeting with Elder Valenzuela. He's in the first quorum of the seventy and in the Mexico area presidency. It was super cool to talk with him. He gave training on how to help the Lord quicken the work and how to work with the members. We were in charge of getting every thing ready for him. We set up all the chairs and tables, put out water bottles, set up the mics and everything. We wanted everything to be perfect, and it turned out great!! He also asked 4 missionaries to stay afterwards to be interviewed. I got chosen! I got 15 minutes to be one on one with a member of the 70. It was pretty cool. He taught me some nice things. Then later that night we had a meeting with all the priesthood leaders in the stake. 

Then on Saturday we loaded up onto a bus at 7 in the morning to head to TJ for a leadership council with all the Zone Leaders. Also with Elder Valenzuela. It was super cool too. He taught me a bunch about how to be a better leader in this mission. Then afterwards we got to go to Carl's Jr. and I bought some sweet Ecco shoes. There's this guy here that sells them super cheap. They're like manufacture rejects or something but they're like perfectly brand new. They cost 13 dollars. Haha!!! A lot cheaper than the 150 dollars you pay over there in the states!!! Then the coolest part happened!

We went to the mission offices to get some materials before loading up the bus and heading back home. On our way to the offices, this security guard stopped us and began to talk to us. He told us that he had been praying the other day because he had no food to eat. He had been praying to the Lord that he would follow the Lord where ever He told him to go if he would only give him some food. Right in this moment, his phone rang and an Elder began to talk to him. He had never spoken with the Elders before. He told us, "Hey, I am Catholic, but Jesus Christ told me that your church is the true church. He told me He wants me to go to this church. Where can I find the church?"  I was like struck by the Spirit so hard. We took down his information and passed along the referral. At the end he told us "Hey, you guys aren't wrong. This is the true church. Christ himself told me so." We just smiled and told him, "We know. He has told us too."

It was a super cool experience. I know that The Lord is working along side of us.

I love you all! May you all have a great week! 

Love,

Elder Morgan
