Love you all so much!!!!!!

This week.... was sort of crazy.

Tuesday we went and ate some tacos that were super good, but I was up all night throwing up. First time throwing up in like 7 years! I went to the doctor and it was all good. 

Wednesday, we had a zone conference with the President and we trained on how to study more effectively (While I was still super sick, but a priesthood blessing helped me get through it with no problems). Then I went to the doctor. It costs 3 dollars to go get a check up here and the medicine in all was 10 dollars. I love the medical system here. 

Thursday, my companion ended up breaking something in the church and we took an hour fixing it. Don't worry, it wasn't anything important.

Friday, we gave another training to the zone in our zone meeting. We challenged all the zone this week to bump up the work!!

Saturday, normal day. While waiting for a taxi, we saw this like street brawl.

We were waiting for a taxi this week when we saw this one guy get of of his car and just start beating the crud out of this other car, breaking the windows and punching the dude inside. Then all these teenage kids got in on the fight smashing the other guys car. Then one of the guys got out with one of those extendable police batons and started chasing after these guys. Then his dog that was in the car got loose and he started chasing after the dog. It was crazy. That's Mexico sometimes.

Sunday, we had a Skype meeting with the president.

It was pretty busy this week with a lot of things.

This week our two investigators that are getting baptized next week both told us that they didn't want to get baptized. We invited them to pray and then we went back the next day. We also had been praying really really hard, and they decided to do it again. They're young and they were just a little nervous, that's all. They're excited again!

Well, I know that God loves us, My companion and I were thinking the other day about something. Sometimes the Elders think that if we are obedient that God will give us more baptisms. That's not true. He doesn't just give out baptisms like Santa at Christmas. Being obedient helps us to feel the Spirit more and be instruments in His hands. This is His work too, he's trying to save His children as well, but he can't force them into being baptized. That is Satan's plan.

I hope all have a great week!!!

Love you!!!!
