Hello family!
Another and probably my second to last week here in Cuernavaca! It was very good. WE had lots of good lessons with some awesome investigators and this next friday we have 2 baptisms!!! Estefania and Yoatzan! We actually just moved in with Estefania. She`s around 50 and all of her kids are out of the house and she had her whole upstairs open so she rented it to us for cheap!! It was very kind of her. So we spent all morning moving. It was exciting. I`m very excited for my new house. Well we`ve found some really cool people lately. 2 weeks ago we found Yoatzan. he is the boyfriend of a member who is reactivating. He`s way awesome. He`s reading and praying and coming to church and wants to be baptized!! What a blessing. There are some amazing people here. We also found another family. The Familia Zoza Armenta. We knocked their door a few weeks ago and the daughter let us in, then left. So we talked with the mom and her brother, and at first they didn`t want anything to do with us. But then we got talking and we found out that recently her husband died so we taught them a cool lesson on the plan of salvation. They loved it and later we taught her and her 3 daughters the restoration. They all really enjoyed it and said they would pray and come to church. We went back and the mom and middle daugher were there, the mom said that she wasn`t sure if she had received an answer to her prayers yet, but the daughter said yes and that she wants to learn more! it was awesome!! But..... They didn`t come to church. I`m not sure why. we`ll find out tomorrow. Hopefully they just got lost and couldn`t find it. But we`ll see.
Well this next week is changes! and More than likely i`ll be leaving this lovely area. I`m a little sad because the ward is AMAZING! but i`ve been here for almost 6 months, so i`m very excited. Actually today marks 6 months since i`ve been in mexico!! woot! 6 months! It`s a fun place. I^m a little nervous that i`m going to be sent to a really hot area and just die from heat... But if that happens i`ll live. I`ll just sweat a lot. true story. But oh well.
We had a pretty funny lesson this week, we were teaching the mother in law of one of my converts, Eugenia, and she can barely hear. So we were practically yelling the first lesson at her and she didn`t understand very well what we were saying. At the end we challenged her to be baptized and asked probably 20 times and she didn`t understand what we were saying. Finally at the end understood that we were asking her to be baptized and she said that she was already baptized in the 50`s it would difficult. We explained about baptizm by authority into the true church and everything but it was just hard. The Hmna. Eugenia had to translate everthing for us. But it was weird. WE`d say something and she wouldn`t understand, the the hermana would say the exact same thing. and she would. haha it was kind of funny, I was almost laughing the whole time. Then at the end we asked her to give the closing prayer and she said ok. The she instantly started crying and like wailing while she was praying. It was quite an experiece. haha I almost started laughing during that too but I didn`t. it was very funny. But she came to church! with hearing aids. haha. and she seemed to enjoy that a lot. So we`ll see what happens.
Well april is here, and Cuernavaca is getting warmer. Still pretty cool. But parts are getting hot. Other parts of the mission are getting around 120 right now. very hot. I hope I don`t go there. but wherever I go. I go. haha Well thats about all I have this weeek. I love you all and hope you have a fantastic week!!!
Love
Elder Summers
