This week has been a pretty great week! pretty crazy and kind of painful too to be honest. I was sick this last week. for about a week and a half. I have Gastritis, (i´m not really sure whats it called in english) but it´s somehting to do with stomach acid and stuff. it hurt. i´ve been on a super healthy diet and can´t drink soda and have been taking a lot of pills. But i feel a ton better! and haven´t hurt for days! So it´s pretty much all over now! I just need to be more careful with what I eat now. Becasue a lot of the food that I eat here is not very good for you. But other than that it was a great week! we found a lot of really great people and we are getting ready for the baptism of Alexia wednesday!! I´m way pumped. She has been waiting for about 2 years to get baptized, but her dad never gave her permission, her mom is a member, but he finally gave her permission and she is soooo ready!! they´re going all out with invitations and cake and everything! i´m way pumped. I´ll definately send pictures.
Theres this family in my ward, the Benitez family, who all got baptized about a year ago but have been inactive for most of the time, and we started teachign one of their daughters that wasn´t baptized and 2 of their grandkids that are now baptismal age! they´re fantatsic! they came to church this week and 2 weeks ago! theyré great! but they didn´t come last week, because the grandma benitez (maria de los Angeles) went to the hospital and they siad that she has cancer. she was super sad and didn´t do anything for a few days, but laster did more tests and found out that she dóesn´t have cancer! she said that it was a miracle and gift from god. Which i´m sure it was. so she´s super intent on reactivating and coming every week!! the only problem is that they´re super poor and don´t have money. But they came this week. so things are looking fantastic for the baptism of the daughter and 2 grandkids! We´ve found of mountain of fantastic investigators and i´m very excited for the end of this change and the next, because we´re going to be baptizing a lot more! it´s really fantastic! we work hard. seriously.
WE had a miracle in the church sunday. We have been having an insanely difficult time getting people to church, for the last 3 sundays only 1 person came. But this week we had 7 come!!! 2 were brought by members and we´d never met but now have appointments, and the other 5 are our investigators. One is the neighbor of the Benitez family. He´s amazing. He has Epilepsy and falls a lot so he has a lot of bruises and i think a few broken bones, and becasue of this can´t work. But when he came to church he looked sooo happy. WE have a lesson with him Wednesday and i´m very excited for him. Seriously amazing.
crazy story. 3 weeks ago we had a man come to church who got baptized about 10 years ago, but has been inactive and living here in Cuernavaca for about 5 years, so we visited him to see how he´s doing and he was so excited to see us!! he lives in a sweet house with a pool and has another house with 10 rooms behind his that he rents out to college students, they´re nice, kind of expensive, but nice. So it´s pretty cool. We met his son whos 18 years old and he´s pretty cool. He was born in Mexico City and went to elementary school in a Jewish school. Then grew up in other religions and for a while lived with his mom in Ireland and there was baptized into the catholic church. And took his first communion in the VATICAN. IN the vatican. crazy. kind of cool. super apostacy, but cool. haha so he´s had a lot of different religious ideas but he seems very open and sincere and wants to help others, he seems like he´d be a great missionary. We have an oppointment with him tomorrow. i´m way excited. This weeks going to be crazy!!!
WEll thats about it! I love you alll SOOOOOO MUCH!!!! And am so greatful for all of your letters and prayers they help more than you can ever understand!
I love you all!
Love
Elder Summers
