Email from November 24, 2014


This week was eventful and pretty exciting. We finally got a fecha (date) for baptism and I have no doubt about more. Miracles have been happening a lot here. Like when we find someone who wants to get baptized and has all the assistances that he needs. As a contact too! So I’m pretty thankful for that too.

  2A (School) on the left 5A (School) on the right.  And yes we played him at Dixie camp.

So I was told that the hottest pepper here in Mexico is the Habanero, which I am not inclined to believe so quickly! There has to be something hotter here.

So prank update. If I haven’t told you guys already the Zone leaders of our area had made our room a dusty mess of foot powder from a surprise attack! But it gets better. We had a pair of missionaries visit our house and have to stay the night. The Zone leaders bought some Talco powder and I mean 2 bottles of the stuff and absolutely positively got everyone! When it was all over and we were settling down everyone had Talco on their face and everything in our room (and I mean everything) had a thin layer of it. I looked so cool after it was all done! haha.

 The Aftermath


Also we were preparing a baptism of 6 for the other elders and it turned out the tank that the baptismal font empties into was really full. So we started to empty it but we couldn’t let the water leak out into the street or else they would complain that we were wasting water but we weren’t, we were saving souls here! So we tried putting the trash cans in front of the faucet and then taking it to the drain but that was inefficient. Then we needed to do something else so I had the genius idea of tying a mop to a bucket and taking it out from the tank! and we did that and it was awesome! Then we had another idea to use the dust picker upper thing I don’t know the name of it. . . . and it ended up in the bottom of the tank. I am going to start off by saying that it wasn’t my fault! It was Elder McCubbins! haha but it would have been me if not him. I think I’m getting bigger muscle wise. It´s either that or my head so take your pick.

So I learned this week that we really need to focus on what really brings miracles. And it’s obedience. The more you’re obedient the more miracles will happen. That if you are blessed it’s because you are obeying a law of some sort. That every good thing comes from God and we should be grateful these gifts! CHURCH IS TRUE I LOVE YOU ALL!! Remember who to be grateful to.
