I had a good week this week and I am glad to say it rained and in some parts of here in mexico it snowed! It looks like I took some of the snow with me "Oh look at me I´m a missionary in mexico and I´m taking the snow with me! uh huh uh huh uh huh uh huh uh huh uh huh"

Our water heater this week. .... . . . the gas hasn´t come in a while! But don´t worry . . . . it´s safe ;)
This week we got really comfortable working here in plateros (still) and I am glad to say we are having quite a bit of success. All I can say is "it´s all in your mind" says my companion. Sometimes I know he´s right and other times he´s just saying that just to say that. This week the mexican people thought they would be funny and say racist stuff at me and my companion. I am not going to lie they came up with some pretty whitty stuff. But all in all I didn´t like it. One group said "cafe con leche!" meaning coffee with milk. You can guess who is who. and then you have the general whooligan screaming guero or something like that. Whoot! Also this week a member showed us a little game that scared me so badly! It´s called five nights at freddy´s and it is SUPER scary. It´s a good thing I´m a missionary. This week we got a couple of references and some people that we found to come to church this week and I was really glad that our hard work finally paid off. We will have a lot more people coming to church next week it´s just that a lot of family stuff came up for them and couldn´t come this week. This week we had a really depressing announcement. Our president told us that we can´t wear tie bars anymore. . . . so I am sitting here with 7 really fancy and good looking tie bars and I can´t use a single one! It´s a little bit saddening but it´s all good in the end.

This week in my studies I was reading in a lot of the parables of Jesus Christ. And I came across one that I have always liked. It was about the 10 lepers and I found something really interesting. In the scriptures (or at least the spanish ones) It says that the lepers started out far away and shouted " have mercy on us!" and Jesus said to go see a priest and they were healed. Then the one stayed and gave gratitude to God first and then gave gratitude to Jesus to help him. Then Jesus asked where were the others and then said to the leper you faith hath made thee whole. Well didn´t the others get healed too? My question was why did he say that if he knew that they were going to be healed and they didn´t give thanks. In my interpretation I think that he meant it spiritually when he said that, That he was spiritually prepared and ready and was growing in that aspect too. I know that when we read the scriptures we have to think of things spiritually and physically too.
I LOVE YOU ALL AND THE CHURCH IS TRUE!!
Let the love of God be with all of you :)
