Hey there everyone!
Thank you for all your emails and kind words. Hahaha, that is crazy about the bunnies and I hope that they are doing good. Hahahahahaha, Brinkley that was a great way to ask Trey to Morp!! I bet he loved it. Little boys, I love your updates and sweet words...keep them coming!!
So this past week has been a better week for me feeling wise. I still get homesick every once and a while but I enjoy your letters and the time I have to see American Missionaries. Today for P-day we had our Zone activity and it was a blast!! We hiked up this big hill and played American Flag Football....finally something besides soccer hahaha. Believe it or not, but I was the QB for my team and I dominated!! We don't keep score but you know me and my competitive side, so really I kept score in my head and we totally won haha. After that we had a stick pull tournament and I beat everyone!!! I guess I am the strongest in the zone hahaha. After we went back to the church and played soccer of course, and we ate some food. We got every kind of meat in the world and cooked it together and made tacos with flour tortillas. It was yummy but I am sure we will have to pay for it later.
So this past week has been kind of not so successful. We have like 7 or 8 investigators but only one progressing investigator. We can't get anyone to come to Church, it stinks. So pretty much all this week we just went around trying to get references, service, and trying to strengthen less actives and investigators. So there is not much to write about the week. Saturday we came here to Puebla and met all the Elders in our District and helped them with an activity that they had, and also had some Baptism interviews that my companion had to do since he is the District Leader. It was fun!! My companion and another in our District acted as investigators, and the members didn't know about it. We played Pictionary about stories in the Scriptures, and after my companion and the other Elder got dressed as Missionaries and told them how they felt as investigators...bad hahaha. The point was to help the members get involved in Missionary Work. It was good as we all taught and bore Testimony of the importance of members and their work and love for the investigators.
This coming Saturday we have an activity of our own. We were trying to plan something but nothing was coming. The other night I had a dream about what we should do. So we are going to do it!! In John 21, it's after Christ is Resurrected and His Apostles don't know what to do so they go back to fishing. Well Christ made them breakfast on the beach and then when they got to the beach, Christ asked Peter three times, do you love me? Peter says yes of course, and then Christ says, then Feed My Sheep. So we are going to act that out. I will be the narrator and my companion will be Jesus Christ. Then some youth as the Apostles. After we act it out we will take a picture of Christ to each member and ask them do you love me (Him)...then Feed My Sheep. Afterwards we are going to teach them the meaning of it and then have everyone go out and invite the inactive, less active, and non member friends to come, and then we are going to play games and eat food. I cant wait!! I think it is going to be a blast.
So yesterday I had my first Baptism. Elder Villalba performed the Ordinance and it was very special. Bertha is her name and she was so ready and the Spirit was so strong!! I also had to give a talk...so I talked about Humility. I hope they understood me hahaha.
