| Quetzalyn's Baptism at the Church by the Mexico City Temple |
Shout out to my beautiful Mother who turns 29 today! I love you mom! You are the greatest :) Ever since I can remember, my mom has done everything she can to make sure I am happy and have everything I need :) Thanks for being the best mom I've ever had!
Also Kenadee
and Brother and Sister Covington, I got a package and a sweet Christmas
card on Saturday from you lovely people! So guess what I did, I put on
Christmas music and my comp and I had a little Christmas party! Wahoo!!
This is the best thing about bad mailing systems, you get to celebrate
Christmas like 6 times without feeling guilty for opening packages
before Christmas! WAHOO! :) Everything was so perfect, thank you all so
much :) Sure do love you guys!
So Quetzalyn was
baptized yesterday! It was so cool. We had Stake Conference, so our
meeting was in the gaint chapel in Temple Square here, so the baptism
was a the church right there too, so the pictures are super cool because
the temple is in the back! The Hermanas in the ward also baptized a
young girl named Julieta, so I got to baptize here and my companion
baptized Queztlayn! It was absolutely incredible to get to see her get
baptized. She was so prepared by the Lord and just loved everything we
taught! After two missionaries knocking on her door on a Saturday night
she came the very next day at 8AM to church and stayed for all three
meeting! She is just Golden. We are now working with her mom, siblings,
and her grandma who are almost all progressing :) Sure do love her and
her family!

| The "Hot Cake" Birthday Cake! |
So a member here in the ward that
always lets us use her washing machine had her birthday this week, so
naturally we made her a cake. But oh, not just any cake. Remember how I
bought that giant bag of hot cakes at Sam's? Yeah. We made a cake out of
hot cakes. A hot cake cake. The Hermanas made a yummy frosting and
together we created quite a masterpiece! It tasted exactly how you'd
expect a giant hot cake to taste, but better because it was HUGE! Anyway
that was super cool :) Alejandra and her husband Hector are our
favorites and Hector is into a lot of the same stuff as me, so we have
fun chatting about electronics and such when they invite us over to eat
:)
So I saw a couple things that surprised me
even for Mexico, so I thought I'd share them! First, there was this
horse-drawn carriage downtown by the temple. That was weird, but
then weirder because the carriage was indeed an old truck bed somehow
attached to the sides of the horse. I am still trying to figure that
out! Also there are always Mariachi bands by the Temple on the corners
and yesterday there was one and they also featured a SAXAPHONE! Mexico s
first and famous Mariachi Jazz Band.

| Hermana Amor decorating the Hot Cake-Cake :) |
So this
week we took an investigator named Daniela to the Centro para Visitantes
(Greg: CV or Temple Square Visitor Center) and it has been sooo hard to get her there. Something always comes up!
But this time the same thing happened but we just made it work and
somehow made it to the CV with her! It was so powerful! We showed her
the video of the family there (Filmed in Red Cliffs in St George, hehe)
and after it talks about Eternal Families and my companion and I bore
our testimonies of eternal families and told her that we wanted to see
her and her husband and her two cute little girls there. I also said
something along the lines of how bad we wanted to see her there and how
much more our Father in Heaven wanted them to come - all together - to
live forever with Him. At this point she just broke down crying and that
was so cool! That's the most I've seen the Spirit touch someone during
my testimony. I know it wasn't anything I said, but what the Spirit
affirmed and taught her.
