Hello Family and Friends!
Wow how the time flies!
Another week already! I already have half a cycle with Elder Pesantez,
that's crazy! Things are just going super great here!
This
week on Friday we had interviews with President Anaya, those are always
super great! He is such a great guy and he has such love and concern
for each and every one of the missionaries. I always learn a lot when I
talk to him, even if it's only a few minutes. When I was about to leave
my area to go to the Stake Center which is like 20 minutes away on the
Bus the Zone Leaders called and told me that it was Sister Anaya's, the
President's Wife's, Birthday!! So we like ran out the house and got off
the bus at a big market that is like Walmart but more Mexican and I
bought a cake real quick to surprise her! She is so sweet and takes such
good care of us all as missionaries so I was happy to be able to get
her something and sing that Mexican Birthday song I still not don't know
the words to...I'm gonna print them out and learn them because I'm
tired of looking dumb during this song hahaha!

Couple
great things that happened this week. I saw a lady walk out of a house
with a Pink Utah Jazz Jersey, it was a #8 Williams Jersey and I just
thought that was crazy. We should probably teach her now and baptize
her, I know where she lives because she was leaving her house...haha
maybe we will go knock on her door haha! Also we were in the bus on the
way to District Class and there was the other bus across the street that
had died so of course our bus driver is cool and it was probably his
buddy so he crossed the street and we very gently rear ended him, and
then he took off pushing the other bus so he could pop start his engine.
I was very happy to be part of that beautiful process! I can honestly
say I have never seen a giant bus pop start another giant bus. Gotta be a first time for everything right? That counts as a Mexican Moment.
OH!
I went into this bathroom of one of our investigators and you would not
believe what he had in there! A BATHROOM VENT! It was a little fin in a
hole in the wall and you just plugged it in and BAM! American Bathroom
vent. I think he has been to Arizona a lot because he has a daughter
here, that's probably where he got that idea. Bathroom vents are a real
thing right?! Those are such a good idea.

| A Toucan like the one Kelson is talking about. HAHA! |
We
are teaching a guy named Angel and he is in a wheelchair because he lost
his leg a few years ago in an accident. He is such a cool old man, he
really gets around and he is super self reliant. He has his own little
business on the corner of his street where he has an old Walmart shopping cart and he has a bunch of cleaning supplies. On Monday to Saturday he is
out there selling all morning and into the afternoon. He was a bus
driver and a mechanic before, so we always talk about mechanics that's a
fun thing for me! OH! And he has this super awesome TOUCAN in his
house! Like those crazy birds that are always in the pictures he has
one! I don't think that's legal...but also he has like 10 other super
beautiful tropical birds and an iguana that is just...creeping around!
He is a great guy. Other missionaries had talked to him but he is a
little difficult so they just kinda stopped visiting him. But from the
first moment I saw him I did what President Monson talked about and
imagined him in his white baptismal robe and I was thinking how we were
gonna baptize him (because he only has one leg and his other is a little
weak). It's gonna be very hard to get him to church, but we are gonna
work hard and pray harder because this man needs the Gospel! This man
and ever man and every woman! Pray for Angel please!
The
work is unstoppable. It is rolling forth and will continue to do so
until it has filled all the earth. I am humbled to be part of this work
and to see the Gospel of Jesus Christ light up the lives of people who
had lived in darkness all their lives, a darkness as real and cruel and
miserable as is (wonderful) the light of the One who came to save us. If you haven't
seen the video of Christ that was made for Easter, I invite you to see
it! And SHARE it! Share the love, share the light. The Gospel is true, I
know it!
