This week was good! It is really different in the new area but it is good. The house is a lot bigger so that is nice. All of my shirts are really big now and my pants, so I walk around looking like a true cold blooded Vato down here in Ecatepec.
We have some investigators who are elect and a half right now. Just praying that the angels of God will minister unto them in their needs to get baptized by water and fire. The nice thing in this area is that we have a lot more actual lessons, we don't just walk around all day looking for people to teach. The only problem is the attitude of the people here in Mexico, they are living in the fullest level of iniquity, it's not even funny. Everyone worships the virgin Guadalupe and I just can't even wrap my head around the concept because Christ is just a secondary figure to the virgin. It is inconceivable to me. So down here you just have to be cut throat savage while teaching and not hold anything back because there are so many false doctrines here. They are living in the false traditions of their fathers.
Cool story: this week a drunk guy ran us down and yelled at me because he thought I was discriminating against him because he was drunk. I explained we wanted to help him but I told him hermano, we want to help you but we can't teach you while you are like this because you cannot feel the spirit and will not be able to learn anything, so he just kept walking with us and yelling at me and when we got to the main street all the normal people were trying to help us calm him down. When we turned and walked away he just kicked me in the butt and ran the other way. It was pretty funny. Luckily I got buns of titanium so it didn't hurt or anything.
We went to the visitors center this week with a couple who needs to get married before she can get baptized. The guy is a returned missionary and is just breaking the law of chastity and living with this girl but is 100 percent active..I don't understand. He is awesome and from New Jersey and speaks perfect English so he is my favorite member in the ward so far, but I'm trying to help him gain his salvation. We will see what happens.
Love you! Have a good week!
