Hey! Fun fact: did you know Juan Diego (catholic school in Sandy) is an actual person and is 100% responsible for the corruption in Mexico. I guess he is the guy who founded the Virgin of Guadalupe and for that we have to drop 80% of our investigators every week because they have "tanta fe en la virgin altÃsima." So If I hated Juan Diego (the school) before, now they are below Olympus to me.
On the other hand, this week went really well. We are still having success but have dropped a little. It is really hard getting investigators to get to church at 8 in the morning but if they are not getting up on time to come it means they don't understand the doctrine and I have to repent and teach better. It is crazy though how people can just straight deny the spirit because they want to live in wickedness. We have had investigators tell us that they know that the Book of Mormon is true but would rather live the way they live than to be converted unto the Lord. Or they believe the church is true but they refuse to stop worshiping the virgin, or they know the church is true but their tradiciones are dripping in iniquity and think that if they get baptized their ancestors will curse them. We might find a lot of new investigators every week but we usually end up dropping most of them, but whatever it takes to find the Elect of God right? There are people out here who are so prepared to receive the Gospel of Christ, but there are also others who are not, and it is our job as missionaries to find those elect and help them gain their salvation.
It rained pretty good down here this week for the first time in a little while and all the rat colonies in the sewers were slaughtered by the drainage. There were rats floating in the streets it was absolutely disgusting. I felt like I was literally behind the scenes of the filming of Ratatouille. That is awesome that Taylor is out in the field now. "I'm feeling skinny Tony" my dude is looking thin. What happened did he get a worm or something? Just kidding, just wanted to scare Stacie. O.k. Don't worry, if I know Taylor it is probably just because he hates the food so he refuses to eat it.
I'm doing good out here in Ecaptepec Just the same old same old. The days are the same it feels like, you know the feeling when you just get into missionary mode and its just like a big blur. Ya that's what's happening to me now. Sorry I did not take many pictures this week, and none with me in them but I will try to work on it. Love ya stay classy.
