First got to give a shout out to Ashley for the Backpack! I love it! Also happy birthday to my guy Taylor out there in Africa!
This week was really good! My new companion is awesome! We are having a lot of fun and success together so far. We have a baptism planned on Saturday with our girl Paola and then 4 more on the 29! We are seeing lots of miracles in the area and zone. Our goal is to baptize 200 people in the month of December! It will be the most baptisms in the mission since the early 2000s.
Story time! This week we were walking in the street pretty late one night and some guy called us over. We went over and the guy was off of his mind on some type of drug (we think crack). He took the watch right off of his wrist and offered to sell it for 150 pesos and we were like forget about it, this guy is high out of his mind. He then lowered it to 100 and we said, hermano, we have nothing. so he dropped it down to 70, still nothing. Then to 50 and at this point we started searching our pockets for some extra change cuz thats a 3 dollar watch right there and we only had 25. We offered the 25 and he denied. So we knocked on the door of Paola (getting baptized Saturday) and he yelled at us "Come, Take it before I repent!" and he sold us his watch for 25 pesos. It was the best purchase I have made yet in Mexico. The things a guy will do for money right?
Today we went to the temple and did a session and sealings and it was awesome. We are unable to do sealings as a spouse as missionaries but we did it as children and I learned a ton of new stuff. Mostly I just felt super blessed being able to have been born into a family with the gospel. I also was able to receive endowments for good ole Grampa Johnson Knight Adams. It was an awesome experience and I could feel him ministering to me during and after the session. The temple blesses families! And I am extremely grateful this day for dad having joined the church, because of him we will now enjoy the blessings of eternity with his ancestors. Thanks dad!
p.s. i will call at like 7 on Tuesday alright? so be ready.
love yaaaaaa
