Semana 36: Petro 4 Life

Hello everyone!! I hope y'all are doing well!! She thinks the missionaries are her dad We learned how to make tamales at Hermana Carla's house (a member) and it was actually pretty fun!! I learned a ton of bad words this week... from a member.  The bruthas We got a taste of incest in Mexico when we found out two of our investigators, the mother and the son, ARE PARTNERS. The saddest part is that they are probably our most elect investigators at the moment and the Law of Chastity is gonna be a real awkward lesson.  Buena Suerte Elder Alfaro This guy we are teaching easily passes off as one of the strangest investigators I have ever encountered. He should be baptized by now. He literally sends us our own mormon message videos and general conference talks to read and listen to. He then goes on a deep and profound analysis of these talks and testifies of the words of the prophets. His WhatsApp photo is a painting of Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery when they were visited by Elijah i

Semana 35: México Teaaaa

Alaaaa frickin mecha this week has been filled with a lot of great stuff! This week felt longer than usual but we were grinding like crazy so it was all worth it in the end!! Two more of our friends are getting baptized this upcoming week and I am so excited!  Elder Pelón Here is the dramatic part of my week:   We saw one of our investigators that we haven't talked to in several weeks walking down the street. We stopped her and her grandson (who was on date) and chatted with them for a bit. I asked the grandson if he still had a desire to be baptized and he was like "ehhhhh". This is when everything blew up in our face. Apparently, the mom was so angry that we were teaching her son that she beheaded her mother-in-law's cat. On top of that she is posing threats on us if we try to pass by their house again. Now the grandma is mad at us to because her cat got brutally murdered by her daughter in law who is insane in the membrane. That family went from being taught to do

Semana 34: MY FIRST BAPTISM

Hellooooo amazing friends and family! I hope you all are doing well! I don't know how many of you still read these weekly but if you are, shoot me a message or email! I have to say, I have been super lazy with my email writing this transfer so please forgive me if I still haven't responded to you, I'll get around to it... eventually :) Da Boys Esoooo First off, I must say that even though my mission is crazy apostate (working on it), we definitely know how to have fun and make the most out of any situation! On Pday, we drove to a nearby city where a member owns an indoor trampoline park, we had the entire complex to ourselves and it was completely free! I'm almost positive that trampoline parks are against the standards but my mission president approved it so why not make the most of it, right? Our attempt to take a mid air pic Zona Poza Coming home from the trampoline park was quite the experience... we almost died. Like multiple times. I think it is safe to say that o

Semana 33: Boring Email Don't Read

Helloooo everyone!! I hope you are all having a phenomenal week and enjoyed watching general conference! I watched all of it in Spanish and I could actually understand 100% of everything that was said! The most famous goose "todos somos güeros porque a dentro tenemos almas blancas"  -Hermana Martina  Speaking of Hermana Martina, she openly said that I was her favorite between myself and my companion. Hahah I translated my patriarchal blessing into Spanish so that was cool. We were supposed to have 5 baptisms this week but due to the classic "can't keep commitments" problem here in Mexico, we had to push them all back... far New Covid Guidelines for tracting We were teaching a lesson to a family outside of their house on the street when these two gangs of men showed up and just started going at it. Fists were being thrown, one guy got curb stomped (I hope he didn't die), and finally one of the gang members pulled out a pistol and everyone separated. Since tha
