Subject: Milpa, Lodo, y Lluvia
Buenas!!
Well another super great week here in Chimal! It has been raining a lot more and so almost every night I put the fan on my shoes to dry them off after cleaning the mud off of them because the little aldeas we visit the streets are dirt and when it rains it makes mud. Also Milpa means corn and some of the people we teach have a lot of milpa and we have to walk through their corn fields on the way to their house.
We were super excited that the family we found by the BYU sticker came to church on Sunday! The dad has been reading the Book of Mormon and finished 1st Nephi this week and had some way good questions!! We had a lesson with them last night teaching about the gospel of Jesus Christ and the Spirit was SO strong! We started to invite them to baptism and the dad said yes but we couldn't invite the rest or put a date because he started asking more questions about the Book of Momon and we were out of time. But this week we will invite them again and do it better this time. We are excited for them and believe they will be an awesome family in the church.
We are teaching Orlando more and he had/has a baptismal date for this Saturday but he went back to the capital and wont be back till Saturday so we are thinking we might have to postpone it a week because we still have some stuff to teach him but we are leaving him some reading assignments and will have to see if he is ready or not on Saturday. He is doing great though and has been to the church a ton of times and told us he knows the church is true and has not been drinking coffee since we taught him the word of wisdom.
We also challenged Aide and Mario to get baptized this week and they accepted and said they were going to come to church this week and they did go to church, but not with us! They went to their Evangelical church... so yeah we are planning on going with them and some members tonight. They are awesome though and came to see the prophet and have had spiritual experiences but Aide cant read so it makes it a little harder but not impossible!
Today we cleaned the house! We didn't think it was that dirty but ended up cleaning a lot and the good thing is that now the Spirit will be stronger in the house and it also means we took pictures. The house here is very nice and a little pricey but considering that 4 missionaries live in it is is a normal price.
As you walk in the door
A bunch of extra beds that are in the garage
The front door, which is made out of WOOD!
Where we study
The kitchen
And the kitchen from another angle
And I dont have pictures of the upstairs. Yep. Hay dos niveles. So not too exciting the house pictures but we were excited about it haha.
Also I feel like I talk about this a lot but it is really SO important to read the Book of Mormon every day. On Monday we had a meeting in the morning and then weekly planning and so we didn't really have our studying and as we say in Español, nos hizo falta. We weren't nearly as in Harmony with the Spirit as we normally are, could have been and should have been. SO if you are having a bad day or things aren't going well ask yourself if you have read the Book of Mormon today. If you haven't read it, read it. If you have read it, read it again and live what you read. The Lord responds through personal revelation and through the scriptures!! Especially the Book of Mormon. If you prayerfully read and ponder it every day, miracles will happen. Go ahead and try it. I KNOW THAT THE BOOK OF MORMON IS TRUE!! LET IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN YOU!!
