Sounds like a crazy and fun week! I am glad everything went well with Jacobs farewell, kind of weird that its a month before he leaves but all is well! We had kind of a crazy week but everything turned out well. The sunday services were cancelled this week and we all got to participate in the re dedication of the mexico city temple. Pretty awesome. On saturday night we went to the cultural perforamnce that they did, it was a play about the histroy of the church and the church here in mexico. It was really neat but at the same time we invited a new family that we found and they all went but for a first experience at the church it was alittle weird lol, so I did a lot of explaining what was going on during the play. Then we got to go to the sunday morning session of the dedication. Elder Eyring and Elder Holland were there. It was kind of cool because both of the Brothers that were translating I have met here In the mission. One is from Argentina and he translates beautifullllllly. He came and talked with Elder Oaks and the other was the translater for Elder Oaks when he came. Kind of weird to see things like that and say, hey, I have met that person! My companion knew a bunch of the people in the play because she lives close to mexico city. Anyways, it was really neat. We have a couple investigadors that are really progressing and it is making me soooooo happy. We were running all over this week because one of the hermanas in our zone was sick so we had to travel to their area 2 during the week which is like a 40 minute bus ride away, but they have an awesome area its called chiapa de corzo and we drank POZOL! Goodness how I love pozol, but you will have to come here to try it, sadly its not something I can bring home. Oh well!
So I found a scripture that made me laugh this morning lol. I was reading in Mormon chapter 9. and in verse 24 I think it has a promise for missionaries lol. If they drink any deadly thing it will not hurt them!!!! Haha, Made me laugh. The whole chapter is great. I love what it says at the begining about how we would feel to be living in the presence of God knolwing we hadnt obeyed his laws. Anyways, what awsome things we find in the scriptures lol.
I dont have a ton of stuff to tell this week but I am enjoying my area and my companion is honestly wonderful. We laugh so much and she is such an amazing example. Every week i just get more and more excited for Jacob and Morgan and for listening to Keaton. Its just awesome and of course my amazing mom that I cannot wait to see. I love you tons and I hope that everything continues to go well with school and work and everything. Hope your online a second. GUESS WHAT! My companion has permission to call her family and her sister just opened her mission call! She is going to the Arcadia California mission! How awesome is that!!! Wohooo! Love you!
Love, Hermana Baer
