Today was really long! first we had to go all the way out to the offices which are like and hour and a half away and we had to be there at like 9 o'clock because we had to sign some papers. Then afterwards we had to rush back home, (its really hard to rush when you have to take the bus...) because we had to move all our stuff into the apartment below. Unfortunately when we got back home we checked the cell phone and we had four missed calls from the secretaries telling us that they forgot to give us some other papers we had to sign. We didn't answer our phone because I accidently left it in the house. But we have finished moving and the good news is that we have a washer! the owner of the apartment really trusts us and decided to let us use her washing machine. Its awesome! and we also have an oven, a very very rare feature in mexico. A lot of housewives are scared of the oven and just use them as another cupboard.
This week our recent converts Axel and Rox came to church! we were so happy! because they hadn't come for like three weeks and we were getting really worried. and we didn't know what to do and then we were talking with them one day and it all came out. they were just feeling a of pressure about all the responsibilities and the members were being a Little bit hypocritical (I'm not sure if that actually an english Word or if I made it up but I think you get the idea.) and they were also trying to have 2 religions (mormonism and catholicism) Anyways we explained it all out and now they are going to do a lot of praying. But they came to church!!!!! yay we were super happy to see them.
The rough part was that our two most promising investigators didn't show up! and they both promised! Alexis told us an hour before church started that she was going to come but then didn't show or nor did she tell us why. We are going to have a very stern, but loving, conversation with her this week. And Jenny, who knows why she didn't show. maybe she went out to her moms house and couldn't.... I'm hoping the best. But they both need to come to church! its the most important part of their progress.
We also had our zone conference on wednesday. It was really good. Our mission president told us that in like january or sometime they're going to come out with a lesson 6! which will deal with being autosuficient. (again I'm not sure if thats a Word in english... in spanish its ''autosuficiente'') . anyways we all really excited. And he talked ALOT about the second coming and told us that we need to read and study all the prophecies because we are going to be living them. which made all the missionaries afterwards to start chatting and talking about all the prophecies. the truth is that it really is close. I don't know if it will be in my life but its possible. The only thing we can do is just obey the commandments and listen to the prophets voice so that we are prepared for whatever happens. The righteous will have no reason to fear.
We had a cool stake missionary activity this week. They were all blindfolded and had to follow a rope and listen to good/bad voices to try and make it to the tree of life. It was fun and the members really liked it. I wish we could take the credit for planning it but the stake did all of it and the missionaries just had to show up :)
Well thats all the good stuff. Nothing funny or scary or out of the ordinary. I love you all so much!
