I will be coming home a year from tomorrow! September 17th 2014!
Its weird though, i feel like im just getting comfortable here in the
mission, like I'm just getting settled in, and I only have a year left!
I missed you guys last week, I'm sorry! I didn't have a ton of time to write.
But this week I am writing, So don't worry!
Okay.
Monday - We had a pretty fun pday on Monday.
We went shopping in a mall here in Choula (well really we just looked
around at stuff.) Then that night we had a great family home evening
with an amazing family. Their son and brother got baptized 3 years ago,
and then went on his mission a year later. Since he's been gone his
sister and his mom have both joined the church, and now he'll be coming
home in December! Its a pretty cool story, and actually she brought her
boyfriend over, and now we are teaching him also. It was a good
successful day.
Tuesday
- We had a zone meeting. I was surprised to see how much are zone has
grown, and we now have six sister missionaries in the zone, making us 24
in all. Its amazing how many more missionary's have been arriving since
the age change a year ago. Later that night we were able to have so
really good lessons with investigators and less actives.
Wednesday
- Was a jam packed day, we had so many lessons of high quality. We
actually found a new investigator named Catalina. About 8 months ago her
boyfriend got baptized, but he didn't really treat her very well, which
really turned her off to the church. But now they have broken up, and
she was willing to listen to us again. We told her to forgot the bad
things that maybe people had done to her, and listen to our message from
scratch again. She agreed, and now she is listening to us also!
Thursday - Was a pretty slow day, we were able to visit quite a few people, but I do not know, it was still really slow. Happens!
Friday - Friday
was..... Awesome!! This weekend was the Mexican independence and in
the church we had a Mexican night. Oh my goodness. Church parties in Mexico are so much better than church parties in the US. First of all,
we had a good number of less actives and investigators come out. But
then we had o much food! It was all seven wards from the stake, and they
all brought an endless supply of delicious food. Oh my gosh i have
never eaten so much in my life. It was all great fun, and a lot of
really good things came from it.
Saturday
- We had a lesson with Catalina, and she decided baptism is what she
wants to do.. We have a baptismal service set up for her on the 12th of October!
Later on we had a lesson with an investigator named Fernando, from
Columbia. He came to church the last week and just showed really excited
to learn more about god. Hes a very simple humble man, and we love him!
We talked with him about baptism also, and he said he yes also. His
service is set up for the 12th of October also!
Sunday
- All of our investigators came to church, and three less actives that haven't showed up the whole time i have been here in this ward! After
wards we had a lesson with Fernando at a members house where all three
of there kids are leaving on missions in 2 months. They just blasted him
the spirit, and afterwards he told us that that just helped him confirm
his feelings that that's what he wants to follow. It was sweet.
That was my week, Tell me about yours!
I love you guys,
Elder Wilson
