Monday night after p
day we were just wondering looking for anyone to teach. So we tried a reference
that we had. Her name is Laura. So we went, she opened the door, and next thing
we know, we are teaching her about the family and she accepted to be baptized,
and we had a lesson scheduled the next day! It was nuts! We were blessed that
night by the lord with someone to who is ready to be baptized!
Tuesday, like I said,
we had our lesson with our Laura and it was a church tour! She told us that she
wanted to change and thinks this is the change for her! BOOM! That was awesome
to hear! Also, this same day began a giant, week long party in a large part of
my area. we avoided it at all costs because we didn’t want to be shanked.
Wednesday, the part
got even bigger. I don’t know how to explain in words how big this party is...
We didn’t have any lessons and we stopped working at six because we wanted to
continue living. So we sat in our house like a couple of little old ladies just
listening to the thousands of explosions going off outside.
Thursday is the day I
cried. We had one lesson, but the person didn’t accept anything. So after we
got home we got a call from Hector. We were excited because we hadn’t heard
much from him since he got his new job as police, but then we got hit hard. He
told us he still wanted to be baptized, but he would be able to until next year
with his job. He doesn’t have a break and we don’t know when is break day will
be for next year either. I tell you what, Def Leppard is so right and honestly
speaks to my soul as I cried a little that night.
Friday we had two
great lessons. One with Laura! three in one week!!! And the other was with Marcela
and Diego! I am so stoked to see them baptized and I can’t wait to keep helping
Laura progress!!!
Saturday was amazing!
We took Marcela and Diego, and another family to the temple! We got to see the
temple lights and went through the visitor’s center! It was way more spiritual
than I thought it would be and totally worth the drive there! not to mention
the lights were beautiful!!!
And Sunday we got to
see the dedication of the Mexico Tijuana temple! It was done by President
Uchdorf and elder Oaks! Uchdorf was very funny and at one point he said to a
kid that was putting a ton of cement in the stone, "Ok, I think that’s
good. We are not trying to rebuild the temple!" It was hilarious!!
Well, that my week.
that you for your prayers of safety because we needed them this week!
Stay Classy
Elder Johns
