Hey my beautiful family and friends!!
So today is the 15 of September! Its like the 4th of July for Mexico! And its crazy! These people love to party... Haha its fun to see their culture! My companions birthday is tomorrow and the bishops family invited us over to have a water balloon fight! Aww its was so much fun! They seriously feel like family and im so grateful for them! It helps a lot when your far away from home to have a famiy that takes such great care of you!
But this week was great! Im feeling so much better and we jumped right back into the work! (: We had a really amazing experience this week with the husband of the family Calderon (Daughter is America with Downs). His wife was sick in the hospital and shes about 5 months pregnant. And one night we stopped by to see how they were doing and were able to sing "I need thee every hour". The spirit filled the room and it was almost tangable. The nanny even started singing with us. It was so special! I think it was a turning point for him- he didnt participate in our lessons very much before but now he does! Its incredible!
We also found a woman named Ereberta. She has been so many times to church but has never been baptized!! We put a baptize goal for her for the end of this month! It was such a tender mercie for us! And I pray everything will work out! With the help of our God, nothing is impossible (:
Also yesterday, it literally rained buckets... we were in the house of a member and it was raining so hard we couldnt hear each other speak... It was nuts! As I looked farther up the mountain, my heart broke and I broke into tears as I realized the houses above could get ruined (There made of wood). I told my companion I wanted to run to their help, but she told me there was nothing we could do. All we could do was put out buckets under the roof to catch water so it wouldnt go down to flood the houses below. Luckily the rain stoped and it hasnt rained today! Everyone was so scared because this exact day last year, it rained for 3 days with the same intensity and ruined so many houses. I know so many prayers were answered and that Heavenly Father was watching over the people here.
We also started a "purification process" as a zone yesterday! For 40 days, we are going to work on purifying our hearts and to be better missionaries. We will give up all the things that arnt in harmony with what our Heavenly Father wants and strive even harder to become better missionaries. I am super excited! Its gonna be hard, but I know this will help me to have the companionship of the Holy Ghost even stronger! Im grateful for this oportunity! And its been amazing, both me and my companion have felt that already, our lessons are more in harmony and the Spirit has been stronger in our lessons!
I love all of you so so much and Im so grateful to call you my family and friends!! Thanks for all the support once again. You are all in my prayers! LES AMO!!
Con mucho mucho mucho amor,
Your Brookie Cookie (:
