Que Tal Carnal,
AHHHH. I havent read any emails yet, but i saw real quick in moms email that Chony had her baby! ahhhh. Pictures.
No
mom, still havent gotten any packages or letters or dear elders from
anyone other than the 4 i mentioned last week. How did all baby births,
birthdays, holidays, farewells, visitors, and all that crazy stuff go
this last week. Ya'll are so busy.
So last week when President Angulo kind of grilled all of the
members at stake conference, it was awesome. There were 180 people at
that stake conference. But 2 years earlier, there were 440 people in the
same conference. He warned them that next year, they will be 90. A year
after that, they will be 45. He talked to them about how, we as
missionaries cant knock on doors, but THE MEMBERS CAN (and we will just
happen to be standing behind the members). This last sunday, instead of
having a 3rd hour, the whole branch met together, and asigned the
members to families of inactive members that they need to visit,
support, love, fellowship, and invite to come back. Yesterday we also
had the Primary Program. SO CUTE. All 12 kids sang so well. And the
chapel was decorated to the theme of Haz Lo Justo. We all got these cool
Haz Lo Justo badges. But...more imporantly...Alma received the Gift of
the Holy Ghost in the same meeting. My testimony of the Priesthood, and
the Holy ghost grow so much every day. The church is true. Alma now is
sharing the gospel with her son, Edgar. We have an appointement with him
tomorrow. She is helping to reactivate the sister who gave us the
reference to find alma. Everything is wonderful.
So Jimenez is a really strange place. I have taught a pastor (he
went to Camargo, so we havent seen him in a while), a clown (he went to
Torreon, so same story), a boxer (studies in an institute of technology
and it is hard to find time to talk with him), and now, a Luchador!!
haha. Yesterday, we found our reference, Vicente. He lives with his
family IN A PARK. ha. Well, it is a park with stadium seating. But the
seating is solid cement (well, hollow) because they live IN the stands.
Like. inside them. There is a door, and inside it is a normal house.
Except the cieling stairsteps down and is really low on one side. But
they dont have to pay rent, or light, or water, or anything. What a
snazzy situation. And more, he has been fighting in Lucha Libre for 28
years. His wrestling name is Estrella Infernal. And he has so many
pictures of himself in his wrestling costume. haha. Its awesome. I cant
help but think of Nacho Libre. But wait, theres more. He was already
baptised. Except he was never confirmed. But all of his family are
members (very inactive). So we are teaching him again. I am very
excited. Ok. I am out of time.
But i love you all. Take care. Remember who you are, what you
represent, and act accordingly. Don´t come home engaged, unless you are
Brianna.
Love,
Elder Hansen
