When is the last day of school? I saw pictures of Dan and he looks suuuper different. I can't believe that that is the same Little Dan Dan... he looks so tall....he is probably going to be taller than me by the time I get back. Today we also had exchanges and I am in the same place, but I have my fist companion who is from another country other than Mexico or the United States and she is from... LIMA PERU! I was super excited to have her as my companion, and she seems like she is going to be really fun. Her name is Hermana Infante.
Anyway, this week was super fun. We didn't have a lot of time to work because we were with the Seventy on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday and then we had a half Pday on Wednesday but it was still super great. We had a baptism this Sunday of Miguel Angel, and it was super great. All of his family was inactive but they are starting to come back to church and we baptized the youngest brother in their family. It was a really great end to the exchange.
This week was also pretty cool because my companion thought she would be leaving so she took me to part of our area that we had never gone to before called Las Misiones. In that second I remembered a family that had gone to church a few times while I was in Sauces but then they moved to LAS MISIONES!!! So I went home that night and looked in all my agendas and I found the number of the mom and we are going to go visit her this week! yay, I am so excited because she is the same lady that was in the pictures of my birthday with the piñata so I am going to see them again!
Also, funny story from this week-- we were walking for a really long time when we came across a group of about 15 dogs that were all fighting and we were super scared because they started surrounding us. I could just imagine them biting us because almost every missionary has been bitten by a dog here in Mexico. They started surrounding us and I started praying and singing, who knows what hymn... and we both went behind a pole and let them pass. They didn't pass, so we stared walking but the dogs followed us! They weren't fighting any more, but it was still scary, so we decided to turn around and walk the other way so they would keep walking, but they turned around and followed us. Then we crossed the highway, and they followed us! Wherever we went, we had a huge group of dogs following us. It went from super scary to super funny we pretended that we were Moses leading the people to the promised land while my companion sang "Let my people go." Then we went into a gated community so we thought the dogs would leave because they couldn't get in, but when we came out three hours later they were still sitting on the lawn. So all day we had our army of Street Dogs. It was pretty awesome.
Anyway, this week was great. Oh I forgot that the hermano who baptized Miguel angel is about to go on his misión, so he was super excited because it was his first baptism! I hope you guys have a great week!
Love,
Hermana Jones
