My favorite was to go teach with hermana Galicia becuase they have a family of ten they are teaching right now! And they all went to church this week. It made me so happy. I can really see the hand of the Lord in my life.
This week we also found a miracle. We met a man named Jesus, and he has been to church a lot, but he was always too busy at work to listen to the missionaries but he had an accident at work and hurt his arm, so now he is always home because he can't work any more doing heavy machinery. So we have been visiting him for a couple weeks and because he is hurt we can visit him every day. The secret blessings from God, aaaaand he is getting baptized this week! yay!
Also we were working all this week to get the papers done for Viviana and Eric and the Moctesuma family, so they can get married and we finally finished. The elders in our ward also finished getting the papers ready for their family, so we are going to have our big wedding on Saturday and then all of them are getting baptized on Sunday. It makes me really happy to see the difference in all of them since we started teaching them. The Moctesuma family makes me laugh because it reminds me of when we were little and crazy. The only thing is they have 7 kids instead of 5. Their mom loves it when we come because I play dead donkey with them. I always wondered why you guys loved that game so much when we were little but I realized finally that it was so we would stop running around and be quiet. Its funny though because now every time we come they want to play dead donkey which is fine with us. It is just funny to teach lessons now because now instead of running around and fighting, all the little kids are laying on the ground with their arms and legs up in the air hahah.
Also we went and worked with our ward mission leader and his wife on Saturday and they are amazing! They are both return missionaries and so they taught with us really well. Hermana Viviana was a little afraid to tell her family that she was getting baptized, but when we were there her family came and visited halfway through the lesson! so we taught them and they all went to church on Sunday!
Also we finally got the Liahona this week, so we could read all the conference talks. I loved conference this time there are so many good talks to share with our investigators. Anyway I hope everything is going great all of you are in my prayers and I am glad the move went smoothly. Weird that I am going to have to start telling everyone that I am from Indiana now and not from Chicago haha! I was reading about the new 70 at the back of the Liahona and it was the same 70 who came for stake conference last week(Elder Montoya) in his biography it says he was nervous to become a 70 but the profeta Monson said "you are here because you love the Lord" I liked that a lot to think about any place we are in life. Am I here because I love the Lord?
Also they are finally going to open the temple here but it is going to be in September! The month after I leave and they are going to have a ton of people in the stake I am in right now dance. Looks like I will just have to come back to mexico to see it Hahaha. Anyway I hope you have a great week!
Love,
Hermana Jones
