Hermana Jones week 64

So, first off-- Happy Father's Day!  I don't really know when it is in the U.S, so I am just going to assume that it was on Sunday like it was here in Mexico.

This week was suuuuper good.  I think I gained like 20 pounds though, eating so much food.  What a shame that I am going to gain all my weight here in the mission right before coming home hahaha. So Saturday someone from church was going to have their birthday party for their little son at church and so they invited the missionaries.  It was super fun because we could talk to all the parents who were there with their kids and we even have some new people to teach now from the party.  I am not going to complain about the cake and ice cream either.  It was a pretty good idea of those members.  I think I am going to do that after my mission.  Just any party that non members are going to show up to I am going to invite the missionaries. 

Also on Friday I completed 16 months in the mission and it was the best day ever because the parents of the Moctezuma family got married.  It was really interesting to see a marriage here in Mexico because you just go to the office of the judge and sign papers but it was still pretty exciting.  

Then Sunday was the best day ever.  There were lots of baptisms. The bishop was super happy because he teaches gospel principles now, so all the investigators love him.  He always ends up baptizing almost all of our investigators.  Our gospel principles class has gotten huge.  So huge that there is no space for the people, so now you graduate from gospel principles after 2 months and there are still over 30 people in the class each week.  It makes me so happy to see how much this ward focuses on missionary work because it really just brings a different feeling to the ward. 

Then on Sunday for Father's Day we went and visited the Jimenez family.  They are some investigators we have who are suuuuper funny.  And they always feed us so much food, I feel like my stomach is going to explode every time we go to their house.  They are the best, though, and they have two dogs who have the same hair as Hermana Infante and I do.  

Also, I learned how to cut hair this week -- hahaha, not really. Little baby Franco Moctezuma doesn't like to get his hair cut, but one day I was talking to him and he said I could cut his hair.  His mom was happy, so she gave me the scissors, so I went for it.  I am super proud.  He only has one bald spot in the back.....but for my first time it was pretty good hahaha.  Anyway, I hope you guys have a great week and I hope all the kids have fun in their camps.

Love,
Hermana Jones
