Hermana Jones week 66

So this week was super fun and we had transfers this week, so I was super curious to know where I would be in my last transfer. And I am super happy because I am staying in the same area with my same companion. I am pretty happy because there are still three couples that we are working with who need to get married and baptized, so it makes me happy that I will be able to be here for all of their weddings and baptisms. 

This year the 4th of July actually felt like the 4th of July because the Brady family (the family we were with when we talked on mothers day) had us come eat with them that day.  It was fun because the Elders in our ward are both American and so is this family so we ate super American food that they don't have here in Mexico because their dad just got back from a business trip in the USA and brought food for all of us. We had smores, salt water taffy, hamburgers, coleslaw, Twizzlers, Swedish fish, pretzels, and Goldfish.  Sometimes I forget how different the food is here in Mexico because they don't have any of those things here.  It was great. 

Also this week was hard because we were working with our investigators Viviana and Eric.  They are both great and were going to get baptized on Sunday and married Saturday, but I feel like Satan is working super hard against them. They were going to get baptized about two weeks ago, but their baby who is one year old got really sick and was in the hospital all week and they couldn't get married and this week in the same hour they were going to get married, the wife who is pregnant had the beginings of a miscarriage so they had to run to the hospital.  When we went to visit them on Sunday they were really discouraged because they know the church is true and they are trying to do whats right but didn't know why every time they were about to be married, something terrible happened to keep them from doing it.

Also their family has pretty much abandoned them now that they are going to church, which is really hard for them because they have so many medical bills they can't pay. We have been praying a lot for them, but I know they are going to be great members.  If not, Satan wouldn't be fighting so hard against them. 

Also I liked Dad's story about the Mexican who makes fun of the work of other Mexicans.  It reminded me a lot of a lot of people I know here.  They are always making fun of themselves and other people from their country.  Well usually they are just making jokes about everyone, but often about people from Mexico and people from the United States. 

 

Anyway I hope you guys have a great week!

Love,
