Hermana Jones week 69

Ok oh sorry last week I didn't have very much time to write.  We were with our ward mission leader and his wife pretty much the whole day and his wife was teaching me how to cook Mexican food so I can make it when I get home...yummy.  I made mole which is a super classic Mexican dish.  

Last week was great, though, and this week is going to be suuuper good to.  We have an investigator named Sergio who has about a year listening to the missionaries.  He isn't married but he is living with a less active member of the church.  We are super happy because they are getting married in the morning on Tuesday and he is getting baptized Tue night.  The brother of the less active member is named Miguel Angel, and we baptized him about three months ago, I think.  It is happy to help less active families come back to church. 

Also yesterday was probably one of the best days of the whole mission because one of the areas that we have hermanas has about a year that their ward hasn't baptized and everyone in the mission always prays that they won't get sent to the Crespa, but yesterday the hermanas baptized 3 people.  It was a great baptism because everyone was so happy.  One thing I have learned a lot in the mission is a lot depends on our attitude here in the mission and in life. 

Anyway, not a lot happened this week because I spent most of the week in other areas...oh ya, I remember a story from this week.  We were working to find new people to teach in an area, and a lady passed that I felt like we should contact but we were late to go to lunch with a member so I didn't contact her.  But then I kept thinking about her and thinking about her until I told my companion we had to go find the lady in blue.  We had no idea where she went, so we spent a good amount of time looking for her until we saw her in a store, so we waited outside.  When we finally talked to her, she was super happy and said that she had gone to our church many times and loved going but she had lost contact with the missionaries and they stopped visiting.  What I learned from that experience is your life will be a lot better off and easier if you listen to the spirit the first time.

Oh yea, I also ate brain this week for the first time in my life.  Brain tacos are actually one of the most expensive tacos they have.... it was actually the yummiest taco I have ever eaten.
