This was another great week. It is still really hot but its finally
starting to cool down which is nice. Still pretty hot but not quite as
bad. We had a pretty good week. Ended up teaching a lot of lessons and
we will even have a baptism pretty soon!
We had to go up the Eagle Pass for a District Meeting. Eagle Pass is
super cool. It is right next to the Border so there was a super big
Mexican flag. And I made it past the Border Check so that's always
good.
I guess the day before I got here they met a guy named Gerardo (Since
we are pretty gringo he makes us call him Jerry) but we have been
teaching him a lot and he is all set for baptism. He just needs to go
to church 1 more time then he is good to go.
Teaching him has been super cool. He is so prepared, he takes notes as
we teach him and then we will give him the pamphlet and he will look
up every scripture that is on the back. It is sweet. But it is just
amazing how willing he is to act. He knows it is true so he just
follows everything that we teach. As soon as we teach him about a
commandment he just starts living it. He was a little hesitant to give
up coffee but then ants got into it so that made it pretty easy for
him haha.
So yeah it has been a great week. We had to go on a super long drive
one day to the bottom of our area for a lesson. It would normally take
45 minutes but we have to go straight across and then down so that we
don't leave the mission boundaries so it ends up taking almost 2
hours. That was a long day.
It has been great. Everyone switches to English mode once they see us
but most of them will speak Spanish to us if we ask if we can practice
Spanish with them. So that is also super fun. Oh and we got a call
from the Branch President last night saying that we have another
person that he set up with a baptismal date. That was the coolest call
I have gotten.
Have a great week! Love y'all!
