Gooood morning, ye beloved sons and daughters of God. Just wanted to handout a quick congratulation to my siblings and friends that either graduated, finished the school year, or just made it to summer. Hope everyone goes on to continue the summer partying!
We got some pretty big news last night. When we got home for the day, we hopped onto a district call, where we found out that we're going to be having emergency transfers! Fortunately, I will be staying here in Mezquital. Unfortunately, our neighbor area, Central, got slammed by the ET's. One of the missionaries will be going to Torreon, while the other one will be going to a different area to finish up his training. That leaves the poor little area of Central to be our new expansion pack. We will now be absorbing that area for the next 3 weeks and we will probably not do much there. Yayyyy.
Other fun stuff was that we had Stake Conference this week! We didn't have anyone come to church on Sunday, but at the Saturday night session we got a few people to come, one of which we're gonna try to put on date to be baptized next week.
On Tuesday, Elder Vance and I stumbled upon some super nice Baptist missionaries! They were two very Southern people from North Carolina, and they were apparantely out helping their Mexican representative of their church down here. I would've been perfectly fine if we ended the conversation there, but he ended up sharing a 15-20 minute lecture about why we are only saved by Grace, how we don't need to do anything good, and about how we don't need a Prophet or just one single church. Cool guy tho, would've been nice if he took a breath now and then to let us make comments lol.
Last weird story that happened yesterday was we gave a blessing on the side of the road. We were walking along (big surprise) when we heard someone start honking their car horn and yelling missionaries. This lady from Mexico city ran up to us and asked us for a healing blessing because she said she had a headache. So we just walked under a tree where we stood up on a curb and gave her a blessing as cars and people whizzed by. Hopefully our next street blessing can be cooler, maybe something like healing a dude that gets shot by a gang, we'll see.
Spiritual thought: In stake conference, the seventy that came talked about Luke 10:25-37. This is the scripture where Jesus answers a lawyer's question about how we can receive eternal life with the parabol of the Good Samaratin. We analyzed it super close and it was super cool. Basically, Jesus just said that we've got to love everyone. Big surprise, I'm sure.
In this upcoming week, please try to love everyone, no matter how weird, different, or rude they might be. Jesus gave out some pretty good advice, so I promise you guys it'll be worth it!
Love you all, peace outttt
