What's good home boys, welcome back to another email. Hope you all had a wonderful weekend and that you're all ready to return back to life this week. Good luck.
This week was crazy awesome fun, I've been with my new comp Élder Vance and it's been the weirdest most amazing thing to be able to talk in English whenever. Also probably a bad thing for my Spanish, but ni modo. Fun fact about Elder Vance, he started his mish in 2019 before the pandemic, got sent back home after being out 5 months, and then came back after waiting for a year and a half. Kinda cool stuff.
For the week, I can't even think of what to say because everything that used to be crazy here is now normal ahaha. But ya, water went away on Thursday and never came back, not sure what the deal is. Also found out on Wednesday before the water went away that our filter doesn't work. Basically I've just been drinking raw Mexican sink water since Feb. 1...lol
Other funny story that Elder Vance wants me to share was when he locked the keys in the house on Tuesday morning. We forgot about it until we got back to the house at 9pm, soo then we made the 15 minute walk to the Landlady's house and then waited for her son who didn't get home until a little after 10pm. Since then he has been very cautious with the keys.
The work here in Durango keeps trudging along though! We have a baptism scheduled for May 21st and I'm so stoked. Angel is a 13 kid we've been working with since my time here with Elder Alejandro (which was like two transfers ago) and at first he wanted nothing to do with the gospel. Now, just this last week, we invited him and his cousins to be baptized and Angel said yes without hesitating! Now we just gotta get the mom's permission for the 3 cousins to be baptized on the same day as his baptism hehe.
Before I go, here's a scripture I like in 2nd Nefi 33:1 that says
"...For when a man speaketh by the power of the Holy Ghost the power of the Holy Ghost carrieth it unto the hearts of the children of men."
Yesterday, after I shared this scripture as a spiritual thought after lunch, we ended up having a lesson that proved exactly this. We met a very sick man named Sergio who is afraid of death and doesn't think he's going to be saved. But, the spirit that ended up entering in the room as we shared our message was so apparant. It was a super quick lesson that was far from the first idea we had planned, but I know that the spirit carried the words of christ directly into his heart.
Use your power of your testimony this week and go share it with someone. It's gonna be awesome and you'll see miracles happen.
Love you all, peace out, BYE
