I was thinking of an email title but I cant think of anything right now, it was a blur of a week!
Everything's going pretty much the same, we're just grinding things out! We're gonna have Esmeralda's baptism this Thursday and like three days of exchanges so it's gonna be an eventful week.
Last week we had interviews with president blain who's new here! It was super weird doing the interviews in English and I was expecting to hear things about my companion or my area or tips about being a missionary, but just started talking about that I should be strong and keep up the momentum after the mission. Crazy stuff haha.
We met a drug dealer last week, we were just walking and he asked us for three pesos to take the bus. We didn't have change on us but we started talking about Christ. It was cool cause he started saying he wanted to be like the missionaries and learn more about Jesus, then out of the blue just said that it's been hard since he started being a drug dealer. We got out of there quick after that haha.
We also found a new family, they're also passing for tough problems and the dad struggles with the drugs, but how he is so dedicated and wants to see progression so bad in his life. He's making big changes in his life and is making a real effort to follow Jesus.
Last but not least, I just want to testify of the importance of service. On Saturday night we had follow ups with the district leader (my old comp elder sanchez) and we could talk about the importance of serving the people in our area and the missionaries. I felt super stoked to help out and serve literally everyone.
Sunday morning we were getting ready, and an hour before church starts the bishop calls and says I'd be giving a 12 minute talk the same day about service. So awesome, I was nervous but I was able to feel the spirit and let the lord guide me during the talk.
I'm so grateful for our savior and the example he has put for us. Try your best to find opportunities to serve others this week!!
Love ya guys,
Elder winegar
