Buenos Dias!
Hello all! This was a great week. Last Sunday, our investigator, Rubi, was baptized! Yah! In a week on Sunday she’ll be confirmed and officially be a member.
On Monday, December 12th, many here celebrated the Virgin of Guadalupe’s birthday. During the celebration, they all get together with the shrine and offer a special prayer. Then afterwards they eat food and maybe crack open a piñata. Our investigator Lupita threw one of these parties because it was also her daughter Lupita’s birthday. Also because she was really likes the Virgin of Guadalupe, thus her name. We got to come afterwards to just eat and we kind of hid in the corner with our tacos.
On Tuesday we had members scheduled to go on visits with us and they canceled which was lame, but we watched “The Testaments,” with Rubi, which was good. We don’t really watch TV so when we actually get to watch something, Hermana Renteria and I are glued.
On Wednesday it rained! It hasn’t rained in forever because the rainy season is over, so we were not very prepared. In the afternoon we traveled to Arriaga and got to share a twin mattress that night which was super fun and comfortable obviously. But worth it because bright and early on Thursday we all traveled to Tonala for a multi-zone Christmas activity! Whoo! Zone Tonala and Zone Chahuites got together with President and Hermana George, our Mission President and his wife, and it was great! We did skits and a little talent show and we learned a ton of stuff plus sang a lot of Christmas songs. It was super awesome! It took all day but it was totally worth it. Yay for Christmas!
On Friday the whole world gave us food which was nice. We were also really full the whole day.
There’s something about being a missionary that makes everyone think you’re starving even though you slowly but steadily gain weight your whole mission. It’s very interesting.
On Saturday, we visited Rubi like 10 times to get everything figured out for her baptism on Sunday. She’s so ready! Elder Xochicale, our district leader, told us after her interview that he has never seen a 12 year old who understands so clearly and simply the doctrine. We’re stoked!
On Sunday Hermana Renteria and I got surprised with talks . . . whoever was supposed to give the talk didn’t show up so of course Presidente Toledo throws it on over to us. Haha. . . but it’s okay because we all went to the river after church and Presidente Toledo baptized Rubi. She’ll receive the Holy Ghost next Sunday. It was super exciting! We taught the primary kids the song, “I’m Trying To Be Like Jesus,” and we all sang it for the special number. It was great! I hope you all have a great week and a Merry Christmas this coming Sunday.
Con mucho amor,
