Once upon a time, there was a little Hermana. In the MTC she awkwardly asked her teacher how someone would ask you to marry them because it was a legit fear she had. What she should have asked was, How would a mother tell you she wants you to marry her son. Twice in one day 2 women told me that I should marry their sons. One was an investigator. She said, as translated by my companion, "You are so beautiful. You should marry my son and become a Mexican. you´ll love it!" I sat there slightly nodding because thats usually what I do when I have no idea whats happening. Yup, exciting.
That same night, we were walking to an investigators house and this car intentionally tried to hit me. It came VERY close. I was in so much shock. It was scary. Mexico is out to kill me. I also learned there are crocodiles here!! I want to see one so bad.
One day for lunch we went to a members house like usual. She put this food in between me and my companion. My comapnion misunderstood her and thought it was for me. So, I took a bit. MY MOUTH WAS ON FIRE. Im pretty sure actual flames were coming from my mouth. It made some good entertainment for the family.
On a more spiritual note, we had some AMAZING lessons this week. Theres this less active member who has started going to a catholic church and she doesnt want to come back. At the end of our lesson, we were bearing our testimonies, and suddenly things were flying from my mouth. I proceeded to testify that i knew that this church was true and our message was true or else I would be home by now. Because mexico is so different and so hard for me. When I ended, her who countanance had changed and she agreed to think about coming to church. It was amazing. Another woman, shes active, we were having a lesson and we said maybe 5 words the whole lesson. but it was ok because she was telling her story of how she was converted to the church. We were all crying and the spirit was super strong. We also have this investigator who is pretty much Golden. She has a baptismal date and she is so super receptive. she has been prepared. I love our investigators and mostly their prayers. They are so sincere and bring the spirit.
Oh! One more thing I forgot to say last week. One of the members in our ward accompanies us a lot. She had such a great experience, she called her husband, who is an area 70, to tell him. He was at a conference and guess who was there?? Elder Oaks! he asked if she would share her experience with them over skype to everyone there. So, that was pretty cool. I never realized how important members are in the work. they are more important than the missionaries. I invite all of you to work with the missionaries (If you´re not a missionary) and you´ll see the blessings that come from it.
Love you all and hope you have a fantastic week!!
