Mexico City Temple Open House

What up Fam...or (to whom it may concern)

This week was so busy and so awesome and amazing at the same time. Wednesday we went to the temple as a branch and it was awesome! The Mexico City Temple is sweet! You can always feel the Spirit so strong in the Temple, dedicated or not! I think there is a video on YouTube that an Elder told me about that is the same movie that everyone watches before they went in the temple. Kinda a prep for all the non members that dont know what the temple is. Check it out.... ask Johnny or Carli how to use YouTube aight mom! haha After the temple we had a bar b que with the branch across the street of the temple, it was delicious. I love our branch.

Then, on Thursday morning we had interviews with PRes. Nancollas and he said that Elder Obregon is goin to be leaving me this next cambio (Nov 16) and im goin to get another companion and be here in Apaxco still. Im pretty excited and sad at the same time. Sad cause Elder Obregon is awesome and i might get a lame comp, but excited cause im going to be able to grow so much in my teaching and speaking and everything so im pumped about that!
Saturday we went to the temple as a zone to help direct traffic and answer questions. There was seriously a million people there. When we went on Wed there wasnt that many people but Saturday was a ton! I mostly directed buses and answered questions at a booth thing, it was pretty tight! The Mexican people are awesome! I also got to see Elder Farmer one of my buds from the MTC there so that was cool. On the bus ride there and back I got to talking with Elder Romney about when we played bball together, specifically when I hit that buzzer beater to beat them my J.V. year.... good times good times.

Lets see, we got back late Saturday and we had a bunch of appointments so we were literally sprinting around town. Great fun!
Then the highlight of the week, as if there werent many, was on Sunday! We had 5 baptisms, a grandma (Rosa) and 4 of her grandkids, Moises, Noe, Mariella, and Ernesto. They are tight! Hermana Rosa had 18 kids (7 died before they were born) but 18!!!! Can you imagine, we did the math and she was pregnant for about 12 years of her life. She is so sweet and says (gracias a dios) (thanks to god) after about everything we say. We´re are teaching here other kids and grandkids, but we´re having a hard time getting them to church. There are like 25 people living in these 3 little houses all next to each other. Its sweet.
We were supposed to have 6 baptisms, but the other Hermana didn´t show up.... Anyways it was a great experience to have that many baptisms in 1 day. Im just loving the work and trying to do all that I can to improve my Spanish and TEaching and siempre working to have the Spirit with me.
Oh, something tragic happened yesterday in the afternoon, I accidentally deleted all my pics on my camera! Tragic i know, hopefully you´ve been saving my emails (what do you do with my emails by the way?) and saving my pics that i send! Elder Obregon is going to send me the pics from the baptism and some other pictures that he had on his camera that i wanted to send, so i can send them to you, but i have 0 pictures on my camera...... So dont worry mom, my memory card isnt quite full yet! haha

Thats about it from your favorite missionary! I love you all!
I know the church is true and It is the most important thing in the world to me. It brings me so much happiness and so much joy and it is so awesome to be able to focus on bringing others that happiness!
Well.... until next week!

Con Amor,
Elder Greg Hea
