I feel exhausted. I dont think I have ever put so much energy into one week of work like this last week. I have been working in Nicolas Romero. It is the bottom corner of the mission and it is in the same zone as Valle de Tules. Its crazy to think I was there more than a year a go with Elder Torralba. It is cool to see how much improvement and experience I´ve gained since being there. I have been working there with Elder Perez who hasn´t been a district leader before. He feels a lot of pressure and I think I´ve been able to help him with the adjustment. We have been workin like locos. Its been pretty fun though contacting everyone.
In our area we did ok. We found some people to get baptized at the end of this month, but there is still a lot of work to do. I think I am going to stay with him one more week to make sure he has the hang of everything. Then I will be off to Tepalcapa (a zone that I´ve never been in) with Elder Meraz. He is really a great Elder. He has like 27 years old and works really well. I´ll probably just be with him for a week and then I´m not really sure. Tomorrow we have the zone leader council and we are going to plan it in a little bit with President Nancollas. It should be fun. Then tomorrow after the council we will have another meeting with President to let him know how its going and what are the plans for the next few weeks.
Another cool experience this week was on Thursday. The training meeting with all the American greenies was awesome. It was really hard though talking about missionary things in english. The whole time Elder Molino and I were struggling for words. We did a lot of practices and they motivated It was a great meeting. President Nancollas is the man. He is doing so many changes in the mission and with all the changes it is necessary. He has a lot of confidence in Elder Molino Elder Anaya Elder Allen and I. He said that he hasn´t known 4 missionaries that he had more confidence in than us 4. It made me feel great and it made me feel like the Lord is happy too. The whole mission has changed a ton in the last 3 weeks and everyone is so pumped. A lot has to do with all the missionaries that are going home with me. Most of us are leaders and we all motivate each other to have great zones and districts. It´s going well.....
I also felt one of the greatest things that I have felt my whole mission this week. I dont remember which day it was, but he called me to say that Javier, Laura, Abraham, Xochitl and Tomas were going to get baptized on Saturday. I got to talk to all of them and they were so excited. Elder Memmott said it was a great experience and that it was amazing on Sunday. He said that in the priesthood class, Javier shared his conversion experience. Memmott explained the story to me and it went more or less like this.....that he went to pray and was praying all day to receive an answer if the church was true because he was confused. He came back from work meditating and praying and when he got home and opened the door he saw Elder Memmott and I sitting on the couch teaching his wife and his son. He said that he felt his heart get warm and was filled with joy and he knew in that instant that the church was true and that he needed to get baptized. On Sunday I got to talk to all of them again after church and they said that they wish I wouldve been there. We are totally going to visit them when you come down. ¿va? I´m really happy just thinkin about it. Acutally, in a year, Elder Memmott and I want to come back together to go to their temple sealing. That would be sooooo tight.
I cant really think of what else to write. My mind is just wasted. I cant stop thinkin about the next step, the next plan, the next change I need to make. I love it though. I feel like I´m progressing a ton. I love you fam. You are the best support I have. It will be great seein eachother soon and to be together in the kingdom of God. The work is true. Heavenly Father loves us and wants our happiness. As we are obedient to His commandments and in helping others reach eternal glory we receive this happiness.
I love you all!
