Well this week has been really a
trial of my faith y Elder Estrada’s. On Monday we taught investigator Hernan
age 15 y his younger brother Arturo age 13. We taught them about tithing because they had questions on
it y everything was good. Then on Thursday we had an appointment with them at 7
but when we knocked at the door their mom Nancy came out y she said she read
the Book of Mormon, but she said it can’t be true because nobody can talk to
God by revelation. Y then she asked us if we knew the member who gave them the Book
of Mormon y we said no. Then she said so “you guys are fake missionaries for
the Mormons” because he is an active member, but we didn’t know him because he
is in the other ward. She told us
she has no trust in letting her kids go to church. She said you can teach them
but for now no church. So we were a bit sad but one of her neighbors is a
member y so we took to her y the next day we visited but they were sick so only
the dad was there. But the member said I’m willing to take them to church y
home again. We just want the member to talk to Hna. Nancy. They are friends, but not to good
friends, so lets see what happens.
Then on Tuesday we were in the
church for a meeting, then investigator Roberto’s son David’s wife told us some
very, very sad news. Investigator Roberto is not married after about 20 years.
He was to afraid to tell us. So we visited him at night y he told us that his
wife y her husband got separated, but not divorced. Then her y Roberto were
living together for about 20 years. He said thanks for the lessons, I learned a
lot y we told him we will continue to visit him y he needs to read the
pamphlets y the Book of Mormon y pray to see what God wants you to do. Then he
said he will talk to his wife y see what they can do. So we were so sad.
Then we tried to visit Roscio, but was not there all week. We are going to find new investigators
y continue having faith in God.

But on Saturday we watched the cultural event
in Mexico MTC. It was about the
Book of Mormon y the church in Mexico where it all started out like a seed of
faith. Now it has 13 temples y a lot of members. Then yesterday we were able to
go to two sessions of the rededication of the Mexico City Temple. It was so
great y beautiful y the spirit was there. Henry B. Eyring was there y Jeffery R
Holland was there y he gave such a great talk on the spirit of Elijah.
So that was our week. We know
that God gives us hard weeks for a reason. I hope we can see some good things
this week. I will have 1 year on Thursday since I walked into the MTC. Love you
all y thanks for the prayers y love.
ADIOSS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hola mom. How are you?
The temple dedication was the
only good of our week. Well Roberto is no more y problems with Hern y Arturo. But the temple dedication did
help a lot. You know that song you sang to me all the time when I was small,
“Heavenly Father Loves Me”? When I sat down y waited for it to start they
played it y I felt the spirit y more importantly I felt your love for me! I love you Mom. I know it was a tender mercy. Don’t cry.
Did you ever watch that video of the “missionary work and the atonement”? It is about how missionary work has to be hard to because the Atonement was hard. It is a 5 minute video.
Hey, it’s been more than two
weeks y no package. I wanted it
for my one year.
Hey, did you ever tell my old
scout leader thanks for the letter y that I love her?
Do you hear anything from Joy? I hope she will let you in. I pray for her all the time. I hope all is well with Joy.
Hey, tell Nate I want him to think
of and give me a gift a special gift for you to give to me when I get home,
okay? No say what. I want Nathan to think of something.
I’m almost out of time. Hey tell
Dad that I’m going to take out 20 dollars for pizza for my one year!
Okay thanks. Tell Dad I will take out money for something special for my one year anniversary.
I love you so y give everybody my
love y I miss them y they are always in my prayers and heart! Xoxoxo
