Not a ton of stuff happened this week, honestly. We're meeting some new investigators, as well as losing some old ones. Our "Piña" family fell through, because they wouldn't ever show up for appointments. We've found some new people in different parts of Temixco. I forgot how giant Temixco is. We spent almost 100 pesos just on busses in two days, going from top to bottom, left to right, and everywhere in between. Luckily, we've been getting investigators with some success.
There's a guy who owns a Hamburger stand called "Hamburgers and Friend's" he's really cool and like the missionaries a lot, even though he thinks that Jesus was a druggie hippie. Not sure why. But he invited us to eat at his hamburger stand on tuesday, and we got some photos. He's super cool, and said one day, we should jam on guitar and piano in front of his stand. He also knows everyone. Even the police officers will stop´and wave to him, or honk when they drive by. One even turned on the sirens, just to get to the stand faster, then turned them off once he arrived. We're trying to get this guy to accept the gospel, because he knows everyone. We did convince him to put a picture of the three of us in his hamburger stand, so, that's some progress.
On Sunday, it was our turn to eat with the Familia Alarcón. They have 3 daughters, and said they love playing card games. After the food, we decided to show them how to play "Cuchadas" (Spoons) And they loved it. We ended up showing them games and playing them from 1:30 to 5:30. It was super fun, and this family gave us some references. We had a great day on sunday.
Today is Elder Murrane's Birthday, and Elder Carter's was on Saturday. (Elder Murrane is one of my Zone Leaders, and Elder Carter is in the Offices) Both of them are going home at the end of this change. So a family in our ward invited them over for a grand Feast of meat and tortillas. It was super good. We're actually still with them. They're playing pool as I write.
I finished this book that Elder Carter lent to me called, "Believing Christ" and it's been a great book, and you should definitely read it if you have time. It's been really eye-opening about the Atonement and the Power of Christ.
That's really all we did this week, but it's been a fun one. We'll probably be moving house next week. We'll see.
See you next week!
