This week has been pretty bland, but with some nice touches. We spent almost every day contacting and looking for people, with no luck. Most people are pretty content being Catholic here.

But while we were contacting, a lady passed by and asked us where the church was because she was visiting for a few weeks, and she was a member. She and her son invited us to their house to give someone a blessing. The person we gave the blessing to wasn't actually a member, and so we taught a lot about Priesthood authority. They came to a sports activity in the church later that day. Later, the owner of the little store we always go to for food asked us if we could teach him, so we went the next morning to teach him as well. It wasn't much, and none of them ended up going to church on Sunday, but it was definitely the Lord's hand in our work.

We've also been helping out and eating a lot with one of our investigators. Her name is Maritza, and she has two kids. Rubi (20) and Gilberto(17) and they're super cool. They invite us to eat with them all the time, even though they aren't members. They say it's because we serve others, so they should serve us. I'm fine with it.
We went and played volleyball for P-day today, and It was super fun. The Elders in the district are a lot of fun to talk to and hang out with. We don't get to do a lot of hanging out here in the mission, so we enjoy what we get.
The life in México is going fine. It gets a little hot sometimes, but all in all, it's good. Make sure you're reading the book of Mormon often. It will change your life!
