This week it rained like every single day, haha the
streets and everything were completely flooded. The streets were so
full of water! Like we just were walking in water up to the bottom of
our calfs. So crazy, but so fun!
This week we found a ton of people! We are teaching
a really cool family, the family Carrera! They just moved here from
another part of Matamoros and they are super cool! They love going to
church! This week the daughter cut her foot open
pretty bad playing and stepped on a big piece of glass. I cleaned it
and bandaged it up. I felt really good that I could help her! We also
found a lot of other people that came to church with us, but we’ll see
how their progression goes through this next week!
I really like Matamoros. It’s so big and I feel
like I’m always a little lost, but that’s okay. It’s going to be an
adjustment, but I’m ready for it. We live in a small little house again.
It’s a room to study that’s together with a little
tiny kitchen, a bathroom, a bedroom and a room for bags and clothes. We
have two bunk beds pushed together and that takes up like the whole
room. We all get along super well!!! We eat a ton basically with
members! They are super cool!!! I’m going to have to
start doing more exercises.
This week we ate with a really cool lady whose
husband had passed away. She talked to us for a while about her husband
and how faithful he was. She told us that he had a phrase and what she
told me really impacted me! What she asked was...Are
we converted to the church or are we converted to the gospel of Jesus
Christ? If we are really converted to the gospel, we would live much
differently, then just going to church on Sunday. I love being a missionary, because I have so much time to dedicate
to the service of the Lord, but there are so many things that I can still improve and I’m excited to do it!
Haha this week I ate a ton of chile. On Sunday oh man I woke up not a happy man. Let’s just say I’m gonna take a break from spicy food for this week, if I can.
Pics from this week… a picture with the elders of
my house.
Taking a picture with a pineapple (they call the pretty girls
here pineapples who knows why haha).
From when we got soaked in the
rain, when a member gave us a ride in the back
of his truck.
Love you guys a ton!
