¡Hola!
This week was awesome! On Tuesday we went to Familia Doblado's house again
and this time we made baleadas!
On Wednesday in the morning we went to clean up
Familia Rivera's property a little and take some corn husks that they didn't
need to Mama Lidia so she could use them for fire.
On Thursday we had the
opportunity to attend the temple. It was a great experience as always and I was
able to feel a little closer to my family being in the temple the same day as Eric and Clara
got sealed. That night a member family invited us to eat dinner and they got us
pizza, but the husband wasn't home, so we took the pizza to Elder Lloyd and
Elder Medina's house.
Saturday was crazy because the other Elders had an
activity and we had the baptism and both weren't as well planned as they
could have been so we were going up and down Zacate all day long. Everything
turned out well in the end though.
On Sunday I had the opportunity to give a
short talk in sacrament meeting and the Bishop wanted me to talk about baptism,
but I felt like I should talk about charity instead. As I thought on what the
Bishop talked about regarding mothers and the intermediary hymn we sang: "As I Have
Loved You." I laughed a little to myself as I thought about how mom really has
always been an example of charity, especially with us kids! The best thing she's
ever given me is the blessing of having been born in this Gospel and giving me counsel along the way.
I know that as we have true charity as our
Savior Jesus Christ, sharing the Gospel will become a natural part of us and
a priority. Jesus said: "If ye love me, keep my commandments." He also said:
"Peter (we can put our name here), do you love ME? Then FEED
MY SHEEP!" In our Gospel Doctrine class we watched the Joseph Smith
movie and I know that as it finished the Spirit had testified to each person in
that room, investigators and recent converts, that the Restoration is true and
that Joseph Smith sealed his testimony with his blood.
Later on that day we went
to the church building so Elder Flores could talk to his family and while we
were there a snake went under the door into the Bishop's Office! Fortunately, it was small and wasn't poisonous and we had the keys to get in
there. We used brooms the get it out and then Elder Medina stepped on it. After
he killed it we took some pictures and then I threw it out on the street. The
funniest part though was that a guy was coming up the street in his car and he
saw when I threw it and purposely ran it over and then backed up onto it
again. Then he smiled, gave me a thumbs up, and drove off. The scriptures completed, ha ha! "And I will put enmity between thee and the
woman, between thy seed and her seed; and he shall bruise thy head, and thou
shalt bruise his heel." (Moses 4:21)
Ana Gloria Moreno finally got baptized! We're still working with our other
investigators so they can be baptized and we have two for sure. One is Eduardo
Hernandez, he's 18 and he used to have a ton of problems with the WOW, but we've
seen a huge change in him. We did a pre-interview and all of his answers about
how he gained a testimony were awesome! He's going to be baptized the 23rd and
the other, Juana Bonilla, the 30th. We just need to keep on working and finding
new prepared people. I know they're out there!
We made baleadas at Familia Doblado's house
On Thursday we stopped by a town called Olocuilta to eat pupusas
on the way to
the temple. The pupusa was actually invented there!
The best pupusas ANYWHERE!!!

Familia Moreno invited us to eat lunch to celebrate Mother's Day and Elder Flores' birthday
Was that a snake that went in the bishop's office?
There it is...in the corner under that stack of chairs.
Alright step on it! No...YOU step on it! I know...let's get Elder Medina to step on it!
It is done!
