Climbing a really steep hill in one of the colonias in our area
Field that we found this week for soccer (our area is so big that we still haven't been able to see it all)
Soccer game going on (EVERYONE plays soccer here)
We found a totally cool barbecue area and pool way up above a community that was abandoned. Time for some mish parties.
I
received the birthday package! Thanks to
the family. The socks are way fresh. This week, I’ve been trying to hit it way
harder with the scripture study. I
finished Alma and Mosiah. I have spent all my free time reading and I’ve
felt the blessings, no doubt. Yesterday,
(Sunday) we had a great day and we felt it was a direct blessing of
reading. We first went contacting and met
a way cool lady. She was really receptive
and we’re going back next week. She also
told me I looked like Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic. Pretty legit, right? She probably needs glasses haha.
We had
two really good VAP’s (lessons taught to less actives/recent converts), both of
which were less actives that are coming to church next week. They haven't been in the church a long
time. We are going to their house
tomorrow for a Family Home Evening and they’re making us baleadas. We then contacted a house that we had always
passed by but never stopped there. They
were super cool, and we set a return appointment.
Our
last appointment was with Idalia. She is
getting baptized this Friday along with her two sons. She has been working a lot to support her
children, so we’ve passed by her house and she hasn’t been there for awhile
until this night. We taught her the Word
of Wisdom, as well as the Law of Chastity, and she gladly accepted to follow
the commandments. She said she drinks coffee several times a day, but we can
tell she has a strong testimony because she accepted to drop coffee cold
turkey. We have the baptisms of her and
her two sons on Friday, (which happens to be Elder Dipko’s b-day).
Overall,
it was a good day and a better week.
Somehow, I managed to catch a nasty cold though. Today we had plans to go play soccer but our
zone leaders changed and canceled it so we have no idea what we are doing. Oh well, we’ll figure something out. Hope all is well with y’all in the States, and
I will report back next week.
Love,
Elder Cox
