Oh-k buddies hope you guys are buckled in and
ready for some good stories.
First of all I AM
FREAKING OUT BECAUSE ELDER JEFFREY R HOLLAND IS COMING TO OUR MISSION THE 29TH
OF MAY ALONG WITH OUR AREA PRESIDENT OF MEXICO AND I AM LOSING IT GUYS THEY ARE
SO COOL
Apart from that,
changes came! me and Elder Weech are staying in the same area as comps again,
at least for a bit, and we are receiving a missionary! His name is Elder
Cambranis and he is a POWERHOUSE. I was there when he started his mission and
he is just AWESOME. Super excited to be with him and also to work in a
trio.
Two fun stories.
The first one was after lunch with some members. They gave us some tacos,
which tasted absolutely incredible, but, like a good missionary, I didn’t ask
what was in the tacos until after, and at the end of lunch i ask what meat was
in the tacos, and she says ¨pig brains!! ¨ And I went ¨oh, classic Mexico, love
this place.¨ super good tacos from people that don’t waste a single part of an
animal.
Second story.
The sisters of our area were having a baptism, but they were super busy before
it, so they needed us to go prepare the building for the service, which meant
fill the font and set up chairs, the like. Well, we get behind schedule and run
to the building, show up late and start throwing stuff together last minute
hoping we get everything set up before the people arrive. well, crazy
thing happens. When we finally get everything set up and are sitting
there relaxing, we hear a chirping noise coming from the sacrament room.
we walk in there cautiously to find that two birds had entered and were
chilling, enjoying their new environment. Now, I’d like you all to imagine two
white guys dressed like missionaries running around a sacrament room screaming
and waving brooms around to get these birds to finally exit through a small
open door in the corner of the room. And then think those guys are in charge of
a whole zone. Our poor zone.
It was a fun week to
think about the atonement and feel spiritual power work with us. All in
all, difficult but rewarding week. I love you guys, you all take care eh?
Love, Elder Smiley
