Wow, Matt´s home! That´s great to hear. Thanks for the pictures. Looks
like you all had a great time! Last tuesday i talked to an Brother
Corona, He´s an Elder that returned from Villahermos on Monday and lives
in our stake. He said he knew Matt and reafirmed that he got stuck in
Mexico, only he told me that he had heard that it was going to take a
couple weeks to work out his papers and everything. Guess he was wrong..
Tell Matt hi for me and tell him that he nunca dejará siendo un
misionero, y a seguir echando las ganas! Y que encuentre su medianaranja
rapidamente.
We had a great week. We started out super excited after not having
too much success the week before and having incredibly low numbers. We
set new goals and worked super hard to achieve them, and for the first
time in my mission, we did it! We completed with every goal we set,
besides baptisms and confirmations. We worked a ton with with the
members this week also visited a lot of less active members. Our ward is
starting to get a little more excited with the missionary work. We´ve
recieved a few references and are doing divisions every week. Hna Y
is still doing great. This week they called her as the relief society
secretary!! We´re hoping that her calling is going to keep her active
and involved in the church. We´re also teaching her son, D, and
should get baptised next week.
I had told you guys earlier about an investigador named S that
works in our area. We passed the reference to the missionaries that
correspond to him and they are now teaching him in his house. He should
be getting baptised next week as well. We still see him on a regular
basis, he even told us that he wants Elder Roman to baptise him so it
looks like we´ll be attending his baptism! I also had another experience
that strengthens my testimony that God loves us and listens to our
prayers. The day after we passed the reference to the other
missionaries, another pair of missionaries called us from Culiacan to
pass us a reference. They told us that they´ve been teaching a man that
works in Culiacan during the week, but lives in our area. They said
they´ve already taught him all the lessons and has a baptism date for
the first week of November. We visited him Saturday and is super
excited.
Elder Roman and I are still doing great together. He got a little
sick last week, turns out he can´t eat anything that has chilli anymore
in his whole mission. He´s going to have some major problems since they
litterally toss chilli in EVERYTHING here. Mom, you should be greatful
that he´s my companion. He takes really good care of his skin, making
me, as well, take super good care of my skin. He also has an unbrella
and if we´re not walking in the shadow, he uses it. Which is basically
all day long. He also reminds me to put on sun screen. There´s a lot of
people here with really bad skin problems since the majority of people
work outside all day long. It´s a good reminder.
I re-listened to Uchdorfs talk about living a life with no regrets
several times this week and i loved it more every time. He talks about
how we need to enjoy where we´re at and not think about the finish line
before we get there. We´re going to keep working hard this week and find
more people to bring unto Christ!! Love Elder Mecham
