Dear Family,
We had a pretty decent week this week. First of all, we
had a few changes in our district. Elder Romero went to los cabos and an
Elder named Elder Cannon came and took his spot. Elder was sick and
couldn't work all of last week. This meant that we had to do splits with
them all week so that they could at least work in their area for half
the day. We took turns looking after the sick Elder while the other 2
would go out and visit the appointments we had. It was a good week, but
unfortunately we weren't able to work in our area too much. However,
despite the lack of time, we were able to find an awesome couple that
wants to get baptised! Well they accepted baptism dates, but they still
have a long way to go.. there married and everything, but before getting
baptised they're going to have to go to church without any help from
us, pay tithing, and obey the word of wisdom for one month. We're pretty
sure the husband drinks and the wife drinks coffee so it could be a
little while before they get baptised. Our biggest challenge has been
that we haven't been able to find our investigadors! We teach them once,
the lesson is awesome, they feel the spirit, and after that they
dissapear. Everyone is incredibly busy in Culiacan! They're always going
out to eat or to the movies and other activities like that. There're
too many things to do here! I'm kind of missing the ranches where
everyone just sits in there houses all day.. We've also had a problem
with bringing investigadors to church. The people here are great at
promising us saturday night that they're going to go, and sunday when we
pass be their houses, we find nobody..We have a lot of awesome people
right now, we just need to teach with power and authority and make them
feel the spirit. However i understand that there are always people who
know what they should do, but still don't do it.
We have a pretty awesom district. I've really enjoyed having sisters
in my district. They're a ton of fun and are great missionaries. So far
they haven't had any crazy cat fights and i'm hoping that continues.
Today we went to the Zoo!! It was pretty sweet. It's not too big but it
was definately worth it. Elder Aleman is still doing great. He actually
doesn't have as much support from his family like i thought. There's a
chance i'll be asking for a few things to give to him that he's lacking.
Sorry for the short letter. We are a little short on time, but know
that i love all of you guys!! Thanks for everything!! Love Elder Mecham
