Worn out shoes, strong families are rare here.

Dear family,

Wahoo! Congrats to Tyler and Nicki and the family! Super exciting. Uncle Elder Tan Tan Thomas still alive.

Nothing too exciting this week. We have this one guy progressing named Omar. He has gone a few times to church. We are planning his baptism his Sunday. We also have this 16 year old guy who is the boyfriend of a member who is progressing. The people here give directions to their house a lot more than an address, but if they are home when we visit or their addresses exist is another question. We are trying to find more people to teach. We have FHE with members every single day this week, so hopefully they bring their friends to the FHE. 

Honestly, this week wasn’t very eventful...sorry.  My shoes are coming apart (both the black ones and brown ones), so I might need some new shoes. We were looking today, and these Mexican shoes don’t match up to Eccos... Maybe I just buy them so you don’t have to send shoes.

Yesterday the 3rd hour in church was about the gay marriage being passed in the states and the Church’s opinion. It is interesting because everyone recognizes that the US is the most powerful nation in the world. What we do is what the rest of the world will follow. It is too bad that this is the example that we are giving. A strong family with a father and a mother is so rare here in Mexico. I am so glad that we have a strong family.

The only cool story this past week was there are some recent converts who have had some bad spirits in their house and it is from all there crosses and creepy dolls they have. They told us to get rid of these for them. We talked to this one member in the ward who told us to burn them to get rid of the bad spirits.  So last night we had a bit of a fire. It was kinda fun.

So yeah that was my week. I have my district meeting tomorrow. President called me and said he wanted to come to a few minutes of it....ehhhhh. Oh boy. Hopefully it goes well.

Love you!
