Semana 25- Mercedes Featuring Tech Squad

Honestly I'm too lazy to write but it's been really bittersweet. My district is officially gone because 3 went home and I left to my new area. As... a tech missionary. Which is honestly a bit weird because I was not expecting that at all but I even have a new area right next to Weslaco called Mercedes. Also I share a ward with 6 elders so there are 8 of us in the one ward and then afterwards there are 8 elders in the spanish ward... so it's kinda loco. Also, I was put in the English group which means know I have to pass off all the spanish people to some elders. 

I miss Alice so much and my friends and the members and my companion Martinez but I am starting to love this new area. I know it is because if I had never left I wouldn't have been able to grow at all so it is for a reason. Pero, Alice will forever have a piece of my heart. Now I'm on the tech squad with a district of 6 missionaries and only 4 of us are the techies so there has been loottttss of pictures, videos, facebooking, posting on our missionary pages, and then getting out in my new area. But we do have free range of Excel which I love and we get to watch Chosen!! Besides that, I survived the Roberto Hurricane. It honestly wasn't bad at all. The only thing that happened was getting drenched in lottts of rain. Also, here in mercedes the ward feeds missionaries everyday of the week. All 8 of us. Which is insane. I am so excited to help people in a different part of my mission 2 and a half hours from where I was in a much smaller area. I actually touch the mexican border now and I am so excited about how to better help the people here in whatever way to bring them closer to christ.

Pensamiento espiritual: We Must Raise our Sights by Elder Henry B Eyring
"That mighty change is reported time after time... The way it is wrought and what the person becomes are always the same. The words of God in pure doctrine go down deep into the heart by the power of the Holy Ghost. The person pleads with God in faith. The repentant heart is broken and the spirit contrite. Sacred covenants have been made. Then God keeps His covenant to grant a new heart and a new life, in His time."

 Semano 28- El Baptismo del Junior All right, spoilers guys. Our friend junior who is a college student did not end up going to Houston yet and he doesn't know exactly when he is going anymore and we had invited him to pray if he should be baptized here in Mercedes or in Houston and he just got baptized on Sunday!! WHOOO!! This week has been busy with zone conference, exchanges, lots of people on baptismal date, and just a busy week. We have been finding some really elect people like a girl who was walking her three Legged dog, was on the phone, and it was dark and we decided to pull over and talk to her. She was really excited and wanted to learn more and even came to church on Sunday! There were a lot of things trying to stop our progress with us and our friends. People were getting sick, some vehicles broke down, lots of people ignored us, and we were only finding Spanish people that we had to pass of to the ZLs. (The whole TMM missionaries are called in spanish but half the tim...

 Semana 32- Baptismo Para Dos We had two people get baptized this week!! It was super exciting! Both Oralia a super cute 17 year old and a Grandma names Dionicia!! It was amazing and the spirit was there so strongly. When the ward was singing "Nearer my God to Thee" there were so many people crying and the feeling of joy and truth filled up the whole room. It just made me so grateful for the blessinfs of the gospel and how this will impact the Saldaña family and Dionicia for forever!! While there, the mom Yvonne cried the whole time and next week her two younger sons should be getting baptized!!  Can you image how cool it would be, if you has for example been taught by a doctor and became a pro doctor. Something super cool like neurosurgeon or a cardiologist and then had the opportunity to go back and teach somebody else who became another said doctor? That us kinda exactly what happened with Gloria who is hitting her year mark for her baptism in 2 days and came out with us t...

 Semana 31- Have Fun Storming the Castle It's been super busy this week with basically no time to breath!! It's been super exciting though!! We had last monday the surprise whole mission p-day and then as we were wating and waiting monday night the news came at like 11pm all about transfers.  And It Turns Out That.... Sister Wagner and I are staying another in Mercedes. WHOOO! And my two past companions Sister Church and sister Martinez became STLs. Also Church is now in my zone!! Which means that our zone just became 10x cooler and I get to see her again!! Now imagine how crazy it would be on one day to pack 200 people all together and then have them move all their stuff, stuff in 4 meetings on the same day before 12, traffic backed up all along the freeway, and 2 people running around with cameras trying to be in 5 places at once, and you might begin to understand wednesday. We stacked transfers and the new incoming (greenie) meeting all at the same time. It was super exciti...
