Semana 6- Pues, pues, pues

Una semana mas! And then I officially enter the real mission life in endless heat, oh and Spanish and scorpions. (Not sure how I feel about the scorpions). As for random things, there was a MTC laundry thief that stole one of the Hermana's clothes. It has thankfully magically reappeared a week later. Moral of the story: don't be a thief and don't ditch your laundry unattended.


One of my companions was able to go for the next 36 hours to Houston, Texas to get her visa. It has given me a taste of what freedom could be. Me? Well, I'm still here. I have been able to listen to some great devotionals and really dedicate my time to learning Spanish and to work on spiritual studying. (Individual studying is definitely one of the highlights of my week).

The title of this week comes from a random Spanish speaking Elder who slightly knows one of my companions. He decided that the best way to greet people was to creepily say this as we were walking to class. "Pues, pues, pues. Mira quien tenemos aquí." I honestly felt more fearful than I have in my entire life.

I was able to fast this Sunday and that was very spiritual to do here at MTC because I have never been in a place with so many people gathered together and with a purpose. I went to el templo otra vez!! I honestly am going to miss going to the temple weekly once I am out. I will probably be lucky to go twice a year. Chao for now!! Wishing you all the best from Provo, Utah!

FOTOS!

 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...
