Hello everybody,
What an amazing week!!!!
On Monday I was really prudent with my shopping and only spent 60 pesos on food, that’s less than 4 dollars!!! So I really didn’t eat much breakfast in the mornings!
We had a family home evening at a family’s house but for nobody showed up, until like an hour later, so that was kind of disappointing. Turns out that nobody received our text about where it was going to be. So shucks!
Tuesday was really amazing!!
We had a multi-zone conference with President George and the assistants. The assistants had a really good section about how we should invite people to baptism and president George roasted all of us, he told us that we need to clean up our language and that our thoughts and words need to reflect who we represent, Jesus Christ!! But after that we had a few fun activities with the zone leaders and Sister Trainers. It was really good to see my trainer Elder Prows again, he’s an amazing elder and I look up to him a ton, he received a kind of disobedient companion last transfer but it looks like he’s straitened him out! The stake fed us some really good lunch!
So Tuesday night we went over to the zone leader’s house to sleep and the next morning we were going to go plant a ton of corn as service. SO we ordered a pizza, and it came and was missing the Mango sauce, HOW do you forget the mango sauce!!!!! So they came and brought us a new free one WITH mango sauce!! So twice the Pizza. The next morning we woke up and the service canceled on us, so yeah disappointing. But fun sleep over.
Friday we had an amazing lesson with our investigator Gabi, She Told us some amazing news, She Decided to get baptized!!! But that her parents still haven’t decided if they want her to get baptized. (we have not met her parents yet cause they are never home, and are both doctors and work from now to forever) So yeah she told us that she wants to get baptized this coming Saturday the 4th of July and we were like OK Sounds good!!!
Friday we also had a baptismal interview that we needed to do in suchiapa about 35 minutes away, so we went to a spot where all the conbies (bus van things that fit like 20 people in them and are really cheap) going to suchiapa pass, but ALL of the Conbies were full so i just start flagging down every single car that passed, and eventually about 10 minutes later, a car pulls over, and we hear "Elders!" and then in English he said "where you going" we told him where and he said hop in. So we hitch hiked to our baptismal interview and had a great conversation in English for 25 minutes. He lived in North Carolina for 9 years!
Saturday was Truly Phenomenal
We had an amazing baptismal activity were our zone baptized 9 people!!!
So the activity started at 5 but we had asked the investigators to be there at 410 so we could take pictures and so that they could change and that we could start on time. SO Chari scared the heck out of us by showing up 7 minutes before 5, but we got everything taken care of. It was a really beautiful event, all of the missionaries, sisters and elders were dressed in totally white, and our zone leader Elder Fackrell ordered all the elders White Paisly tiesa that Had our zone name embroidered in gold on the back!! So we looked good! But we had a little devotional before where the stake president spoke and also our bishop, we then proceeded with the baptisms, Elder Lambert baptized Chari and after she finished she was like "That’s all, oh that wasn’t bad at all" pretty funny, but she had a really good experience.
Love all of you
Elder Pugmire
