que paso!! me encanta aqui en tekax, y veo muchos cosas cada semana que
son potentes. i feel like i m losing my English slowly, because
sometimes it is soo hard to speak in English, sometimes when i teach
there is a word that i forget how to say, so i try to think in english
but that doesn't help because i cant remember in English. but its okay
and i dont care because im mexican now... when i meet someone new here or
in merida i tell them im from the republica dominicano, or brasil and
they are are like whoa, then they catch on to the half greengo accent i
still have and then i tell them actually where i from, and that im from
peto which is another pueblo really close to hear, and then they give me
another look and then say fine.... soy greengo. it is pretty funny every time and really gets them talking. boy do i love being a
missionary! every day i see new things and things that are so powerful!
this week out water pump broke again, so we gave our keys to a person on
the street who is paid to watch us everyday, i know freaky but he is
nice, but we gave our keys to him so our pump could be fixed during the
day. and when we got back later at the end of the day he wasnt there, so
we were locked out side our house without anything. so we walked to the
other elders appt. and slept there on the ground, the next morning it
was time for church, we had a ton to do, but couldn't, we said a prayer
asking for help and how we could get into our house like 1 hour before
church and we literally had a "the best 2 years" moment and the phone
rang during our prayer after we asked for help and we ended the prayer
and it was our landlord, telling us he got back from merida and for us
to pick up the keys! boy what a miracle right! jajaja
it
rained a lot 2 days this week especially when walking to sandras and
getting soaked. our investigator sandra, is actually fulfilling her
"compromisos", i don't no how to say that in English. but she is reading
now, and coming to church more. and from these past 4 months with her,
seeing her from the beginning i can really see a change in her and her 4
crazy boys! she is always smiling and this week we taught her how to
fast and we fasted with her to help her husband to accept the lessons.
its hard to explain over email but its amazing to see the big change in
her, and the thing that also really touched my heart this week, was a
letter that a little girl along with her mother we are teaching named
Flor. she gave me a note, and it is the picture that i attached, but its
so cute because she doesn't know how to conjugate verbs yet, but in English it says "elder wasden, thank you for coming and changing our
lives, with much love, flor" but that carta or note, really opened my
eyes and made me realize how the gospel really can change so many lives,
just like that family, i have see their progress from day one and it is
getting better, there family is more united and she invited us to teach
her other daughter who lives on the other side of town. **la verdad, me
encanta la obra misional y por la oportunidad estar aqui y ver los
cambios en familias por el mejor. amo el evangelio con todo mi corazon y
que puedo predicarlo y compartir mi testimonio con otros personas cada
dia. yo se dios nos ama y que jesucristo es nuestro salvador, y que
gracias a el tenemos la oportunidad a regresar con nuestro padre
celestial y vivir juntos como un famila grande! les amo mucho y espero
que tengan un buen semana!
con carino o mucho amor
