Well then!
I never thought I’d have to put on my "deal or no
deal" face, but Sister Reynoso told me to do just that with the owner of
our house. The owner didn’t want to accept responsibility for some pre-existing
damage, so I had to pull out the receipts, call other missionaries,
aannnnnnnnnndddd LOTS of other fun stuff.
Remember. Everyone is a child of God. Deep breaths.
More than mundane details, this week was FULL of
miracles!!! Elder del Toro and I found THREE complete families (father, mother,
children), and one of them went to church without any help. It was one of the
happiest feelings when I saw them all getting out of their taxi dressed up
Sunday-style. The dad’s name is Rodolfo, and the mom is Rosi. They have angelic
qualities, honestly.
We also taught Pablo and his family. After teaching
somewhat of a mix between the Restoration and the Plan of Salvation, he said,
"well I don’t know about my family, but I’ve already decided to go through
with this." Awesome. The family was a referral from a member in Cancun.
During an activity with the Relief Society, we were able
to get 23 referrals in 20 minutes. The sisters were super excited to tell us
about their friends and family who are "probably ready" to accept the
Gospel! We told them to bring their friends to church while we work to set
formal appointments with all of them. XD
ANND as part of the Christmas program we’re organizing,
we talked to the councilor in the stake presidency about options for food. He
said "I’m so glad you came to my family to ask about this. We’ve wanted to
give a gift to the missionaries for many years now. We’ll make all 28 of you
dinner, and we’ll bring you piñatas to break, too."
*jaw drop caused by pure generosity* That’s
pioneer-calibur faith and devotion there.
Anyway, I’m happy, and the Christmas spirit is here (in
rain-form instead of snow). I hope this week is an excellent week for all of
you. May you all be showered with buckets of fun and blessings.
Love,
Elder Carson
