Another incredibly quick but rich week! This week we were able to make progress with all of our investigators, we got a less active family with an unbaptized ten year old to come back to church, got two other less actives to return to church, and we got Efrain down from smoking two pack a day to just six cigarettes a day! Hooray!
Anyways this week was full of other good news, we got the Ilumna el Mundo tarjetas (#LightTheWorld) to share for navidad here, it has been really great to see some of the new Christmas videos of the church and share in our lessons!
Another tender mercy was that we totally forgot it was Thanksgiving, but the lord still blessed us since we got two dinner appointments that day and got fed frijoles charros. Also, this week the other elders finally moved out to their own house and we were able to fix our hot water heater, so now we get to take real showers! (at least until the propane tank runs out of gas)
Also today for P-day our district went rollerblading in probably the most run down rollerblading rink there is. It was all going well until one of the floorboards pulled up and made Elder Barragan fall flat on his face! He was fine though, which is good since he already fractured his thumb playing basketball last week!
Anyways thanks for all the prayers and support, they really do work!
