April 30, 2018 (Week 31)

Another one bites the dust...

This was a week sure full of suprises which now that I look back on are funny, but at the time were very interesting...  Two weeks ago me & elder Scoresby had a great time, two times we felt to knock on some random people's door even though we usually aren't supposed to do that, but both of the times were miracles with people super prepared to hear the message. 

Anyways, after we had all that success, I found out I was getting transferred to open(whitewash) a pueblo area out in the state of Aguascalientes.  So after riding on a bus for 2&1/2 hours, arriving, getting rushed onto another bus for another 50 minutes, we finally made it to Villa Juarez.  The last elders didn't leave any information at all, so we had to ask around until we found out where we lived, then had to get on another bus for 20 minutes to get to our food appointment, and then come back and finally unpack our stuff, all in one day!  Anyways, the people are really good out here in the pueblitos, we are basically starting from scratch, but the few members we have are very devoted and we have already seen many miracles with finding some great new people, one of them walked up to us and straight up asked us to teach her! 

Anyways, the meetinghouse is pretty humble, it used to be an old restaurant so the primary uses the old kitchen and the relief society uses the old bar, and the renter is a Jehovah's witness so he has a truck parked in the backyard with JW pamphlets on the dash, but you can feel the spirit very strong there, so in the end the surroundings don't really matter.  Anyways, we're primed to have great time out here, thanks for all your love and prayers!
