July 30, 2018 (Week 44)

This past week was a pretty dang solid one.  We got working hard on finding lots of new people with potential, focusing a lot on individuals and families that have a reason to be interested in the gospel.  We were having pretty normal results, when out of the blue one of the members who lives in one of the furthest always pueblos called us and asked us if we could teach his son.

Turns out it was a miracle from the Lord, because he was super prepared and committed to reading the Book of Mormon and going to church all in one lesson, and then he actually made the hour and a half trek in the buses to come to church!  He´ll be in Mexico city for the next week visiting his family, but we got him an appointment to visit the visitors center in the temple in Mexico city!

In other news our branch is finally able to start up the self reliance classes so now we can start the pilot program and contact people in their businesses about coming to the church to get the self reliance classes.  We first contacted a guy we know who has a shop, and right when he saw the pamphlet he asked us for five of them and gave them to all of his friends, and told them that he knew that these are the best administration classes in all of Mexico!  Who knew!  The Lord really, really prepares people!

Anyways, I love each and every one of you, see ya next time!
