Another wild week of intercambios and nuevos! This week we knocked out two of our intercambios all in one week. We had a good time with the elders, and were able to see two that are from the newer generations and how they view the mission coming in with relatively fresher eyes.
Another super sweet/funny occurrence happened with one of our street contacts, named Porfilio, who actually turns out to be super strong in the spirt. When we began the lesson he started off explaining why all the other religions are false and basically taught the great apostasy word for word. He then accepted the Book of Mormon as word of god and accepted a baptismal date! The only downside is that he'll be in CDMX for three weeks, but he promised us that when he gets back he'll be ready with a testimony!
Among other interesting things is that I've gotten my companion hooked on Mountain dew, even though he hasn't actually tasted it yet. He's just heard so many "good stories" about it that we went looking in three different stores to find it but nobody seems to ever have it. Oh well, maybe someday!
Anyways, thanks for all your love, support, and Christmas spirit!
Love you all!
