March 5, 2012

Today we went to visit the pyramids in Cacaxtla as a zone. It was cool, but my companion suddenly starting bleeding from his nose like crazy after (he´s been a little sick and it was really hot and really dry today) and we got way behind in our other planned activities.


The zone leader council with the president was on friday and sister reeves made us sheperd´s pie and a giant chocolate chip cookie cake. It was delicious. Apart from that there was an announcement that really made me jealous of all the other missionaries that aren´t going home at the end of this transfer. On April 14 Elder Bednar is going to visit the mission. He visited the mission almost two years ago and a lot of my generation got to see him, but I was still waiting for my visa in Utah. So, I´ll never get the chance see an apostle come. That reminds me of another announcement I keep forgetting to tell you about. A few weeks ago, President Reeves notified us that the Mexico Puebla Mission will be divided the 1 of July into the Mexico Puebla North Mission and the Mexico Puebla South Mission. It´s pretty exciting news because it means that the work is really growing here.


Sunday was excellent as well. Four of our recent converts bore their testimony in sacrament meeting, and everyone could feel the spirit. We went way over time. Everyone wanted to go up. Besides that, one of the very special people we´ve been teaching, Claudia Marquez, went for the first time. The day before she accepted a baptismal date for the 17 of March. We were going over the law of chastity when suddenly she blurted out, so when am I going to be baptized? We couldn´t believe it, because she hadn´t even gone to church yet. Moises Paredes who just got baptized a couple weeks ago is a counselor in the sunday school presidency and Miguel Angel is the secretary.
