Keep Praying

You will never guess what happened. On Monday we got told that a senior couple were coming to Talhualilo to help us out and that the Elder has been a branch president 3 times before so he was coming to be branch president. That's right people I am now serving with the mexican version of Grandma and Grandpa Roberts. Haha they are named Elder and Sister P, and to be honest I could not be more happy, the extra responsabilities we had were taking a lot of our time so President Ramos decided to help us out because we are actually having a lot of success with the investigators here. 

 

They will be focusing right now 100% on reactivation and retention. HAha so we spent a lot of the week introducing them to all of the members here in Tlahualilo. HAha I never realized how freaking fast we walk until we had to show the misionary couple around and I would start walking normally and after like 2 minutes I realized they weren't right next to me so I would look back to see where they had wandered off to and I would see two little dots on the horizon trying to keep up....oops...hahah.   

President R. (Mission President), his wife, the district president and like 6 other leaders all came to lil Tlahualilo to sustain and set apart President P., more priesthood than Tlahualilo has seen in....ever...haha. 

We have had really good lessons this week with our investigators and they are all progressing really well. April is looking to be a months of baptisms every week, gotta just keep praying hard and helping out our investigators. God has done so much to help us, when we got here we had nothing, NOTHING. All the other elders told us that being sent to Tlahualilo is like going to outdarkness in the final judgement...hahah yikes, needless to say I was less than thrilled when I showed up. 

 

But after three months of working our hardest, literally there are days when we are running from appointment to appointment, we have 0 time and right now we have 7 investigators with a baptismal date and a lot of others that are listening and changing their lives. We started  lessons with these people hearing how they would never come to our church, how they didn't know how to read so how could they read the Book of Mormon, how the Virgin Maria is more important than Jesus Christ.... and I'm not kidding at this point we can't get to appointments fast enough. 

The Lord really is giving and has given us soo much here in Tlahualilo. Keep Praying
