So Nacho and his "wife" broke up. We began our lesson, and he told us what happened. It was super sad, but it was a long time coming. He has been cracking jokes about how he has to find a nice "Mormon woman to marry", those jokes were of course made all throughout conference. Oh Nacho.... I really liked something he said after conference though. He said,"I just feel so much love and joy. I want my family to feel it. I wish I could convince them to just come, and feel the spirit here. I know that this is the true church. I am sad that I am having to travel this journey on my own right now, but I hope that one day they will see how happy I am, and follow me."
This week was a week of apologies. I had to apologize for being a brat to the elders. It's hard to be nice to them, because they act like dumb little boys sometimes. However, I know they are representatives of Jesus Christ, just like me, and I need to treat them as such.
We taught Cesar the word of wisdom on Monday, so then he spent the week trying to quit smoking. We invited the elders quorum president to the lesson on Wednesday. He was super late, so we ended up just teaching another lesson. Finally he shows up, and he brought the obispo, and another brother! It was perfect! They were able to give him a priesthood blessing, to give him strength to quit smoking. The other brother is a gringo, who served his mission in Kentucky, the tobacco capitol of the world. He gave him a bunch of tips, like using cinnamon, because apparently if you eat cinnamon products and then smoke, it makes a nasty taste in your mouth. The next day we came to the lesson armed with cinnamon gum, cinnamon candies, and other cinnamon stuff. Hahaha.
"I'm addicted to chocolate and tacos". -E.Q. President. Then he invited us to go and eat taco's with his family! He called us at 8:30, and we met a taco truck! My life was changed forever. I might be a taco addict now!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They were the best street taco's of my life!!! "Look. Have you ever seen a sad person eating taco's. No!!! Taco's make people happy!" Hahaha.
I met a guy named Bacon this week. That was cool.
General Conference was amazing! I received so much personal revelation! I have been a little worried about what I am going to do with my life after my mission. A lot of those questions and concerns that I had, have been put to rest, which is a blessing!
I am grateful for this amazing work! I am so happy that 2 of my beloved brothers will be entering into the waters of baptism this Saturday! I love Cesar and Nacho so much. I have learned a lot about the grace of Christ the last couple months. Because of Christ we can literally change who we were, and because better people. We can overcome addictions, and temptations. The grace of Christ covers all the children of men, we are all God's children. I am grateful of the love that our Eternal Father has for us, it is a great blessing to serve Him, to represent Him, and to help people change their lives through Him!
Have a great week y'all!!! Les quiero! I am praying always for you!!!! <3 <3 <3
