Hola,
This week was great! We had 21 member present lessons and
a whole lot of fun. Our ward did a 2 day party to celebrate the 16th of
September (like 4th of July but for Mexico) and a lot of our investigators
came!
Friday night was a dance and dinner and Saturday was a
Kermés (fundraiser where they sold food (free for missionaries)) and a bunch of
folkloric dances from Mexico and Guatemala. They had carne asada tacos,
tostadas, elote, mole, arroz con leche, agua de horchata y jamaica, and a lot
more. It was awesome. Ivan came both days and his kids loved it. Also, our
investigators Armida, Joseph, Angelo, Valeria, and a few more came.
On Monday, we did a family home evening at the church
building and invited investigators and lots of families from the ward. We
taught about the Book of Mormon, then ate food and played fútbol (soccer). It
was way fun and Ivan had tons of fun. Also, this new couple named Araceli and
Alvaro came, but they didn't play soccer.
And on Sunday night, it was the new convert devotional in
Mesa and I did the translation again. So lots of fun stuff this week.
Ivan's doing great. We had a lesson with him after the
fiesta on Saturday and he is awesome. He's already part of the ward basically
and is friends with so many of the hermanos. He goes and plays soccer with them
all the time. Just a few more weeks until he saves up enough money for a new
apartment and he'll get baptized.
Armida came to church on Sunday for the first time and
loved it. We had a lesson after church and taught her the plan of salvation. (I'll
attach pictures) She's still going strong in her Book of Mormon reading in
Alma.
Transfers were this week, so I'll be in Phoenix with Hna
Irizarry for another 6 weeks at least.
I took a lot of pictures this week. I'll write more in
explanation of my pictures.
Have a good week.
Love,
Hermana Gubler
