Hola Amigos!
All good things this week. First I gotta tell you a story to give you an idea of how awesome some people are in Mexico City haha. Alright so the other day we were walking down the street to do some exercise in the morning and we saw an old dude sitting on the street using hie cell phone. A teenager passed behind him, todo tranquilo, and then out of nowhere turned around, snuck up behind the old man, took his phone STRIGHT OUT OF HIS HANDS and ran away. I thought it was a joke, but the dude never stopped running! By the time we realized it wasn't a joke the guy was long gone. Gotta love people like that.
But other than that the week was sweet! On Wednesday we did divisions with the zone leaders. I stayed in my area with Elder Santiago. He's super cool. He's from Utah and even though his name sounds Latino he's white. We had some really good lessons. We went with my man Alejandro first, some old dude that asked us to clean out his storage room last week. When we got to the part about baptism he had some really good questions. After we explained everything, he said, "That makes a lot of sense. Who do I have to talk to to get baptized?" Obviously, it was pretty dang easy to set a baptismal date with him. He's excited to work towards baptism! Then we went with Isabel. Isabel and Humberto are super cool. Humberto is her nephew. We taught the Plan of Salvation and they both said that their goal is to reach the celestial kingdom with their families. Right now both are working towards a baptismal date. After that we went with Loyda. She's the wife of a member. He was inactive for a super long time but they just decided they wanted to start going to church with their young family. We were able to teach her the Restauration and we answered all of her questions. She said she wanted to pray to find out if this is the right church for her. She has a ton of faith and spent 7 years in the Jehova's Witnesses church, so it's a little difficult for her, but she says that she didn't like some of the things in that church and that so far she's liked everything from ours. Awesome day.
To end I just want to share a quote from Thomas S. Monson that talks about our potential. He starts by saying that we should never let someone tell us that we can't do something. Then he says, “Believe in yourself and then live so as to reach your possibilities.” I think this is really important for everyone, no matter what it is that we're doing. We can accomplish anything we set our minds to (with some help from God, or course). Set your goals high and work to reach them! The key to thiis life is progress.
Well that's all I got for you guys this week. Have a great week! Love you all!
Elder Warren
