Elder Jacob Warren: Week 52

Hey Everyone!

Pretty good week this week. Lots of chamba (work). Last Monday we went with a Colombian woman that we found contacting last week named Sandra. She's super cool. She lives with her husband and her two little kids. They moved her from Columbia like 4 months ago I think? She was really interested in our message and it's always cool to hear a different accent. The Mexico City Chilango accent is funny so change is good. Actually people always tell me that my accent is super chilango and that I talk like a Narco, because I learned how to talk Spanish in Iztapalapa which is super ghetto and the accent stuck. Oops. But anyways we taught her two lessons and she accepted a baptismal date this week! Her only problem is that she works on Sundays. We're gonna have to work on that.

Also this week we went with Karla and Joel (the two school teachers that need to get married before we can throw them in the water) and had a really good lesson. Since I'm leaving in two weeks I told them that I really want them to keep progressing when I leave. We set a new goal with them and they said that for sure they are going to get married in December. They set a date and made plans to get it done. It was great.

On Saturday we had a leadership meeting in my old area, the famous PARAISO. I was so excited to go back there. It was sweet. Sadly I couldn't visit anyone, but the meeting was good. We talked about what we can do to make the mission better. Right now we're really focusing in becoming truly converted, not just receiving a testimony. We talked about how we need to learn how to be true disciples of Christ while we're here and that if someone else isn't being a disciple of Christ, it's our job to correct them. There were a lot of good ideas shared and it was awesome to feel the Spirit in that room for about 4 hours. Good times.

That's about it for the week. Have a great week! Love you guys!
