Mormon.org Does Missionary Work

Hope all is well down there in Mexico (actually I think it's still up)! 

This week was awesome! We got a call from the Elders of Totolac saying that they had just taught and put a baptismal date with someone that lives in our area. Her names M and she looked up the church on mormon.org and found the missionaries number and asked them to teach her. She went to our baptism this week and went to church, and in our last lesson asked if she could be baptised sooner! Miracles exist! She was even asking us what are the hardest questions we get like attacking the church so that she could prepare herself to answer them. The lessons are super weird because she already knows everything from what she's read and just wants to know about like deep doctrine hahahaha. She's like 30 pages into the BOM already. 

This week we had the baptism of C! He was so happy and started crying when he shared his testimony after the baptism! He got baptised on his 12th bday. His parents are divorced so he wasn't gonna be able to go to church this week to be confirmed because he was going to be with his dad who's not a member, so we were stressed but we had another miracle! He showed up alone! Hahaha how many 12 year olds are there that are so determined to go to church that they travel almost an hour in public transport alone to get there? Now we just gotta get mom more hyped! She makes awesome jello though. 

My companion and I are staying another transfer here in Tlaxcallan! Should be another transfer full of miracles and baptisms. 

This week the Carnival started. I will have to get some pics this week, but it's like a big party that lasts like 3 weeks I think and they dress up as the Spanish with white masks and feathers on their heads and dance around and close off big roads to do so. They also play really loud music late at night and early in the morning. Kinda sounds awful from how I just explained it, but I love it honestly. Gonna buy one of the masks but I think they are very expensive. YOLO though right? 

I think that's about it. All good here.

Love
Elder Lethaby


Questions Answered:

Want me to do anything for Caleb and Boston? Something I should get them?

Heard they are Elders now! Not too sure, maybe tell the missionaries to call them and get them to go work with them.

Opportunity to do service this week?

Only thing that comes to mind is helping an older lady who was trying to get a huge suitcase in a very crowded bus haha

When you think of the people of Mexico, what are some of your first thoughts?

La coca (coke) and regatón music hahahaha can't really explain it

Favourite scripture this week that taught you the most?

3 Nephi 9: 20-22 being like a little kid. We taught a couple that are fighting right now and she's preparing to get baptised so we taught her and him about being humble and willing to forgive and forget :) came in handy in my own life too.
