No recibis ningun testimonio hasta despues la prueba de vuestro fe

Hey everyone we had a fun crazy week here in Apizaco.

We were able to have exchanges with our district leaders whose area is about an hour and a half away from ours in auto bus so we had to travel their and i traveled their and back 4 times which was a little much but its fine ha ha it went well. We were able to work hard and help them out a lot.

This week we didn't really have a lot of lessons or a lot of people progressing so it was really hard. and Friday was especially one of those days were in the morning we didn't have anything so we went to a part of our area that we haven't visited before and door after door and person after person we were getting rejected.  But I kept saying the scripture in Ether that says we don't receive our testimony until after the trial of faith to myself and my companion and we just kept going and going until one of the last people we contacted showed a lot of interest and we were able to talk with him and his wife and his daughter for a little bit and we have an appointment later this week so we are really excited to see what we can do with them.
 

Then Saturday was the same a lot of our appointments fell through until our very last one when we went to visit a reference from the other missionaries close to us and we were able to put a baptismal date with her and she is really excited to learn more as well.

And then Sunday we had invited lot of people to church and I mean a lot but only one of the people that we invited came but one of the sisters in our ward found a family when she was on her way to church and they came and we were able to put a baptismal date with the mom and her daughter so we literally went from having nothing to having 4 baptismal dates and 3 people in sacrament meeting which honestly was such a big blessing for us.

I know that sometimes the Lord is going to test our faith to see what we are made of but He will never give us anything that we can't handle or bear and I have really seen that in the mission. Because I've been tested to the core sometimes and that is when I can really see the hand of the Lord in our life.

Love you all and hope you have a great week.

Hey everyone I hope that your week has bee great, I had a super interesting week here in Apizaco.

To start off with we almost didn't have any time to work in our own area cause we had interviews with the mission president and had to do baptism interviews for our district leaders and then we also had zone conference so it was hard to work here in our area but we really saw the hand of the Lord this week blessing the people in our area and we were able to have a lot of lessons in the short time we had which was awesome and just blessings after blessings for us here.

In our zone conference our Mission President talked about how we should use the Atonement in our lives to become better missionaries but i think it doesn't only apply to being missionaries but it applies to all of us i think we often take the atonement for granted and really don't appreciate all that Jesus did to suffer for us and to help us come closer to Him.  So I invite all of you this week to try and apply the Atonement more in your lives to become better people and to live the gospel better.

We also received a notice that a May elder Holland is coming to our mission and that we are all going to have the chance to meet with him so we are all really excited to learn from him and we are going to have to study his conference talk so that he doesn't get upset with us ha ha .  But its such a blessing I've always wanted to meet Elder Holland and now that I get to meet him as missionary its going to be sooooooooo much cooler.

Love you all and hope you have an amazing week.

Well Now we can call Home......

Hey everyone this week was really interesting.  First off we got the notice that now we can call home and talk to our families.  Which is going to be cool to do.  I was able to talk home today and it was nice to hear everyone. 
But its also going to be something that we are going to worry sooooo much about in our mission and in my zone cause their are a few missionaries that might ruin it ha ha .  But its awesome.

This week was really difficult for us we didn't really have a lot of success.  We had a few appointments with members to help them out and ask for referrals and those worked out super well so this week we are going to go see how everything goes with that.  But it was a week full of knocking doors and contacting.  We also saw a few miracles.  Here in our area.  First off a few members brought family to church and they were super interested so we are going to see how everything goes with them and we were able to put a baptismal date with one of them there during church for 2 weeks from now so we are going to visit her a lot over the next two weeks.

Also this week is going to be the busiest week for us because we have a lot of appointments and we also have to go do some baptismal interviews for some people in our zone that have areas super far away like 1 and a half or two hours away in bus so we are going to see what we are able to do.

Love you guys and know that this church is true.

Hey everyone this week was super awesome to start with happy birthday Mom!!!! and second we had 3 baptisms on my moms birthday so that was my birthday present for her. 

This week was full of a lot of traveling we had a few meeting with the stake President and then exchanges with the  assistants and then exchanges with one of the areas in our zone to do a baptism interview for them.  So we spent over 7 hours in a bus over the course of this week which wasn't that fun.  I don't like traveling in buses h ha it stresses me out and makes me super tired.  But the good part is that we don't have to travel that much this week so we are going to have more time to work in our area.  I was able to learn a lot during exchanges with the assistants. 
They taught me a lot and it is always good to learn from other missionaries.

This week we had the baptisms of the family Macias it a mom with her two daughters The mom is Mercedes Macias, and her daughters are Ana Karen Macias and Diana Paula Macias,  And they were all super excited for their baptism and have really grown to love this gospel and this church.  The ward has really included them in all the activities and its been super awesome to see how much they are progressing and learning.

Also we made pancakes last night and they were really good.  So we were both really proud that we made pancakes without messing up ha ha.

But this week has been super awesome and I'm excited to see what more we can do here in Apizaco.

Con amour
