Hola Todos,
So
there was not a whole lot that went on this week. We had a lot of
really good first lessons with people at the beginning of the week, but
then everyone left for Christmas.
The rest of
the week has been pretty blah. We had a baptism to go to in my comps old
area on Saturday, so we got to go on a little bit of an adventure. We
went to Chimalhuacan for the baptism. This was a little scary because
this is a much more dangerous area than La Paz. There are Santa Muerte´s
everywhere, and that is what makes the crime go up. The belief of the
Santa Muerte is that if you do something to someone and they get injured
or killed, it is because it was there time to die. If they live then
the Santa Muerte was not ready to take them.
So
that was a little interesting being there. There were a lot of cool
members, and my comp had a wonderful time visiting his old area. This was
the area that he got shocked in and I was able to visit and meet the
family at the house he was zapped.
Other than
this, the only other exciting thing this week was the new investigator
that we got yesterday. Her name is Fatima, and wow is she prepared. She
was a referral from a friend and we met here at the church last week
when she attended for her first time. We met with her this Sunday and
taught her her first lesson. The crazy thing though is that she already
had all of the folletos and has started El Libro de Mormon. She set her
own baptismal date for the 31 of January, and says that she has already
prayed and knows that it is true. She is awesome and I can't wait to
teach her more!!!!
Other than that, the week has
been pretty normal. We ate some good food and talked with lots of
people. And on the metro I found Reese´s and bought 10 of them because
they are very rare to find here.
All is well, and the Spanish is continuing to progress.
I love and miss all of you and can't wait to hear and talk to you on Thursday and next Monday.
Con Mucho Amor,
Elder Mason Millar
