This week has been fantastic
Well I´m sure you´re
wondering if I celebrated Thanksgiving, well I didn´t, but Christmas has
already been in motion. They decorate their houses too, the only think
that we are missing is snow. It got close this week, we had a cold
wave come thorough, in fact the District Leader told us that their water
tank froze (all the houses here has a big water tank on top of the
house so if the water shuts off you won´t notice) well they couldn´t
shower till about nine. Well it wasn´t so bad for us, Fresnillo is
colder then Río Grande. But unfortunately it didn´t snow, and it´s
already hot again.
As for the work, well it has been slow this week because of the
cold, but that doesn´t mean we didn´t do any. We continue to work
with Francisco, Saturday makes one month free of alcohol :) it has been
amazing to see the difference in him, before he hardly paid attention to
the lessons and was depressed, but now he is attentive and understands
the lessons, he has even started to work again. Well because of work we
haven´t been able to visit him as much, so he asked to postpone the
baptism, so we won´t be having it this week, but we are getting him
ready. His wife Nieves is fantastic, I think she might just be baptized
before him. She even came to church without him, because he needed to
work this Sunday to start off work. She told us that he never wants to
work on Sunday again, what happened is the place is in a rancho (ranch) close
to Rio Grande but there wasn´t a bus going that way for some time so he
had to walk and when he got home he was trembling, he told her that
Heavenly Father was chastising him for working on Sunday. We also
talked to someone in one of those little stores because we were looking
for something, he told us to come back and he would have it, when we
came back we chatted with him and found out that the missionaries had
visited him before, but he lost contact with them, so we are going to
visit with him this week, his story is very interesting, so I will try
to fill you in next week.
Love you all!!
