Kool aid, cowboy boots, and a Pokemon pillow case 5/19

Last week I had almost no time to write but also not that much too exciting has been happening here in Agua Prieta. After three weeks here and almost none of our investigators coming to church we finally decided that we needed to sift through them all and make some cuts. just like Jesus Christ didn't perfrom miracles for the Pharises due to their incredulousness, Jesus Christ doesn't have affect in our life if we don't have faith, and faith means action! So I shared that message a few times this week and almost nobody gave heed so we're going to be looking for a lot of new people to teach! We have already found a family where all but the mom is excited to listen to us, another young lady, and a part member family.Also Emanuel, a friend of a recient convert,has been reading the book of Mormon and been to church activities before but has been sick recently and couldn't come to church.

Also this week we moved houses and bought bikes! With the bikes we get around so much faster and it is good for my bad foot (which is already a lot better) and our new house is dooooope. We had to move because our apartment was deemed unsafe and unfit for mission standards by President's wife. (We were living next to a drive though liqour store which comes with tons of cholos, drugs and loud music and even sometimes the Mexian Military) The only bad part is that the new house is a little bit outside of our area, but with the bikes it isnt a big deal. Oh, also this week we did lots of service for the members of our ward... mostly yardwork but it was a great opportunity to also teach the members and now we have a good group of members willing to acompany us to lessons and stuff. Actually one Hermana after pulling a bunch of weeds agreed to to visit one of her neighbors with us. It was about a 1 minute walk from house to house and her two dogs followed us. We taught for about 20 minutes and when we walked back her dog was dead on the side of the rode. So we then dug a little grave for her perrita right where we pulled all the weeds and had a little ceremony for Chicis. :( Not exactly the blessings we promised her for getting involved in missionary work. 

Also this week I bought a sweet hammock in the tianges (which is a weekly flea market) a switchblade, some koolaid powder smuggled across the border, cowboy boots, a pokemon pillowcase all for like 15 bucks. 

VIVA MEXICO
