Mexico-Week 37

Hello everyone!  This week Hermana Perez went home. She was officially back in Guatemala on Wednesday. Life’s been interesting with that. The house felt empty so we moved everything around so that we don’t notice it as much. It’s weird to not be in a trio...

But, I am still with Hermana Ibarra so that’s awesome. She’ll be finishing her mission at the end of this transfer so I’ll probably be here this transfer and the next :) the members are going to buy me a house lol Just kidding.

This week was full of miracles and problems. One miracle - we found an inactive who is willing to give the church another shot and she loves to sing so we are putting her talents to good use.  She is teaching the members to sing the hymns :) and, her friend that convinced her to leave the church in the first place moved away, so there's a lot better chance of helping her :). Octavio is going to be baptized in April! The whole ward has come together to help him find the answers he needs and to show him how the gospel can bless him in his life. 

Hermana Ibarra has decided to learn English and to finish her master's in Utah. (She might have to come live with us mom - you'll love her) 

Our problems: Luis’s brother  who’s 14 years ran away from home to live with his girlfriend. So, he had to go home the week of his baptism to look for him. You can imagine the problems he is having with his brother for taking him back home (Luis is the one who found him)... :(   So, his baptism will be put off for another while yet... :(((((

We were able to go to the Bishop’s house to cook.  I made zucchini bread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :DDDDD

 

In our Mexican aprons- cooking

IT WAS SOOOOO GOOD!  I’VE MISSED IT SO MUCH. I ALMOST CRIED!  But, seriously, we got to take it home and it was so yummy!

Thanks for the package Mom! :) When we went to send off Hermana Perez I asked for it :) CHOCOLATE AND TWIZZLERS OH YA! We had fun with the St. Patrick's Day stuff.

 

Love, Hermana Talbot
