Semana 19 - Noviembre 2014

Taco count for the week:  4

Total taco Count:  210

My first week in Culiacán=)

It´s been a jam-packed week full of lots of miracles!

I honestly can´t even tell you how different Culiacán is from Mazatlán...

I went from sitting in dirt teaching lessons, picking weeds out of my hair, plugging my nose in the street because of all the garbage... etc.

 Don´t get me wrong, I LOOOVE Mazatlán! There will always be a special place in my heart for that City.

BUT.

Culiacán is TOTALLY different! The houses are huge and super nice! 

I almost feel guilty sitting on the pure white couches.

The biggest surprise to me were the members! The ward is GIANT!!! 

The chapel is even bigger!

My whole area are little gated private communities, super high security.  

We have to basically pass an interview every time we enter!

I wanted to meet the members in the area...

So we passed by to meet everyone. We were with one family and 

he was explaining to me how much he loves to help the missionaries!

He has 4 different chauffeur, whenever we or one of our 

investigators needs a ride

they´ll be there!!

Uhhhh...... OKAY!

I was so overwhelmed with love for these people yesterday during the Sacrament meeting!

I can see how blessed each family is...

yet at the same time they are the most loving and generous people 

I have ever met.

The ward is working so hard to do their part and more than anything 

show their support in missionary work!

I am so grateful for the opportunity I have to be here!

the standard is about 20x´s higher here...

The members expect the best=)

for that...

I am being pushed in so many new ways and have learned so much 

in just one week!!=)

Friday morning we got a call from one of the members, he had set a 

lesson up for us=)

During the ENTIRE lesson, from the moment we sat down to 

the moment we said goodbye, the spirit was ridiculous! 

Everything that we taught was completely inspired!

We invited him to be baptized...

He accepted=)

After that I turned and took one glance at my compy and back 

to him and invited him to be baptized on the 29th...

of this month.

When I said that my companion glanced over at me like I was crazy! Haha

The rule in the mission is that investigators need to have attended 

Sacrament Meeting five times.

That obviously isn´t possible.

My absolute favorite thing about the mission is being able to rely 

completely on the Lord.

When the Holy Ghost tells me EXACTLY what I need to do and when 

I need to do it!

I know this is the work of the Lord=)

I love you all so much and you are all in my prayers=)
