Lunes

Liz!! Super solid!! 3 other lessons, Jesús is doing well!! Taught him about the preisthood and really liled it. 

Martes 

Service for this little lady in our ward who is pretty disabled after a car accident years ago but it impressively independent. Painted these little shelf things and pulled her weeds. Lesson w Leticia and had fellowship come which was awesome. Patricia has been reading the Book of Mormon which is huge. And we had a meeting with the Stake President!! He is an awesome guy and kind of made me realize even though he hasnt been a missionary for a long time he is still a disciple, dedicating basically his whole life to the Lord. Gave us some cool advice about how WC should be - who needs an ordinance and who will help them. 

Miércoles 

Service for Carmen again!! Armida. Liz! Socorro!!!!! 

Jueves 

Alejandro!!!! So we got a call from these elders who run the FB page and they told us they're was a guy who requested a Bible and lived in our area. We put in his address and he lives way towards the bottom of our area, away from the city and starting to get into the boonies more so. But they said he sounded way cool so we went of course. We pull up on this dirt road to this half finished and there is a dude in a wheel chair on the porch when we pull up. Turns out that its Alejandro and he is actually so dope!! He had the most perfect questions and quite a few ofnthem just about who we are, what we do, and what we believe in. He kept saying he felt like he had met two skinny gueros from Utah but living in El Paso before but he couldn't remember if it was a dream or if it actually happened a few years back. At the end we gave him a Book of Mormon and invited him to read 3Nefi11. We hadn't even taught the restoration yet and most people are so flojo with reading, but this guy texted us the bext morning and asked us if we could come by that afternoon instead of evening because he wanted to talk about what he read!! Sadly he woke up sick on Sunday and couldn't make it to church as the advsersary struck again working against our friends, but he is so cool and we are super excited about him!!!! 

Viernes 

District council, good time! Couple lessons fall and then a couple still we were able to scramble and have, street contacting and calling ppl. Pretty cool! Good day 

Sábado 

Flash food. We picked up dinner and were driving home and legitnout of nowhere it started pouring. The road was a river and we could hardly see haha it was a fun time. We took off our shoes and socks to run through the parking lot lol. Never seen so much water in NM. 

Tons of lessons wow. Wrestled w Mathew to commit him to come to church. Awesome lesson with the new guy Alejandro, he has rhe perfect questions and actually read!!! Legit taught 9 lessons, it was packed. 

At times it feels like a wrestle with people to help them understand how keeping commitments truly will bless them. How when they give up what seems like big things - time, sleep, convenience - to come to church, read the scriptures and pray, that they will be blessed so much more than they can even imagine. 

Mosiah 29 

Trust in God enough to make Him truly the first thing, the most important thing in our lives, letting Him prevail!!
