Wow these past two weeks have been
awesome. I just have to warn you guys that this blog will be mixed with things
I have done in the last two weeks! Last week I didn't have much time to write
so I will try to make it up!
Wednesday and Thursday from last
week I had the opportunity to work with one of the assistants, Elder Johnson!
He is a funny and chill person to be with but don't get me wrong, he is a beast
at teaching. During those two days I had the opportunity to learn a lot from
him. He taught me how we are here to teach the Restoration, so our purpose as
missionaries is to get to that point as soon as possible. Sometimes, we
complicate our teaching so much! We want to teach everything else except the
Restoration. That day was a blast and everything I learned I started to apply
ASAP. The rest of that week I did other things but for some reason I forgot lol
Ooops!
So on Wednesday this week I had the
opportunity to travel to Palenque! There was a special conference because a
Doctor came to give us some tips on how to be healthier. In these past 10
months I have only been sick once but for less than a day. Usually at home
whenever I would get sick it would take me around three days to get better
(that's including taking Mexican Medicine aka the best). I can honestly say
that whenever we come out and serve with all our heart, might, mind and
strength, god will watch over us. If we are obedient we will see the blessings
and it's amazing. That's the same in our lives. If we are obedient and follow
the commandments we will see the blessings. It's not easy, but it's worth it.
On Thursday after the conference I went to Tenosique to go work with Elder
Urbano and Elder Gale. It was a fun time to be with some amazing Elders. They
have been working super hard and they will be baptizing today. In Tenosique
they live with two others, Elder Jenkins and Elder Carneiro. Elder Jenkins is
from Utah and I met him like six months ago. I met him when I first was
transferred here in Villahermosa. Elder Carneiro is the first Elder from Brazil
to be serving in the mission. I actually took pictures this time but not with
my camera Lol #Ihatemylife. They will be sending me the pics soon
(hopefully).
Yesterday night we went back to
Palenque to help out the sisters with an interview. We were so close...... SO
close to staying there today to go to the ruins but we had a baptism. That's
right, you read it right! Today Maggie and Alejandro were baptized! It was
sweet because just last week they didn't want to do it. They felt like they
weren't ready although they were feeding us every week lol they also would
never miss a Sunday from going to church, but I'm so glad they finally were
baptized. Since we baptized we are going to celebrate with a Torta from Tortas Del
Barrio!
Okay that is it for today! I hope
everyone has a great week! Peace!
Elder Najera
