But onto more important things, this week we took some pretty good steps forward. Jorge officially has another baptismal date for this Saturday. And we have been working alot with the parents, and we have been recieving support from his dad, so Everything should go very well with that.
This week in Mexico was Dia de Muertos, so if any of you have seen Coco. You know a little bit about what its like. Here in the north where there in more american influence it is not as big. But the cemeteries look very pretty with all the flowers and its a very big a cool flower day. To explain a little bit, they put up altars with pictures of family and put old clothing, and sometimes they put out their favorite foods. Everything is covered in the orange and purple flowers and its super pretty. Its a cool time because people start asking questions more about what really happens after you die. And then we can help them find these answers a little bit more readily. Its a good time to be a missionary and to help people.
We had a super fun time doing exchanges with Elder Sabey and Elder Pinedo this week. They came over and worked with us on Thursday, and then we helped them work in their area of Friday. And it was really fun and awesome to work with some other missionaries, and learn from them as well. We also ate more chile piquin, as well as chile serrano. The serrano was not that spicy, but the piquin was. Those little guys hurt your mouth. But when in Mexico.
So this week, I pushed hard to finish the Book of Mormon in Spanish for the first time, and I only made it to Ether 9 (missing like 36 pages) so Ill have to finish it another time. But in so doing, I have come to have an even deeper conversion to the Lord thanks to this holy book. Its true, its all I can say of it. It is the most true book on the planet. You can know just by reading and feeling the still small voice of the spirit tough your heart. Its amazing to hold such a book in your hands, and even better to feel the power in your life. I know and testify of the truth of The Book of Mormon. I know it is true with every fiber of my being.
Lots of Love,
Elder Smith
