This week while out contacting, we met an interesting guy. He was so drunk to preface and he began to relate a story. He was pretty boracho and was trying to talk, but it just kind of came out super slurred and he was shouting a lot. So now with that, he started this story. And he told us about how one night he went to bed drunk, and how all of a sudden DESPIERTO, y yo escuchè musica, pero yo no oigo bien, entonce porquè yo escuche eso hermano? Era Dios? Dime por favor. ( And AWAKE, and then I heard music but I dont hear good, so why did I hear this Brother. Was it God? Tell me please) He then went and continued to share the story three or four more times. I chuckled in one of them because he was acting it out and in the end. Elder Sabey and I decided that his neighbor where just playing music really loud. And that was what he was hearing. It was so funny. This week over all has been a good one. It has been getting hotter and hotter. And not to mention the humidity(that part is killing me). So we are kind of at this point where we are always wet. From the time we leave the house in the morning to when we get home at night. And let me tell you it is kind of gross. I heard this before, that even though I am from a hot place, your mission will be the hottest place you`ve ever been. And we still have some more heat to have, but it is bad certain days. We are so blessed to have a minisplit in our house (basically one room ac). Also exciting, we have several families here that we are working quite dilligently with here. One family is the Robles Orozco family, and they are basically a second family here. They are so dang awesome. The mom is a long time member, and the dad is a recent convert. Then the 2 daughters arent members yet, but one of them started bringing her friend to church, and she loved it. She has already read the all of the pearl of great price and she loved it. Its crazy. We are trying to help them feel ready to be baptized by the end of may. Should be a really special one since their dad has the priesthood and can actually be the one to baptize them. Well little by little mission life continues forward. Elder Sabey has had a cold this week, but is doing better and we just are out here working and serving it up. Mission life is definently a difficult thing, but talking to my family yesterday for mothers day makes it a little easier(; Well I love you all so much, Keep trusting in the Lord and he shall prepare thy ways.
