Hello Family! 

I feel like I just barely emailed yesterday. This week passed by so fast. I like this area and the members are really good to us. It is super hot! But one day we were in a lesson and it started pouring rain!! So hard. Luckily, the person we were with had 2 huge clear bags and cut a little hole for our faces so we could go out in the rain. It kept us pretty dry except for our feet.

One of our investigators has a drum set!!! I played a little bit one day and it made me so happy. In my last area I heard someone playing the drums one time and the next few nights I dreamed about playing the drums haha. So it was about time.

This week we had a super powerful lesson with a boy in our ward whose family is inactive and he has been inactive, he said the bishop and counselor came to his house to talk to him about going on a mission. He told us he wasnt sure and he has fear that he cant teach people about the gospel when he has made so many mistakes. This is the wonderful thing about the gospel, that it doesnt matter how many mistakes we make, because through the Atonement of Jesus Christ we can change and be cleansed of our sins. Everyday we can turn our hearts to our Father and follow the example of Jesus Christ. Heavenly Father doesnt look at what we`ve done, but who we`ve become. During the lesson there was a moment where the spirit was really strong and all 3 of us had tears in our eyes and we asked him what he thought, and he thanked us and said he had made the decision to go on a mission. It was a special experience and I am looking very forward to seeing him as an elder one day.

This week we had Stake Conference and it was so powerful. I am getting to the point where I can understand most things in Spanish. We had a Seventy come (I don´t know what quorum or what his name was, I think an area seventy) and also our mission president spoke and the president of the Merida Temple spoke. Fun fact, our mission president and temple president are brothers!
