Xochicotla

Hey! Everyone

I just got back from some sweet pyramids! Xochicotla is this really cool place where there are a bunch of ruins of pyramids and stuff. Hopefully my mom puts a ton of pictures from it on. We went with the other area and it was really fun. They even let us in free because we are missionaries! Anyways I took lots of pictures haha.

So this week was really good! We had interviews with the new President. I loved being able to talk 1 on 1 with him and get to know him better. I’m really excited to keep going strong here. I complete 1 year in Mexico this week! Wednesday I have to go to Cuernavaca for my visa and stuff.

So yesterday we had a not so great turnout for people in church. I think there was a lot of people on vacation. We have been working hard though this week. Yesterday in the afternoon we found a cool family of 7 though to teach! It was just an appointment we had set and we went and taught them. They are ¨catholics¨ but accepted our message really well. They had really honest questions and we had some members with us and were able to answer them really good to get there confidence. It’s really exciting and we will see what happens.

Personally I’m doing really good. I had a reflection moment this week. I’ve seen so much change in myself and I’m really excited for my future. I learned a whole lot more about the love that Christ has for all of us. The hymn came to my mind I Stand All Amazed. I don’t really remember what it says in English but in Spanish I remembered it. I am amazed how much Christ loves us. His sacrifice was so hard. I think of what I’ve been through and I get to know people and learn what they go through and then the fact that Christ went through all that x 1000000?? I stand all amazed. I really am excited for the Day of Judgment, I want more than anything else in the world to be able to show my appreciation for what He did for me. That’s why I’m a missionary. Anyways that’s what’s going on here.

I love you guys and all you have ever done to support me, whoever reads this :P. Have a good week everyone!


Love Elder Marrott
