Everyone,
Hey!! This week was pretty dang fast! We were pretty busy
getting to know everyone and even had to do divisions with the Zone Leaders. It
was pretty annoying to be honest because we were going to have our first
coordination with the ward mission leader and I wasn't able to be there because
I went to their area...
I learned a lot this week though!! One thing that’s
really nice about going to a new area is you get to meet a lot of new people
and new people means new problems and more things to study and learn about. The
mission is focusing a lot on being good teachers. We can’t get into a routine
of teaching but we have to keep learning new and creative ways and the busier
and active we are the better an instrument we can be in the hands of the Lord.
This week i got to meet some investigators we have named Rodrigo and Lady (haha).
They are super cool. They are married since 3 years and have a little kid.
Rodrigo used to have a girlfriend a while back that was Mormon and she brought
him to church and he really liked it. When they broke up he stopped going but
he got a testimony of the church. When we teach them we focus more on his wife
because she’s Catholic believer? Idk how they say that in English haha. Creyente??
Anyways she is pretty tough and I think she gets a little annoyed because
Rodrigo is always trying to get her to read the pamphlets and book of Mormon
but she feels pressured and only wants to do those things when she really wants
to so that she can get something out of it. They own a tienda and are pretty
busy in that so it’s hard to teach them. We have a lot of help from the ward
when we teach them and I really like it. They are progressing just really
slowly but I can’t imagine anything that would stop them from getting baptized
eventually.
Also yesterday we met a Jewish family!! Its super cool I've
honestly never met a Jewish person here in Mexico. Besides one of the recent
converts from Amilcingo who was in love with psalms haha. Anyways they follow
the Law of Moses like perfectly. It’s super interesting. They have talked with missionaries
a lot of different times but I’m pretty excited to give them another chance. I
think if we were to just focus on the Book of Mormon we will be able to draw
their interest because it’s got a lot of law of Moses and stuff from the old testament.
Well this week will be super good. I’m keeping busy and
growing my testimony. I appreciate everything that every one of you has done
for me in the past and I hope to be able to thank all of you when I get back
more personally.
Please keep my investigators in your prayers. Especially Lady
so she can be motivated to read and find her own desires to learn more. I love you all!! Take care and have a great week!!
Love
Elder Marrott
