Hello friends!

Well this week was absolutely fantastic! 

So we met a new family this week, The Grimaldo family. They are incredible. They are passing through quite a few challenges right now, mostly economic problems. It is a family of 4. The dad got fired from his job a while ago and they are having a hard time getting up off their feet. There oldest son had to drop out of high school because they could not afford to have him in school, and the father had to find another job in a liquor store I think. Not the greatest occupation, but at least they are not dying. The whole family went to church this week, and really liked it:) They currently have a baptismal date for the 28th of this month. They are really special, and just need lots of prayers so that they can receive their answer and enter into this covenant with the Lord. What a joy this work is:)

So Chucho also came to church this week, and is super excited about his baptism, which is also for the 28th. He is also very special to me and truly has a great desire to be a good kid and walk in the footsteps of the Savior. There are not very many 12-year-old's like that in this world these days. He just needs to stay on the path! Lots of bad influences surround him and he needs to always use his agency wisely!

Mew and my companion are having an absolute blast and I am loving it out here!

So like I said we went to Teotihuacan this last week. It was amazing! I went  a year ago when I was in Zumpango, but let me tell you it is a whole different story when you go with a BoM guide. It is connected to the temple! It strengthened my temple a ton to see how everything was connected and real world evidence of the Nephites! The guide told us that the pyramids were part of the city of Ammonihah. It is so clear! Christ came to the Americas! I hope that all of you can come one day to see the great evidence of the temples of God here in Mexico!

Well I think that the most touching story of the week would have to be that of the Perez family. This week in ward council someone commented that they had seen them walking back from the chapel to get back home. That walk is about 20 minutes by bike, going pretty fast, and they have kids ranging from 8 months to 18 years, 6 of them. What a great dedication they have to the Kingdom of God. They do not even have 2 months as members. And I, being a member of the Church all my life, used to complain about going to church in our nice air conditioned van. It amazes me how much of an example this family is to me! What great sacrifices they make to express their faith to our Lord and Savior!

Well I love you all and hope that you and I can all dedicate ourselves completely to this great work! Always be a testimony of Jesus Christ in all that you do!
