Hola Mamá, well it’s been a long week but it’s finally Monday! My comp and I got transferred mid-week to another area but more on that later. After p-day ended last Monday we were able to contact around our area and were fortunate enough to contact someone who told us where a member family lived. We went to say hi and introduce ourselves to the familia Aguiñga. They were awesome enough to give us tips, talk about the area and give us phone numbers for the Bishop and other Auxiliary leaders. I know it was Heavenly Father guiding us to them and am so grateful for Him and the Holy Ghost.
Tuesday we had a district meeting where we talked about teaching families so we can baptize families together. We were also visited by the new APs Elder Davis and Elder Mencia. Things are still supposedly changing a bit so we just have to wait and see and try to enjoy the ride at the same time. After district meeting we were able to contact the whole day and were able to find 12 contacts and meet a couple families as well!
Wednesday we contacted more and found some really solid contacts. One was a woman who told us she was studying with the Jehovah’s witnesses but when we started talking about the Book of Mormon, that really sparked her attention. I showed her the Book as we were talking about it and she asked if she could look at it. I told her she could and she could keep it so she could read and study it. At the end of talking to her she very happily accepted another appointment on Friday so we could go back and talk with her! That was really awesome! (unfortunately we got transferred before we could do that)…
Around 10:30 Wednesday night, we got a call from the zone leaders telling us we needed to pack up our things because we were going to change to a different area. I thought they were joking at first but yeah, no. We had to pack up. I didn’t get to bed until 1 in the morning. Thursday morning we had to finish packing and leave by 8 a.m. After a meeting at the offices, the APs gave us the keys to our new house, a telephone and then sent us off. Our new area is Chilpan (B) in Tultitlán, that’s also known as Ciudad Labor. After we arrived, we explored our area a bit. Thankfully we have a map to help us. We were also able to meet with the Bishop. Our new house is pretty sweet and our area is pretty big, there are only a few parts we should avoid, but it seems like a great area. We are praying that after 3 more days and after buying food and what not, we don’t get transferred again. I’m scared to unpack! 😁
Friday we met up with the bishop so we could get a copy of the member list and a list of people who aren’t baptized. We tried to contact a few investigators but they didn’t answer so we mainly contacted. We were able to find quite a few contacts so that was pretty awesome. For lunch we went to a Comida economica where I’m pretty sure we met the nicest lady in the world. Her husband, daughter and her run the Cocina. It’s a really good place with home cooked food and because they are just super nice, loving, caring people to everyone. My companion and I agreed that if we ever receive money for lunch, we are going to go there to eat. Also, I want to come back with my family and eat at this place!
Saturday we had quite a few appointments from the Elders who were here previously but they all fell through, so we decided to explore our area and got pretty lost. After a bit of time we found out where we were and how to make our way back and we were still able to find quite a few more contacts. We did get a hold of one investigator on the phone who told us he would be at church. We don’t know what he looks like because he wasn’t home when we passed by but we’ll figure it out. All will be well.
