Week 44: Recuerda que soy Chino

How is everyone!!!!! Guys so much happens in Mexico every day. Its hard to remember everything! To start, someone stole my bike again. We went to a Stake Conference and I left the bike IN the Chapel next to my companions bike. The funny thing was when we left the conference his bike was there but mine wasnt jajajjaja. Oh well.... We had another pretty funny experience with a lesson we were teaching. We were teaching the Plan of Salvation to some kids with these paper dolls my mom used in her mission (thanks mom I use them all the time) and in the set, there are all the pieces of the Plan of Salvation. There are even 2 bodies to use to represent a man and woman. It was really funny becuase we were playing a game with them and they had to figure out where every piece went. The little girl put the two people in the wrong spot and her sister yelled (it was a pretty competitive plan of salvation game) HEY QUE HACES CON LOS CUERPOS (HEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THE BODIES). It was so funny because we all understood, but the door was open and I think that everyone in the neighborhood thought we were crazy when she shouted WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THE BODIES (Whats going on in that house kind of thing) hahaha.

Also, another funny story.... We went to celebrate the birthday of one of our missionaries named Elder Rufino. We were sitting outside of an OXXO (like a Circle K) and this drunk came up to us and started talking to us. He said a bunch of things and at the end he said GUYSS I NEED TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.............(almost falls over)........Remember that I am Chinese AND THEN HE LEFT HAHAHAHHAHAHA. We have some great people we are teaching. Santiago is going to be baptized this Friday!!!!! He is 9 and he knows a TON. We found a family of three that are great. They names are Victor, Vianca, and Adrian. They will probably be baptized too! Also we have Juan Carlos that always READS his Book of Mormon. This area has a lot of potencial. I am always thankful for every person that enters the waters of baptism. Also, Edendira (our convert) went to the TEMPLE. So cool. Lot of good things are happening here. I love you all a ton thanks for all your support and prayers!
