Hey guys! We have officially finished our first week of the transfer in Puerto Penasco. This week was pretty interesting and I have a lot to tell you guys! Penasco is truly a magical and interesting place. To start, in my area there are NO paved streets. EVERYTHING is sand. It is pretty crazy. I have never experienced something like Penasco in my entire mission. The weather is pretty cool here. It feels like really humid but we feel the beach air so its pretty nice.
We have been teaching a lot of families. This week we taught a lady named Maria that wants to be baptized. We invited her to read and pray about the Book of Mormon and she did it and she told us that she knows its true. Right now she is going through some hard stuff with her husband but we are trying figure things out so that she can be baptized. We taught her about the Spirit and Elder Bednars videos ¨Patterns of Light¨ and we talked about revelation. It was a super rad lesson.
I had some crazy things happen this week! When we went to eat yesterday at lunch, as we ate cockroaches were walking on the table around our food so that was cool. I got to kill cockroaches as I ate lunch that was a first. Also yesterday, we were teaching a man on the street when all of a sudden his wife came and they had a huge fight. I literally thought they were going to fist fight in front of us and we calmed them down, taught them, and then we took their beer so they couldnt drink it. We asked the guy ¨Hey would you like us to take your beer so you can start to change now¨ and hey told us yes haha. It was pretty cool. This week also an american family came to church and they helped us with some rides to take investigators home. I also got to speak in church. It was a pretty cool week. I love Penasco. It was a pretty normal week and we are going to have a lot of success in the next few weeks. Our zone had two baptisms this week and we will have 6 this week! I love you guys thanks for your support!
