Mijo Came!

Well this week was dope. We white washed the area and they left us zero notes... lol so picking Mijo up and bringing him home to a big surprise was hilarious. I'm in La Joya, finally near my district, it is the best thing ever! I'm training Elder Newns - just stepped off the plan last week and he is super great. The Lord has got me this time, new area (and they left us nothing, but its really just a clean slate;), three greenies in the district and so on lol lets just say this last week might have been a slight bit stressful lol. But life is all good:) 

Chavey & I with our new trainees who were MTC comps.

Elder Newns is great! The guy's down to try anything I love it. To quote him this week on how some Mexican candy tasted "This tastes like packing peanuts covered in dirt! I really don't get this whole chili thing here.." Lol I love him. 

This week was great we got to have another MLC (mission leadership conference) and so I got to listen to Prez open los cielos for a couple of hours - it was amazing! This week we saw a lot of tender mercies from the Lord. The second day we couldn't even figure out what our area is so we called a member and managed to get there off most of a map that we found. Well we sat and ate with them and as we talked three other families from the ward at different times just walked in and turns out they are some of the most bomb members of our ward too! One even said after conference she had felt inspired to share the gospel and had a friend that she wanted us to teach! 

We also walked right into a less active member this week and invited her back after months of being away from the church. Miracles like that happened all throughout the week so it was a really great blessing. There is a ton of work to be done here but the Lord has given us the tools to make it happen and I know He's behind this work! I love you guys and please share the gospel this week!
