Buenas Tardes a todos,
So my first
week here in this area has been pretty good. Its weird being back in TJ
but thats all right. My ear infection has gone down a lot and i feel a
lot better. Me and my companion are getting along really well, hes from
Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca. Maybe Riley knows him haha.
Its been a pretty great week. We have meet a lot of
new people to teach. We are still working really hard to get referals,
and we have recieved a few, but the majority of the people that we are
teaching are people that we meet outside and start talking to them. We
actaully had a couple come talk to use and tell us they want to listen
to what we teach because the want to change their ways. Its kind of a
sad situation becuase we first meet them, the day before they had been
assulted and were beat up pretty badly. Its a couple both around the age
of 25 and they have a little daughter that spends most of the time with
the grandma because their living conditions arnt that great. The
boyfriend (because theyre not yet married, but have been together for
6yrs) has a problem with drinking and becuase of some minor things he
did under the influence of the alcohol he just about ruined his
relationship and trust with his girlfriends side of the family. They
both really want to change. We share with them how they can be forgiven
and how they can change because of the atonement of Christ. They really
felt the spirit and are really working hard on changing. They have put
the goal of being baptised Sept 26,
that means inbetween now and then they have to stop drinking and get
married and the new rule here in mexico is that they all investigadores
have to go to church 5 times before getting baptized. I really hope
everything works out for this 26th.
More news, we just had stake conference and i got to
see and whole bunch of the people from Industrial ward and they all
recongnized me. It was great being able to see them again.
Well i really dont have much to write but i will send
pics of where i live the next week. What i am sending now is just a few
from Ensenada.
Love you all
Elder Evans
