Maxcanù (7 Months)

Its been another great week here in Maxcanù me and my comp have been working hard and having a bit of success. Today we went to Oxkintok again that was pretty fun and when we were walking to the internet cafe we ran into a group of drunk guys and as we were walking by one of them said "Its an American, I`m gonna kill him and Donald Trump" So i went back and shook his hand and said "Whats up Brother, when are we gonna get you to church" Then he said " Do they have beer there?" haha super goofy here in maxcanù but I`m loving it. My Companion is super super Goofy but it is kinda fun cause the days go by fast.


We have been teaching a few new people and one Alonzo is the husband of one of our investigators we finally got him to listen to one of the lessons and so we taught him about the restoration of the church and the book of mormon. We gave him a book of mormon and Invited him to read it and when we went back he had a verse of scripture written on his wall and had read a whole bunch. He also told us if he didn`t have work we could visit him everyday! The book of mormon is my favorite tool here in the mission because it is one thing that no other church has and just reading the book of mormon brings the spirit so strong, its the keystone of our religion because if the book of mormon is true then Joseph Smith was a Prophet and if Joseph Smith was a Prophet then the church is true. We have been finding a lot of new people just with the book of mormon. He wasn`t able to come to church yesterday but hes super interested and hopefully we can get him and his wife ready for baptism!!

Another person we have been teaching is a guy named Saul hes super super dope the first time we taught him he told us he had been waiting for someone to help him fix his life. We have been teaching him and hes been really interested and he has a date for baptism he just needs to go to church one more time! He has been telling all of his friends about the message we share and we have been able to teach one of his buddys and he is also super interested. Saul is super dope and hes really interested about the mission and hopefully after his baptism he`ll keep going and go on the mission. The mission work is rolling and I`m loving it here hope you all keep reading the scriptures everyday it will help you in everyway. Love you all

I don´t even know where to start haha. I got off the plane last tuesday with about 30 other missionaries, and half of them were going to my mission. We took a bus to the mtc and I got to know everyone going to my district and I liked most of them but there was one kid who I didn't want to have as a companion because we had nothing in common. I like to play sports he liked to read books, I like to be outside, he likes to read books haha. But of course we got assigned to be companions and I had kind of a bad attitude about it for my first 2 days and those were the longest two days ive ever had. I prayed that I could come to love my companion and that day we listened to a talk by elder gong and he was talking about the importance of having a good relationship with your companion. He said to stop focusing on the things you didn't like about your companion and to focus on the things your companion was good at and since then its been great. Ive come to love the things my companion is...

We have quite a bit of people progressing were hoping to baptize a few more here in Maxcanú. We have a baptism coming up this week for saul! I was talking to him and hes going to turn 17 this week and I asked him what are you gonna do when you turn 18 and he told me he wants to go on the mission. I was super pumped haha because he still hasn't even been baptized yet super awesome. We also had a multizone and I got to see some of the elders in Progreso my old area and they told me that the converts are starting to work hard with the missionaries and help them get more people to teach and progress.
