The Sabbath Day is a covenant that we have between
us and "When a community or nation grows careless in its Sabbath
activities, its religious life decays and all aspects of life are negatively
affected.
Thanks for everything that you are doing Mom, and
for your great example. I'm super excited to have a nephew! Sorry- I told Dad
How excited I was about it, but I guess I didn't send it in my letter to you.
That's wonderful!
Well- in two weeks we have found 11 new investigators. We have
found family members of members that we have always visited that aren't
members, and their family never gave the referral. We've been working super-duper
hard, and we're getting better every day. We're having lots of fun and learning
a lot together.
And to Ken he wrote: I forgot to tell you last week- but I must thank you for a contact that
we made last week. We were passing by a cake shop when I heard "battle
horn." I turned and saw that the man was on his computer. I recognized
that sound-he was playing Age of Empires. What a surprise. We started talking
about the game, and we had a lesson about the Sabbath day in that moment. We
found that he was good friends of someone in the ward. He is very open and
accepted baptism-sadly the sister missionaries are now going to teach him
because he lives in their area, but it was a cool experience- and I thought-
Thanks Dad.
The work is great- and I've studied a few times this week about
charity to get myself more consecrated and loving.
WANNA KNOW SOMETHING REALLY COOL? WE WENT TO THE
TEMPLE YESTERDAY.
So...maybe it wasn't the temple temple-but it was an extension of
the temple. Remember when I said that I saw a temple dedication while I was in
the MTC? The same thing happened here but with the Mexico City Temple. It was
awesome. President Eyring dedicated the temple and Elder Holland was there with
him. It was fantastic. We saw the dedication in the stake building which was made
an extension of the temple for a day. We also got to see the cultural
presentation Saturday night. It was all about the history of the Church in
Mexico. They did a great job. One day I'd like to be in one of the church
theater presentations.
Well- We're going to have a meeting for the new
Elders and trainers tomorrow. I'm pretty excited. It should be good. Lot's of
things are happening! For the first time in all of the time that I have been in
this area we have investigators that are progressing. WHAT WHAT! THAT'S SO
AWESOME! Hopefully everything will go smoothly. One of them is Atheist but
super willing to know-and she already prayed about the Book of Mormon and got
an answer- just that she isn't sure. Another has been to church about a million
times and accepted baptism-like-accepted-not like a tentative plan-like he
already has a testimony. We are so excited. There are Miracles that are
happening here. These investigators are ready! I love it! We'll keep working
hard and we'll keep learning. I am so glad to be here with Elder Corral. There
are things that I wouldn't be learning if I were in any other situation.
Well, I love you guys. I hope that everything is going well.
ALWAYS GIVE REFERENCES. DON'T WAIT UNTIL THE MISSIONARIES FIND YOUR FAMILY AND
FRIENDS AND BAPTIZE THEM. SEND THE MISSIONARIES-IN FACT ACCOMPANY THE
MISSIONARIES TO THEIR HOUSE AND INVITE THEM. You can see that I feel very
strongly about these things. It's wonderful when we find new investigators- but
I can't imagine how sad I would feel to find that my friends are accepting the
gospel and that I never invited them. Just a thought. I'll be sending so many referrals
when I get home. Sorry for the random thought-it's been on my mind lately-
because it's already happened many times.
Love,
Elder Dazey
The first picture is
one of those giant things that men swing upside down on. And it's huge!
They do a big party here called the Atlixcayotontli- look Atlixco up in
youtube-it's cool.
