One of our investigators Viviana made me a Pollera haha!
(I looked this up and see that the headpiece is called Tembleque and the overall traditional outfit is called Pollera. I see that style of hat Haley is holding in some of these photos at this link: http://nasvete.com/traditional-headwear-tembleque/)
Haley sent a package back in December and we just got it. It had a headpiece in it for Brynn.
Quinn really loves it though!
Hola Fam!
It was rainy this week, as always!
ALLLSSSOOO Happy Fathers Day!!!!!!!!!! Dad, I love you so much and I want you to know that you're the best dad in the world!!!
I dont remember too much, but at the beginning of the week we had tons of reuniones in our branch. On tuesday, basically the entire day was meetings! We had Ward Meeting Council (I think that's what its called in English) and it was funny because we've been lacking the support of the members lately, so the elders and us went in there super ready to get on them annnd they totally turned it back on us! One of the Elders got really mad and it was super funny, and also kinda sad to see us fighting so hard to get member help. In the end we won, which was great! We've got a lot of plans that I think will really help us!
Thursday the dad of Hna Sofia Vernal passed away, the lady who was with the Jehova's Witnesses when we were there. And I was super pumped because she called us, crying and asked us to come to her mom's house to share something and give support. We were super happy to see that she loves us more hahaha! But it was really cool being able to go see her whole family and share with them about the Plan of Salvation and the BOM. I love seeing the Plan of Salvation really apply so directly and see how it really is a Plan of Happiness!
Later we went up into the mountain to visit a family who the dad has been an investigator for 10 yrs. We started talking about temples and then his wife told us he actually doesnt know anything about the Plan of Salvation. We were so shocked! Turns out he always is at church, so all the missionaries before me have always thought that he is a forever investigator, but really he has never had the lessons! So we are super excited for him!

That night we also had an activity and Fernando came! He is really progressing, and he is praying right now to know if he should be baptized. Keep him in your prayers!
On Saturday we were walking around, looking for people and we realized that this group Jehovah's Witnesses were following us! Legit they were walking right behind us and laughing at us and stuff. I was pumped thinking "persecution!!" but my comp did not like it haha. We hid out in a chino to get rid of them.
Sunday!!! Remember those super smart little girls?? They came to church! They loved it and they all want to be baptized! We just gotta talk to the parents still haha. Pray for us!
No time, but love you sooooo much!!!!!!!!
