Tuesday: Great day! We had interviews in Chalco with President Zapata. He's so cool! Love him. After, for comp study, we watched the movie, "The Testaments." It's super cool! Everyone, go watch it. Then we went to the cyber cafe and learned about teaching/finding investigators using family history. It was interesting. Later we had a lesson with Solanda, Brinda and Ingrid. Only Brinda accepted a baptismal date, but all 3 are new investigators! Then we met with Enrique Hernandez, who also accepted a baptismal date. So we have 7 investigators now! Kinda insane.
Wednesday: So we haven't notice the Garcia's wearing wedding rings yet and we were nervous that they weren't married (pretty common here). So to find out we just taught them about chastity. Haha. And luckily they are married! Good start to the day. Then the Bishop's wife went around with us and showed us some less actives, some with kids we may be able to baptize. We had lunch with Giovanna. Later, we went to get our clothes which were being washed and found the washer was broken. So we spend 1 1/2 hours hand washing our clothes. That was fun.
Thursday: Happy Thanksgiving! We woke up early and met 3 other zones in Chalco and played American football. Fun times! Later, we went on splits. I was with Elder Santiz, my district leader.
Friday: Super interesting day! So we taught the Garcia's about the word of wisdom and we were nervous because Angeles drinks coffee. Well, we taught them and she said that she'll quit coffee because she doesn't love it anyway! Btw, in our ward, the members can't have Coke if they want a temple recommend... ?? Anyway, after our lesson, we helped Christopher in his garden for an hour. We are homies. At lunch, we had a cinnamon Atole, the mexican equivalent of hot chocolate in America. Soooo good! I love it! Later, we visited the Jimenez family (Brinda, Solanda, Ingrid) and well, story time -- The reason Ingrid (she's 10) can't get baptized is because her father doesn't like the church. Well, the night after our 1st lesson with them, he had a dream that Satan was tempting him and tried to pull him into hell. He woke up (worth noting that he says this wasn't a dream) terrified and he promised to go to church. We didn't go in the room because everyone says his room feels evil. But we did bless the house. A first. Weird experience, but cool.
Saturday: Super slow day. Woke up early and cleaned the church. I'm kinda pro at mopping now! Spent most of the day preparing talks for Sunday. Sadly appointments fell through. So there are these carts that go around all day and night selling biscuits for $3 pesos... super cheap. We heard the biscuit cart (they play jingles) and sprinted out of our apartment and ran down the street. We bought 13 biscuits! Oh sweet mercy, they were good.
Sunday: Gave a talk today. It think it went well. We ate dinner with some members. Then visited with Giovanna later. I tried chapoline (crickets) -- actually not bad, to be honest.
All in all, a great week! I love you all and pray for you!
