Back in Magna

Hey familia y amigos!

We had a solid week week! It's been really weird but really fun to be back in my first area. It's been cool because some of the people that we found or were working with and then dropped when I was here the last time because they weren't ready, are ready now and want us to come back! Of course there's lots of other people that still aren't ready to hear the gospel, but everyone has their own time. Most people in the ward still remember me as well since it's only been 3 months since I was last here. 

On Monday night, my last night with Elder Andersen we had five missionaries in the apartment! We had to go pick up two missionaries from the mission office and find a place for them to sleep at our house, then go and pick up Elder Cienfuegos, Elder Andersen's new companion. It was a late night...and then on top of it we had to wake up at 4:30am to take an elder from our zone to the mission office for his departure home. :) Later on on Tuesday I parted ways with Elder Andersen and met up with elder Page in the mission office. I spent some time unpacking and then we went out to work! We got to see Hermana Andrade again; it was a different home without Jose there though. 

Wednesday and Thursday we had pretty uneventful days. On Wednesday we had several visits, a stake correlation, and dinner outside with hermana Zepeda (she always spoils us). I got to know her pretty well last time around.Thursday morning we had an awesome first lesson with an older Catholic guy from Mexico. His name is Juan and he has noticed a lot of things about Catholic doctrine that he doesn't think are correct. Him and his wife are both really open to what we have to share. Interesting side note is that last time I was here we taught their daughter the restoration while we were helping her wash her hummer...she wasn't interested at all then but since that time she's gone through a lot of stuff and so she's very open to talk to us now. :) Only problem is she's super busy with work, so it will be a little hard to talk to her. We also had weekly planning ( :/ ) and had a lesson with a recent convert named Sergio.

Friday we started off the morning with a zone training! It was just an hour long, and we're going to be having one at the beginning of every transfer now, which is pretty cool. Friday we also had an awesome lesson with the Moreno family, and put them on date to be baptized. We have to help them get married though, but that's something they're already working towards so we're pretty hopeful :)

Other highlights of the week:

-We put another family on date! They're staying with their family who live in our ward.

-general comference! We took our recent convert Sergio to the morning session. Also my companion and his last companion sang in the priesthood session choir. It was made up of a lot of people I've served with here

-today we went laser tagging, and then cleaned the house and went shopping. Good day :)

Love you all! Hop you have a good week!

Love
