I don´t think I´ve ever traveled so much or slept so little. But we sure had fun along the way. We started of the week spending a couple days in Guadalajara for the Leadership Counsel, which as always, was super great. It was a record-breaking 9 hours long, but we all left super ready to change the world. And then, with just a 5 hour lay over in Morelia to sleep, we were off to Lazaro Cardenas. The beach... just imagine Arizona heat with Georgia humidity and that´s about the weather in Lazaro. We showered with ice-cold water and we slept with fans on high. And my favorite was after a late night special assignment with President, he took us out to ice cream...at 11:30 at night. Just some things I never imagined would happen on the mission. But it keeps things interesting. And then today we enjoyed the day at the zoo. It´s HUGE and hardly anyone was there. We even got to pet a tiger. How cool is that? And we got a private tour in the jeep, train thing that passes through the whole zoo. So needless to say, it´s been a pretty successful week. But better than all of that is that one of our investigators, Ruben, is finally going to be able to get baptized! He´s been attending church for nearly 2 years, he pays tithing, and he really really wants to be baptized, but he hasn´t been able to because his wife/girlfriend hasn´t been able to get divorced to be able to marry him but yeah, this last week she finally got divorced and they´ll be getting married this month! And they´re already making plans to get sealed in the temple in a year with their 3 kids! It just makes me so happy to be able to help these people prepare to have eternal families!
I love this work with my whole heart. It´s not always easy, but I know this is where I need to be.
Love you all,
