The picture from last week was during companionship study. We were in what we call the artic room, cause we always have the ac running and seal it off and after like 30 miutes it gets around like 40 degrees. Its awesome. I was laughing my head off at something we were joking abou, but i cant remember what it was.
Well we had a solid week, and we needed it because we are going to be in Merida for a bunch of meetings and training starting tonight until thursday. We had 2 baptisms! Finally! It was the daughters of the family we have been teaching. The dad, Gumaro, is way stoked to get baptized as well, but he has to get off the juice (coffee). Its like liquid cocaine for him. The mom is a different story as of late. She could just care less. But once she sees her whole family changed and baptized she wont be able to deny it much longer.
We knocked a neighborhood we had never been in this past week. While doing so, we came upon a house that looked like nobody was home. Here in the peninsula, its so hot and so few people have air conditioning that if they are home they leave their front door open. Well this door was closed but we decided to knock it anyways. A lady came out and we introduced ourselves ad the whole sha-bang. She told us she was interested in listening to us, but was about to leave and had only 5 minutes. We started off by talking about how we all have problems, but it doesnt matter what they are since Christ and the gospel can help. I remember specifically thinking that was strange since as missionaries we look for clues as to what might interest them in the gopel and we could ver easily see all the pictures of her kids and that her house was a lot nicer than most others. The family was an obvious in, but we went the other way with it. 30 seconds in, she starts crying. She stops us and tells us that literally 1 minute before we got there she was talking to a friend on the internet and she was telling her about how hard a time she was going through since she had lost her job a few months before and now they had to sell their house and everything. Her friend then told her, "Dont worry, God is going to knock on your door very soon". Then we showed up. We havent been able to go back and see her yet, but we are really stoked to see how it all goes.
Im drawing a blank for other things to write. So im just going to finish up there. Sorry for my extreme lameness. OH! I know Dahlin and Connie think they are too cool for school now that they are getting married and all, but i still have not heard jack from either of them. COME ON! Show a brotha some luv. They both have a letter from me on the way, but who knows how long it will take...
Pictures this week include: A crazy storm that rolled in that looked like it was going to consume campeche, overflow birthday festivities, BAPTISM, and "the mormon bus" after church (a member of the ward is a bus driver and took a whole bunch of us home after services)
Have a great week!
Love,
Elder Kitterman
