November 3rd, 2014 - Crazy Halloween!



Hey!!

It was a crazy week here in Victoria!! We had a church event on Tuesday and it went by super fast. We had some investigators go so it was great to have them there! They loved it!! On Wednesday we traveled to Tampico for a meeting with president!! All of the new missionaries all went so it was pretty good!! We went Wednesday and got there late, so we had pizza waiting for us, and we just went to a house and ate with a ton of missionaries and went to bed!! ha the pizza was pretty great!! On Thursday we had the meeting and it wasn't really too crazy! We just talked with president about life in Mexico! It was good to talk to him and the others because we are all going thru the same things! It lasted about 4 hours and we finished! We had subway for lunch!! It was great!! ha so many American things!! We missed our bus back to Victoria so we had to wait a couple hours and got back late so we couldn't do any tracking! 

Friday was Halloween!! Happy Halloween! ha well past!! Here.... it's real life!! ha all of the kids rather than dressing up, just gang up with each other and fight other kids!! ha it was kinda scary! A couple times we had to walk past them, so we just looked down and walked super fast!! They all started yelling at us, but we just booked it!! It was fun to see the various kids costumes, but not much trick or treating goes on!! Just the dressing up part!! The big holiday here is day of the dead!! It lasted Saturday and Sunday!! So they make food!! tamales, and have there little worshiping thing and say there catholic prayers all night!! 

This week was kinda hard with all of that going on, because when we would go over they would be busy!! Our investigators wouldn't participate in these activities, but the families live together, so the grandparents would be doing it and we couldn't come over!! They didn't want us!!

It was a good/ hard week!! The two families that are perfect just don't have the money for marriage so they can get baptized. They got a little help from the church!! The church is paying for them so we might have a baptism in 2 weeks!! Family Eguia!! There are three that can be baptized!! I so pray from them!! They have a little bit of trials, but hopefully they can make it through and be baptized!! They are great! I love them!! 

It was a great week here even though hard!! My comp is hard working!! I sent letters home!! You might get them when I get home from my mission, haha hopefully not, but I did send them!! ha I love you guys!! I haven't gotten anything yet!! but hopefully soon!! I love you all!!
