Elder Medeiros: Wooooooooooo WHAT A WEEK! 6 people in church on Sunday!

Thats so awesome you guys went to Elder Castletons homecoming!!! Thats so cool you got to meet him and everything. But yea he has had some interesting experiences...y told me a lot about them. But thats awesome i hope he is good and can get his life started and thats so funny about the woman who thought you were his girlfriend...hahah WOOPS. and also thats awesome with Bronco Mendenhall! haha

Andyea grammy told me about the movie...hahah oh man. Thats really so sad though all of that but darn... the ugly cry with snorts and everything. hah she told me everyone was crying. and dang all that food sounds super good...im jealous.. hahaha but i got good food here too :)

Stake conference here is the 5th and 6th of September and so ill translate with some other american missionaries. Its cause there are some families that only speak english..well at least the kids do so we gotta translate it. Then the 12th and the 13th will be the rededication of the Mexico City Temple so i will be able to see that!

and birthday ideas!! yes! Maybe some more music? Stuff with cool hymn arrangements. Drink mix like fruit drinks or gatorade or chocolate milk.. maybe socks.. a cool book or study item would be cool. A couple photos of you guys would be nice as well!! i just have been seeing the same 20 for a 13 months haha. Also i wouldnt mind hearing more mission experiences from dad!!

Anyways this week was crazy.

First of all the Figaroa family went to church again!!!! all 5! unfortunately we couldnt find them all together for a lesson this week but we talked to the daughter and she is kind of the type who is into science but she told us that her teacher is atheist and that in a class discussion she was defending God AND His church and she told us that she believes that this is the true church. We were all like yes perfect haha shes already a missionary.

On saturday we decided to fast to look for an investigador. Someone who was chosen and prepared. We knocked doors and contacted and we were rejected for literally 3 hours straight by 8 different people or families. Then before lunch we decided ONE more. We knocked..and knocked and no one answered then behind us a girl came up and introduced herself and we started to explain a little of the church and the Book of Mormon then she said "im gonna be honest with you guys.." and we thought great shes gonna tell us shes not interested or shes catholic but she said"ive always wanted to be a mormon. I have frriends and i want to know and be a member...."

WHAT WAHT WAHTHWAHT WHAT.

We invited her to church and she went!! and the daughter of the Figaroa famiily was fellowshipping her as well and everything. the girl is named Maryanna and her mom is interested too and we have a lesson with them tonight!! this week we hope to put 7 baptismal dates! crazy. Also i spoke in sacrament yesterday on the missionary work and the Atonement so that was cool. But wow fasting works hahahahhaa.

Here is a cool scripture i found this week. Its sick and Alma compares the Liahona to the word of Christ and how if we simply follow the Spirit and Him we will not fall. We will not fail. Really the gospel is easy. It blesses us. ONWARD TO VICTORY!!!

44 For behold, it is as easy to give heed to the word ofChrist, which will point to you a straight course to eternalbliss, as it was for our fathers to give heed to this compass,which would point unto them a straight course to thepromised land.

45 And now I say, is there not a type in this thing? For justas surely as this director did bring our fathers, byfollowing its course, to the promised land, shall the wordsof Christ, if we follow their course, carry us beyond thisvale of sorrow into a far better land of promise.

46 O my son, do not let us be slothful because of the easiness of the way; for so was it with our fathers; for sowas it prepared for them, that if they would look theymight live; even so it is with us. The way is prepared, andif we will look we may live forever.

47 And now, my son, see that ye take care of these sacredthings, yea, see that ye look to God and live. Go unto thispeople and declare the word, and be sober. My son,farewell.

LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!! TEAM MEDEIROS!!!!

hard in the paint :D
