Elder Medeiros: Good ol' Monday Morn!

GOOD MORN! haha

man these weeks sure do seem to be going by real fast am i right or am i right? Craziness. BUT SO EXCITED CAUSE THE HOLIDAYS NOW START!! :D Im so glad to hear you guys are gonna host thanksgiving this year!! Sounds like its gonna be sick. Some good stuff. But im glad to hear all is going well at home!! Good stuff and love seeing all the holiday traditions and what not.

But man oh man this week was cray cray and we had some cray cray experiences. I' ll onlytell the good ones lol haha

but first of all we had 9 INVESTIGATORS in the chapel yesterday!! It was sick!!

Well ok FIRST FIRST of all on monday i went to La Cuesta and i visited Elder Kofford! He is a beast. In their ward they only have 30 members but he is doing great. Thats where we met teh scooby doo dog. It was humongous i thought it was going to eat me for sure but i got the best of him and got the photo. ftw. And we ate some good quesadillas. ALSO we found and contacted a woman that was the lead pastor of her church and she told us that she was the prophet because the Lord spoke to her in a dream and i was like uhmmm.... thats not how it works.. haha

THen i came back on tuesday but we contacted a woman who is part of the Pentecostal church and she ws saying how she only believes that Jehovah is the Father and in Jesus and the Holy Ghost.... so we kindly took out our scriptures with her and helped to explain the Jesus is Jehovah and that God the Father is different and so literally five minutes after affirming her stance she declared "I knew Jehovah was Jesus i have ALWAYS said that!!" then we taught the Restoration and showed her how it is possible for a prophet to see God. That was cool. BEAST MODE 1

We also contacted a guy named David. Hes 22 and super super shy but we taught him prayer and he did his first prayer and thanked God for his "new friends" and said he would ask work off to go to church with us. So he did and he went with us!!! Then we taught him lesson 1 and he ACCEPTED A BAPTISMAL DATE for jan 2!! BEAST MODE 2 hahaha.

ANOTHER family we found this week is the Espinosa family! So here in Juarez there is something called the Segundas. They are like street stores and on the weekends everyone puts up their stands and sell food or clothes or anything like SUPER cheap. (btw we love the segundas) anyways we saw a woman who is always in her house selling stuff so we went and talked to her (this is saturday night btw) and we were talking and she said her kids used to go to a church so we called the kids out and watched the He is the Gift video and the kids loved it and wanted to go to church with us and then the mom said ok thats fine ill take them tommorrow and we were all "we want you to go to!" and then shes all oh if i take my kids im going too! So they went the next day to church and we hadnt even taught them yet!!! BEAST MODE 3

and then we got to church and the 2nd counselor asked us to speak on the spot so i spoke on the grace of Jesus Christ beast mode 3.5 haha

anyways so yea good week and we finally got a heater for our house and thats kind of good actually thats really good cause our house is colder than it is outside so yea. also just doing all my duties as ZL and this week is busy cause we have the leadership meeting then a zone meeting we have to give on saturday so....yipee... haha.

anyways. that was my week!!! In my talk i shared Moroni 10:32-33... i know its a really known scripture..but i love it and the fact that we are imperfect and we have weaknesses but we can be sanctified and made clean and perfect through Him and His grace. Amazing. If we mess up...its ok.. He has paid the debt. Thats why He lovingly tells us "Follow thou me" or "Keep my commandments" . He is the best. haha

LOVE YOU ALL AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Alma 34:38 Live in thanksgiving daily. Also if you can see the talk by Elder Nelson from 2012 i think called let us give thanks to God...something like that hahaa

TEAM MEDEIROS!!
