Hello!
This week was Thanksgiving! But they don't do anything
here....haha. Oh well! But we had some pretty darn good tacos for Thanksgiving.
Actually I completely forgot that it was Thanksgiving then a member in the ward
told me and I was goin nuts haha.
But today was more of the feast. Today and
actually right now I'm in a town called Tlacotalpan. It's a tiny town along the
river here. We came here and were eating in a buffet. We ate a ton! It was a
breakfast buffet. We ate eggs with steak and shrimp and a bunch
picadas(partially fried tortillas and beans), and bunch of other stuff you have
never heard of. It was pretty darn good.
Then we went to an old theater. We
just went inside and were taking pictures and stuff. It was pretty fun.
But
this week went alright in the work. We still have a family of 5 that are
progressing. They are making me nervous though because they have been acting
weird like they don't want to listen anymore. But we will see this week. Then we
have a guy named David. He is gonna be baptized on the 8th if everything goes
well. He's kinda shaky right now too. Not sure why....he knows everything and he's
a good dude, he is just nervous to be baptized and of what will happen after.We are
gonna work hard so that he can feel ready for the 8th.
Then we found a girl
named Ana and her little brother Francisco. They are really good, but their
parents are super Catholic. They don't want them to do anything with the church. So we will see what happens with them too.
This Friday we get to go to the
temple! FINALLY! I've been waiting since I came in the mission to go to the
temple. We are gonna go has part of the mission Friday morning. So I'm excited
for that!
It's hard to believe its already December and Dhristmas is right
around the corner. I hope all is well back home. The most important commandment
of the Lord is that we are obedient. Obey and he will bless you disobey and receive the consequences. Its a pretty simple plan if you ask me. Yes it's
difficult to follow, but always try to do what's right.
Love you guys! Thank you
for all the support. Take care!
Love,
Elder Hakes
