Week 43 Villa Bonita

Feliz Día de los Muertos! Actually thinking about that phrase, it´s probably not something one should say, but oh well. This week was a good week. I got my new companion, Elder Rojas. He is from Oaxaca Mexico. He will complete his one-year mark in 9 days, so that will be fun. He´s an extremely interesting guy.

This week was mostly just adjusting to a new companion again. Not much happened. The most exciting was Halloween even though it´s way different here in Mexico. Kids still dress up and go house to house in the safe neighborhoods. Because of 3 holidays in a row, not a lot of people were at church. In fact, none of our investigators. That hasn´t happened in a long time, but we knew that they were just out of town visiting cemetaries and stuff like that.

The best news of the week is that the Royals won the World Series! I imagine everyone is going crazy in Kansas City right now. Here we´re gonna keep working. We have a lot to do. We met a new guy named Edgar who seems to have a lot of potencial. We should have a baptism in the next week or 2 with Elvia. She´s just old and learns slow, but she is a really great lady who has a lot of faith. We have a lot to teach her, and I hope we can baptize her this Saturday.

We had a little taste of Halloween.  We got a little bit of candy 3 suckers and a Mexican-brand Tootsie Roll. All the suckers were caked in Chilli. I´m starting to like it finally. Spicy Candy.

That´s it for the week. Congratulations Royals!
