This week was a little more calm that the last few weeks which was nice. we are getting caught up on stuff and can leave the offices more. In this area there are a lot more people who have money. they are more closed off and EVERYONE is catholic. whenever we try to talk to people in the street they tell us they are in a rush, or they are on their way to mass, or that they have their religion and they respect us, but theyre not going to change. its been tough on us, but were working hard and trying to find the sons and daughters that our Heavenly Father has prepared for us to teach. The other elders that are in our district had to move out of their house and havnt been able to find a new one, so they are staying with us in our house and its pretty fun, but it makes it a lot more difficult to focus on the work. Their names are Elder Gawrych (from Sandy UT) and Elder Sanchez (from mexico city) ive learned that all the americans here are from utah and a big majority of the mexicans are from mexico city or the federeal district of mexico haha. Right now we are teaching a recient convert named ricardo. he is amazing. before he was baptized he said that he want to serve a mission! So we are working with him to get him ready for that and hopefully by the time we leave this area he will be ready to come join the ranks!
Challenge:Read Alma 32. this week i have really noticed how humility affects us. Since coming to this new area i have seen how people who are humble act and how people who are proud act. And im here to tell you, you want to be humble haha. Pride is a tough challenge that satan puts in our path, but if we put our trust int the lord and ask for his help, he will help us develop this christlike attribute and help us become better followers of our savior Jesus Christ.
I hope everyone is doing good on the other side of the border in the cold!
Con mucho amor, Elder Wagner
