Marinela, Salmonella

Ok this week had its ups and downs.


Earlier in the week we were able to visit with a family of old investigators. We were able to get to know them a bit better and we are hoping that this time they will progress. They didn't come to church on Sunday, but baby steps right?

On Wednesday we had our last district meeting before transfers and the last district meeting of Elder Stirling. Elder Stirling was an assistant when I got here and we have been good friends since. It has been awesome being in the same district and he is a great missionary. he also gave me his super sweet marinela tie (marinela is basically mexico hostess). He goes home tomorrow and he said he is going to send me the email address of Lindsey Stirling, his cousin. Fingers crossed.

On Wednesday we also ate a ton of food. Everywhere we went people were giving us food, so we went home stuffed that night and later suffered the consequences. I woke up at around 3 Wednesday night with salmonella and all the symptoms lasted through Thursday. Then in the middle of the day Thursday the salmonella hit my comp. We couldn't really work any of Thursday and it was a constant race for the bathroom. We were pretty drained Friday, but we were feeling a lot better on Saturday, so we were able to do more. The cure for salmonella is fast the first day and after eat pure carbs, so we have eaten a ton of rice these last couple of days.

On Sunday we were blessed with some more inactive people at church, so that was awesome. We also ate with some investigators (Rosa and Hugo). They should have their money to get married in July if all goes according to plan, so then we can baptize them and everything will be good to go. The best part is though: They invited us over to eat on Sunday. For those who don't know, I'm pretty sure the Lord gives special blessings to the people who give the missionaries food. So now, they should be protected from anything that satan can throw at them. 
Today we had transfers, but nothing got changed in Zacatlan, so we are still the same 4 elders.

That's all for this week. it wasn't too eventful apart from the salmonella.
Mexico also beat Germany so vamos con todo!

Adios
