On Monday we found a place where they sell crepes and apparently its been there the whole time, but I've just never seen it. The crepes were good and the lady who worked there was interested in us, so we are going to try and teach her.
On Tuesday it got really windy and the problem here is that everything is dirt so i ate so much dirt and had it in my eyes all day. Then it rained really hard for like 20 minutes. Then it was really windy again so it all dried out in like half an hour.
On Wednesday we went to Puebla for a district leader conference and the elders in Juarez say that whenever they talk to somebody there they always say that i found them. That was good to hear because i wasn't there for a lot of the baptisms, but at least a lot of them got baptized.
We found a lady named Alejandra. She basically has every problem in the book impeding her from getting baptized, but we were able to share the story of Lehi and his family. Maybe she won't get baptized, but it just felt good to help her out with her problems and bring the love of Christ into her life for a few moments.
We finally got to go to a pueblo I've wanted to visit since i got here. I see it every day because its on the other side of the valley on a mountain, but we've never went because we don't know anybody there. Then one of ward missionaries had a reference for us there, so we went. It was a cool little pueblo. The reference wasn't home, but we are going back tomorrow to hopefully find her.
The highlight of the week is that we finally got more Books of Mormon to give away, so we had 2 really powerful lessons with some people that we found. The first was with an older guy that was a reference and the second one was with a 19 year old girl that we found knocking doors. We taught the restoration and focused on Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon. When we were teaching about the Book of Mormon she asked how she could get one and luckily since we got 6 to give away we could give her one. When we gave it to her she just said "I don't know how, but i know this is true". The most beautiful words a missionary can hear. She accepted a baptismal date; the only problem is that she studies literally every day, so we are going to have to figure that out,
Yesterday we contacted some guys at a store that sells corn (like corn kernels). They were unloading their truck that was full of 50 kg bags of corn. We helped them and moved like 20 bags. The whole time i was just really wishing that we still lived the law of Moses.
That's about all for this week. We are seeing some progress in the people we are teaching, so to not jinx it now i need you all to pray for them.
Adios
Elder Warburton
