Week 30 - Traveling Out to Zempoala

Hola Everyone,

Another week has come and gone. Changes took place today, but Elder Bodegas and I are remaining together which we are pretty happy about because we like it here. We get along great and one of my favorite companions.  But pretty much the rest of our District was taken out and transferred except for us. A lot of new missionaries came into the mission today. About 19 of them. It will be exciting to see who’s going to be coming here.

For an update on our investigators, Franciso is doing really good. He really likes the Church and he said he’s had an amazing experience with trying to quit smoking. We’re hoping that next week he’ll be Baptized. So, we are still working with him. We are also still working with Teresa and Jorge and helping them stay active in the Church. They are doing good also. We are hoping to go to the Temple with the three of them this Saturday. We are still having a really hard time with Sylvia and her transportation to Church. With her being elderly, she doesn’t want to go by taxi or combi because she doesn’t have lots of money and its expensive. We can’t keep asking members to take her because we understand they have things to do too and we can’t always go pick her up by taxi because it is so expensive. We know if we did keep going and getting her every week, when we both got transferred out of here, she would stop coming because she can’t get here so we are trying to figure something.  This week also, we were given a few references that we are going to follow up with this week. 

I know I have told you that my area is really big, Its actually ginormous! There’re parts we haven’t even been to yet. And there’s one part that is about 30 minutes away by combi called Zempoala. We just barely had the chance to go there because one of the Sisters in the Ward offered to feed us and that is where she lives so we went all the way out there for a day.  It was pretty cool! I have included a few pictures of the sights. We saw an old Church and a sculpture of a bird madeout of real guns. 
  
Well, not a very long letter this week but I am really loving it here.  People have asked what I mostly eat and honestly it is mostly beans and chicken!  Nothing too weird or strange but it is all pretty good!  I Love serving the Lord and the people of Mexico and I can’t believe how fast time is staring to go!  I hope you all have a good week.

Love 

Elder Fawcett
