Well this past week has pretty much just been another normal week here in Mexico! My Comp and I have been working really hard trying to contact new people to teach but that has been going pretty slow honestly! We are able to teach 1-2 lessons per day but people are really just not that interested and it is hard to schedule a second lesson with them. We have been trying to involve the members of the Ward in our lessons and that has helped out a little. We do have a few investigators that are past the first lesson but we just don’t have a baptism date scheduled for them yet. We are also still working with the members on the inactive people in our area as well as trying to get new member referrals to teach.
So the highlight of this past week was that we were finally able to baptize Nancy and her daughter Ruby on Friday! Nancy asked me to baptize her and Ruby had my Comp to baptize her. It was really great to finally get them into the baptismal font and it was a really great experience! Both of them got confirmed on Sunday and that was also great to be a part of. Demetrio received the Priesthood on Sunday as well and that was also great to see someone that we baptized a few weeks ago continue to grow and advance in the Church.
Well, nothing really all that exciting to write about. Day of the Dead is coming up so it will be neat to see how they celebrate that in this city! I will be sending pictures of that here in the next week or so!
So, I hope everyone has a great week, I really love it here in Mexico and being able to serve full time as a missionary.
Love
Elder Fawcett
