Week 80 - Pachuca Monumental Clock Tower

Hola Everyone:

This past week has really been a good one!  We are working really hard and it is honestly great to be back into an area where the people are more receptive and the Ward really helps us out.  We talked to a lot of people and had a lot of lessons but no real golden ones this week, but at least we a have been finding people to teach!

We did have a really good visit with Carlos this past week and he is continuing to do really well.  I don’t think I told you last week, but he was a referral from the Mexico City Temple Visitor’s Center so we have been talking to the Sister Missionaries from there a little bit about his progress.  He has been coming to Church frequently and is progressing pretty well.  We taught him about tithing this past week and he accepted that pretty well.  Also, we set up a baptismal date with him for 22 February so we are happy about that!  As for Daniella, we were not able to visit with her, but we are hoping to visit with her this coming week.  She is also progressing and we are hoping to get a Baptismal date set up with her soon.  We also have a few other people that we are teaching, but I will talk more about them next week after we visit with them a few more times!

On P-Day, we went to the Pachuca Monumental Clock Tower which is in our area and it was really cool to see.  The clock was built around 1910 to commemorate the Centennial of the Independence of Mexico.  The machinery inside the clock are identical to the ones that are inside of Big Ben in London.  The clock tower itself is about 140 feet tall and there was a person at the tower that gave us a really cool tour inside.  I was a little slow in turning on my camera video, but it gives you the general sound!

Anyway, this coming week is going to be a really busy one for us. We have Zone Meeting and Stake Conference so it should be really busy!

I hope everyone has a great week!

Love

Elder Fawcett
