Cats and Dogs??

Guero

Guero's House

The neighbor's kitten

Hello Everyone!  

I have an update with that dog named Guero I mentioned last week.  In the beginning of the week he would catch us by surprise.  We would be walking in a place where he doesn't hang out and he would just run up to us and scare us.  The WORST part is that he is super influential.  Other dogs wont be doing anything and then he`ll get them riled up to come chase us.  BUT I think I may have figured Guero out.  I came to the conclusion that maybe Guero was just a bully for attention.  So we saw him and I told Elder Cortes that we were just going to act like he didn`t exist and see what happens.  Elder Cortes didn't want to risk it but I convinced him.  It was pretty terrifying trying to stay calm walking next to this demon dog BUT we did it and he didn't do anything besides give us a dirty look when we walked by.  So I hope that is the end of our problems with Guero.

But enough with dogs, let's talk about cats.  Cats are usually pretty chill here in Oaxaca and our downstairs neighbors have some pretty adorable kittens!  They were always pretty scared of us and would always run away if we tried to pet them.  But one day we gave them bologna and now they absolutely LOVE us.  Whenever we open our door they try to get in.  Sometimes we let them in and they chill in our house for a bit and it`s fun!  But now for an embarrassing story, we were about to leave the house and the cats were in our house.  There is an adult cat and a kitten.  The kitten is more timid and usually leaves on its own but the adult we have to chase it and then pick it up to get it out of the house.  So we went to get them out of the house and the kitten left on its own and we finally got the adult out of the house and we shut the door.  Elder Cortes and I shut the door and turn around and the kitten is right there behind us and meows at us.  It caught us so off guard because we thought it had left that we both yelled and jumped  I`ll send a picture of what the kitten looks like because it`s pretty embarrassing that it scared us so bad

This week we had our Zone Conference and it was so awesome!!  I learned so much and I am so extremely grateful for the opportunity to learn more about my savior.  I have the opportunity to teach people of the great love that their Heavenly Father has for them and it has changed my life!  I testify that your Savior Jesus Christ loves you!  Please never forget that!  He knows you personally and knows exactly how you feel!

Love Elder Lacey!
