We got lost in a forest?

Hey everyone!  This week was so great and I hope yours was too!

This week we started teaching such an amazing family!  They are so excited to learn and one day we passed by just to say hey and they invited us in turned off their TV and got all of their books of Mormon and they were like "teach us more!"  They are so amazing!  Please pray that everything will go well for the family Jarquin García!

We did a ton of service this week!  Including some this morning so I've been a little sore from all the digging and cutting we've been doing.  We tried taking out a tree that didn't look that big but it's roots were SO DEEP so we didn't have much success with that

Also we gave a ton of blessings this week!  Something else I realized is people ALWAYS ask me to give the blessing which I love doing but it's always me and I don't know why Yesterday we dedicated a sisters home because some weird stuff had been happening at night and it was me, my companion, and two other brothers from the ward and she still asked me to give the blessing haha.  Afterward she thanked me a lot because she felt the Spirit after the blessing so that's good!  I'm so grateful for the opportunity to use the Priesthood to serve!

Also a family taught us how to make some food and that was a ton of fun!  They also let us use their aprons and let's just say we looked pretty dang good in our traditional Oaxacan women aprons.

  

ANOTHER ANIMAL STORY

Ok ok so we were in our house getting ready in the morning when we heard something crying loud.  So we went to go check it out and it was a tiny little puppy all alone and abandoned.  So we petted it and it calmed down a little and then it really liked me and started following me.  It followed us all the way back to our house and so we called a couple of members from the ward to see if they wanted a puppy.  We sent a picture to one of the members and she said that her friend was looking for that same puppy.  So we were able to give the puppy back to it's home so that was a good day haha.

Also I can use Facebook as a missionary now!  I had some troubles getting into my account because Facebook thought I was a hacker because I'm in Mexico so it ended up locking my original account  so I had to make a new one.

Yesterday we had a Family Home Evening and we talked about the first vision.  I love talking about the first vision because we have absolutely so many blessings because of that moment!!  I would like to invite you all to read one your favorite scriptures, share or write down why you like it, then watch the "Ask of God" video about the First Vision and then share or write down how grateful you are for all that we have thanks to the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ!  I love our Savior and I know he loves us!  I know that once you do these things you will feel the spirit and and more happiness in your life!

Love Elder Lacey!
