Mixteco is a indigenous language that they speak here in some place because in Oaxaca they talk a ton of different dialects in the mountains and stuff. Some people we ate teaching speak Spanish and Mixteco and they had me say a few words and they said my accent and pronunciation were perfect because apparently English and a bunch of indigenous languages here in Oaxaca have a lot of similar sounds so that's pretty cool. Also it was also kinda nice to hear my accent was perfect for once HAHAH
Something interesting I have seen that here in this area Dogs like me a lot more. Like we will just be in a lesson and their dog will just walk up and put his head on my knee it's pretty cute not gonna lie. But I still have trust issues with dogs thanks to past experiences aka Güero.
This week was great! I have been trying to trust in the Lord more with everything I do as a missionary. I know that he knows us and loves us. Something sad we see a lot is that people will know that there church is true but they don't want to leave their old traditions. It can be sad to see people you love not embrace completely the gospel of Jesus Christ because of their incorrect traditions. The more I thought about it the more I realized we are all like that in some ways. I've been trying to improve my study of the Bible and it's interesting to me that in the footnote when it talked about repentance it says that the original Greek word is a change of heart or mind.
I think all of us have things where we can be a little stubborn and it is hard to change our hearts and minds. But I know that if we put in the effort to truly have a lasting change of heart we will be truly blessed. We also don't have to do this change of heart alone either. Through the grace and atonement of Jesus Christ he will truly help us change and be better. How amazing is that? So I would like to invite you if there is anything that is stopping you from enjoying all of the blessings the gospel of Jesus Christ brings, repent, or in other words change so that that you can be closer to our friend and Savior Jesus Christ who loves you so incredibly much!
Love Yall!
