Hey family!
I love Atlacomulco!! haha. We are having a lot of success and the ward is starting to see it and take action. The main issue in all of the wards down here is that the ward doesn´t want to preach the gospel to their friends and even less to people they don´t know. But they´ve seen our efforts and are starting to want to help us out. haha. We are going to see what we can do this week with them. First things first, we had 5 baptisms last week! One on Wednesday, and 4 yesterday. The one yesterday was Bere. She´s a future missionary and she tells us that every time we see her. She was obviously prepared by the Lord and she´s going to be great. The other 4 we found over here in Atlacomulco while we were getting to know the area. One of them is named Petra but everyone calls her Adelita. She´s about 4 foot nothing...haha she´s the most loving lady down here! I got to baptize her, and she´s definitely my shortest convert...and I´ve baptized some 9 year old kids. haha. It was a really rewarding day and we have a lot of momentum right now. Another cool story about this week is about some lost keys. In the side pocket of my backpack I keep my 2 sets of keys. One set has the keys to the house in Atlacomulco, and the other set has the keys to the house of Acambay and our church. Well, we have to travel a lot by bus to get to other areas. We were going to do interchanges in an area called Ixtlahuaca, and I put my backpack on the top shelf of the bus to sit down comfortably. We got back to our area, and we had to take a taxi to get to another part of our area. When we were done there, we took a taxi back and I realized I needed an address that I left in the house. So we get to the house and I go to take out the keys and they aren´t there...they had fallen out somewhere. I was thinking we had taken a bus and 2 taxis since I last noticed they were there...I was nervous. We went back to the bus station with very little hope. At the bus station, there´s a line of about 20 stalls where buses park all going to different locations. I went to the bus going back to Ixtlahuaca but it didn´t have the keys on them. We had an idea and we took our ticket to the main office of the station, and they told us what number of bus we were on. We turn around, and the bus was right there! It had changed routes during the day, left and came back from another pueblo about 45 minutes away, and was about to leave again. I got on, looked above on the shelf, and there were the 2 sets of keys...it was a huge relief and a miracle in my opinion. Well that´s all I got for this week. I love you!
