It started raining here in
Chichicapa. Well, this week was a week of Catholic celebrations. I mean, they
celebrated the appearance of the Virgin Guadalupe here, who is the same as the virgin
Maria, and so that’s been kind of what’s been going on here.
At the beginning of the week one of
the members told us that every year when the people start celebrating, it
starts to rain, and that’s exactly what happened. Wednesday we actually had to
go to our house at 6 and that was weird.
I didn’t even know what to do with so much
time at the end of the day. So we ate chicharrón con salsa and called it
good.
Also we went to go see some ruins
that are here in our district. That was pretty sweet. I will put in some
pictures. Unfortunately we couldn’t really climb up to many of the pyramids.
One of the elders that had already been told us that he had already tried and
he got caught by the 5-0. It was still awesome though.
This letter is going to be kind of
short so sorry about that, anyway I will keep this going.
Anyway, this week we taught a lot of
lessons about missionary work. I am not really sure why but it just kind of
felt right with some of the members and with our investigators. As we taught
the lessons, I started to understand a little more of the importance of
Missionary work. Even being here as a missionary I still don’t fully understand
it, but here is what I felt like I understood more.
The truth is that the Lord Doesn´t need my help
to do missionary work. He could do it all by himself. He could help people as
He did with Alma, or with Paul, but instead of that, He allows each one of us
to participate in the work that He has on this earth. He allows me to be an
instrument in His hands and help others to accept the gospel. He knows the
experiences and the things that I need in my life to help me learn, and grow
here on the earth and to help me live with Him again after all is said and
done.
I love you guys and I hope that all is well! Sorry it’s a short letter!
Love, Elder
Rios
