All goes well in Tuxtla everybody! Working hard in Real de
Bosque. Guess what? We had a baptism this saturday! It snuck up on us. We
invited him tuesday, and he got baptized on Saturday. I will send a picture of
him. His name is Jesus Francisco Gordillo Cañas. He is 28 years old, and his
wife is a member. She couldn't come to the baptism because she just had a baby,
and is resting in her parent's home which is 3 hours away. Other things of the
week. Well, Adriana finally accepted being baptized this coming week. Sergio's
mom said that he could be baptized this week. And a kid that just turned 18 can
get baptized this week as well, as his parents can no longer say no. Adriana's
testimony has come a long way, and she now diffends her new religion, fighting
against the lies of her catholic aunts and parents.
The rainy season (which lasts a few months) is coming
quickly. I Think it will be here in a few weeks, maybe less. One bad thing
though, it smells really bad here, as people dump sewer water in the streets.
We have a rat living in the area that we wash our clothes as well. He is the
size of a chihuahua.
So all is good here, and it is really hot. A member served
us some illegal food from the black market, and it was really gross. I felt bad
afterword, because I have seen videos on the discovery channel about how people
steal this stuff and it is causing them to go extinct. And... I ate... Turtle eggs
that were raw! Yuck! They pop a hole in the top, put habenero sauce on top,
some salt, and lemon, and then suck it down. Gross!
Love you All,
Elder Norris
