Hola,
It has been another great week in Mexico. It is cold
here where we are writing and my fingers cant move very fast but I will do my
best. ha ha. Big news: we have cambios (companion changes). I am kind of bummed because I
really have enjoyed working with Elder Chronister. We have had a lot of
success together and a lot of fun. We both thought that we would have one
more cambio and were a little bit shocked at the changes. I will be
staying here in Iztacalco. I have been reassigned to be the new district
leader here. It will be a lot different from last time I was a district
leader (a lot bigger district in an upper class area) but I am really excited
to give it my all. My new companion is going to be Elder Carver. He has 6
months in the mission and has trouble with his Spanish. So we will be working
on that a bit. He is from Ogden or somewhere close to that. I have been on
intercambios (exchanges) with him one time and we did great together so I bet this will be
an awesome cambio.
We eat Rosca every 6 of January to celebrate Christmas
still. Rosca is like a cake that they put little plastic baby Jesus´s in. If you
find one in your cake you have to bring Tamales on the 2 of February. I
got three in my Rosco this year. It was kind of ridiculous ha ha but it
was fun.
My companion had surgery on his toe this week because
of an ingrown toenail so we had to take it easy. He was super scared.
When the doctor pulled out the shot he turned pale and started sweating a
ton. But it is healing well. Its always fun to talk with Doctor
Ruiz. We always swap stories from the OR ha ha.
We are teaching an older couple, the family Othamendi. They
are awesome!! We had an amazing lesson with them this week on the Restoration
and about Joseph Smith, They have been taught by the missionaries for a
while but really never understood what the missionaries where teaching. We had an awesome lesson and the spirit was super strong. While
I testified of the first vision, I felt the spirit so strongly. I did not
see what Joseph Smith saw, but I felt what he felt. They are now reading
the Book of Mormon everyday since that visit and they came to church. It makes sense to them about Christ visiting the Americas and talking to prophets here.
I am glad to hear that you are all doing well. I am
glad to hear that you all had a great New Years and a great time up in Logan. You
are all the best. Have a great week.
Con Muchísimo amor,
Elder Joe Fuell
