Life down here is just full of surprises! It Rained! A Lot! And we ate Crepes, Which are actually a traditional Mexican Dish! Ok, not really. But they were still really good!
So I wasn´t really expecting this to happen, but it was raining for nearly a full day! Back home, yeah, that might happen. But here? Almost never! I have truly developed an apreciation and love for the rain.
Spiritual Thought for all of you: I was watching some Mormon Messages and this phrase really struck me: A Journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. So let´s make sure that step is in the right direction. Make sure that it´s the step you should be taking. Every action we have has far-reaching consequences. Sometimes good consequences, sometimes bad consequences. Most of the time we can´t see the consequences, not at first. Most of the time we want to see the promised blessings immediatly, but that´s not usually how God works. First we have to take a few steps of faith, and then the path becomes clearer. So remember to trust in God. Remember to rust in his plan for us. God kows all things, and we truly know so little.
So who are we to doubt God and his ways?
Also, Mexican Holidays! El Grito! the 15th of September!
And Mexican Independance day! the 16th of September!
We had divisions that day and I was with Elder Brazell, our Zone´s Fearless Leader. Basically what you do is stay up until about 11:00PM and then shout "¡Viva México!". This was the night that their war for independance began. And they celebrate their Independance day the following day. Here are some photos of our "Grito". As well as our trip down to the Centro
So that was this week´s fun activities! Have fun everybody!
Sincerely,
Elder Phillips
