I can´t wait to see the new floors! Good luck!
Down here The Holy Week (Semana Santa) Is pretty big. It was brought to Mexico by the Catholic church many hundreds of years ago. It is a week to remember the last week of Chrits life. It starts with ¨Palm Sunday¨, followed by ¨Holy Monday¨ and ends with ¨Holy Saturday¨ and ¨Easter Sunday¨. Many people don´t know why it´s celebrated, they just know that they don´t have to work and should go to church. But yes, it is a great time to teach and find people to teach. The kids down here get 2 weeks of vacation from school too! I hope that the streets will be full of people to contact!
I can´t wait to meet our new President! I hope that he´s awesome and I also hope that he allows us to play sports too. That would be awesome. Will they announce him in General conference? Do they do that?
I love the story of your adventure! Did you ever make it to the creek, or did you run out of time and have to turn back? Did you have to push a lot?
This week I met my new companion, Elder Madin. He is from Mexico City and is great! He came to the mission prepared and ready to teach. He has a great testimony andis anxious to share it with everyone in Juarez! This week we focused on finding new people to teach. My goal was to help him to lose any fear of talking to strangers that he might´ve had and I have to say, he did great! After a few days of practice he was ready to talk to everyone! We found a several people who invited us to visit them this week, one of them being Rodolfo.
Rodolfo is about 45years old and has lots of questions about the gospel. He enjoys reading the bible and when we invited him to read the Book of Mormon, he enthusiastically accepted our invitation. He said ¨I will read it, because I have a lot of questions that the bible can´t answer. And I know that i´ll find the answers here.¨
I can´t wait to visit him again! I know that the answers to his questions are in the Book of Mormon. And I know that he will find them!
Love,
Elder Phillips
