Villahermosa: Week 19 "Acayucan"

24 marzo 2014

Wow. What a week. 

So. The heat has come. It is so hot here. It got up to a hundred yesterday with the humidity. Ridiculous. 

Well I got changed on Tuesday morning. Headed to Acayucan on the 4 hour bus ride from Villahermosa. Got there and met my new companion, Elder King. He is pretty awesome. We get along great. He also has a passion for basketball. That was a big plus. 

So our area is struggling. big time. A little while back, there was some things said by the Bishop that a lot of people did not agree with and they stopped coming to church. A lot of people. And the missionaries before me and Elder King have not really tried to help out or do anything about the problem. So we are basically starting from scratch here. We do not really have any investigators and there are a lot of less actives. The ward just needs a boost. So this week we have been visiting like crazy. We have visited a lot of less actives and have taught them and we have invited them back to church. We have also been asking them if they have anyone in mind, like a neighbor or a friend, that we could teach. This method have been very successful so far. We have found a lot of new people to teach and almost doubled the church attendance. I can not help but see the Lords hand in this. We I saw the chapel almost full for the first time this ward has seen in a long time, I almost cried. Actually I might have a little bit.

Sorry I did not share a ton today but we do not have much time. I will send pictures from this week. I love you all! Un Buen!
