Well this week were changes but in our companionship, there were 0 changes. Elder Davis will remain as my companion until I depart from the mission. And I will remain here in Tenosique. It really made me happy to hear the news. Elder Davis and I really get along well. I'm not going to be able to finish his training but it will be all right. There was changes in the other companionship that lives with us. The Dominican, Elder Vizcaino got shipped off to another part of the mission and we will see who the new missionary at night. I am super pumped and excited to start this last transfer of my mission. I promised my companion to stay diligent and obedient and more important, I promised the Lord.
This
past week, we had a Conference with President and Sister Morales. It
was a good way to get us hyped and ready to start out the transfer with
desires to fulfill our purposes as missionaries. And they bought us
Burger King. It was so nice. I hadn't had fast food since I was in
Villa.
We had a very spiritual experience this
week contacting. One night, it was late and we were booking it home and
I just had the impression to talk to this guy sitting in his smoothie
store. He gladly accepted an appointment to return the following
morning. When we got there, we got to know him a little bit and taught
him the special message of the Restoration. It was exactly what he
needed to hear. He accepted everything that we told him because he felt
it was true. His name is Hilario Ramos. He accepted to be baptized on
the 26th of this month and to receive the Holy Ghost the following
Sunday. The whole time he just had this look of amazement. Right as we
finished the closing prayer and as we were about to leave, he told us to
wait. He had a question. He looked at us almost as if he were about to
cry and asked me if that the night before, I had been inspired to talk
to him. I told him yes and that the Spirit told me to. He sat there for a
couple seconds and then said that he knew that we are messengers of God
because only the day before we contacted him, he had decided to change
his life. To give up alcohol and to give up his love of money. He told
us of his desires to serve his fellow man and to help the poor and the
needy. That's why he had opened up that little store in the first place,
to give the money that he made to the poor and needy. Then he told us
that he knew that he was on the right path listening to us, and he said
that he knew that we could help him. So that really increased my
testimony that the Lord is still preparing people to hear my voice and
that I cannot stop speaking with everyone I see, no, not until the end.
I
also had the special opportunity to see over live streaming, the
re-dedication of the Mexico City Mexico Temple. President Eyring presided
with Elder Holland and some other 70s here in Mexico like Arnulfo
Valenzuela and Benjamín de Hoyos. ( I have met them both). I have a new
love for the temple and for the blessing it is to have temples.
Especially here in Mexico because before the people had to travel all
the way to Mesa, Arizona to have these ordinances done. But now they
have temples within a couple hours from their homes. I got to see all
three sessions and they were all so special. Elder Holland spoke three
times. Pure power.
Well I have a full week
ahead of me to work and work and work. And you know that's what I'm going
to do. The heat is not as intense because the rainy season has started
here. So it should be a great week. I love you all so much!
Elder George
