This week has gone by fairly quick so I don't have a lot to say! However Elder Bautista and I had the opportunity to work with President Maucotel, our Mission President. He called us up last Friday morning and told us that he wanted to come teach with us. Elder Bautista and I made some plans with our investigators and put a little bit of time to go tracking in the rich part of our area. We decided that maybe President had a special way or idea on how to find success in this type of area. We drove up to this rich part of our area thats called Country (and yes I did say we drove, its the first time we have driven to get to our lessons here in the mission!). We got out and started to knock doors. I will be honest we got rejected more times than I can count, however one of our last contacts was a success. We found a man named Fedricko, who has a family of 4 and was expressing to us how much his family means to him. We shared about how the gospel blesses the family. How through the gospel we can find true peace in the home and in the family in general. I could see in his eyes that he could feel that what we were saying was true. We planned out a lesson with him this upcoming week, we are crossing our fingers that he will end up with a desire to progress. It was a great experience with work with President Maucotel! I have came to love the people here in Mexico.
Alot of people seem to be able to feel that these things are true but still reject the message, however to hear about the things that matter most to the people always brings joy to my heart. Yes there is alot of corruption and evil in the world but a day doesn't go by without finding someone with a genuine heart. There are still good people and there still is hope here on this Earth. After all the words Nephi could of wrote to describe why we are here on Earth he said, ¨Men are that they might have JOY.¨
I have came to know that every single one us has 24 hours in a day. It depends on each one of us on how we want to approach the day. We have the genes of the Creator of us all even God our Eternal Father. With this knowledge we have the capacity to work wonders here on Earth. However to keep this capacity to its fullest we must be like the old scout slogan that says, ¨Keep yourself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.¨ Take care everyone! I took so pictures so everyone could see what my area is like.
Love, Elder Gibson
