Week 67. La Pastora, Mexico.

Week 67: Mother's day week

Well its been heating up here in Monterrey! I am going to have to be real good at putting on sunscreen this summer 😂. Anyways to start off, what a great mothers day week! The 10th was Mother Day here in Mexico. In our ward here in La Pastora I would say that 40% of the ward are widows. With this, Elder Hernandez and I baught 24 roses and went by all their houses to give a rose. It was a great experience to see their faces light up when they opened up their door. Along with the rose we would read to them Alma 56:42-48. In which talks about the 2000 stripling warriors and how thier mothers taught them to never doubt and trust in the Lord. What a great experience. To top everything off I had the chance to talk to my family especially my mother yesterday. What a wonderful time! Also probably the last call home before I actually get home 😬. The time just keeps rolling on.

Our investigators are doing great! We have our fingers crossed the Erik is going to be baptized this Saturday! He is super prepared and ready! We are excited for him. Guadalupe is so determined to get baptized and shes hauling her family with her. They just got to come to church haha. Yazmin is doing awesome to! We are hoping to baptize her the 22nd of May! Our contact with Arturo has gotten better but still shaky. Working super hard and having a great time finding new investigators and teaching a whole lot of lessons. It feels awesome because we have a whole lot of people to teach or contact. Its awesome here.

I know that God loves us and has brought us this gospel as a way to return to his presence. What a great blessing to have the gospel in our lives! Love you all! Take care.

Love, Elder Gibson
