Letters from Alexa: my companion tries to preach to pigeons.. They aren't interested...

Hola!

Hope all is well with everyone. Things here are going well. Its getting hot. Really hot. But that's to be expected. Actually.. Nothing is to be expected. Tijuana is loco! They are expecting rain agian this week. Should be cold. I'm excited. But who knows. The weather changes so fast here its ridiculous.

This week went well for us. Monday not so much. After calling the entire world to try to find someone to have a Family Home Evening with, we couldn't find anyone. So we visited a menos activo that has a lot of health problems. She was so happy to see us. She fed us pancakes. We should visit her more often.

Tuesday was Zone Conference. About 15 minutes before it started, the ZLs told me that they want the Sister Leader to help in the trainings now. So..I helped...ish. haha but it went well. In the afternoon we found this really cool lady who is super interested in listening. When we were about to finish the lesson she asked if we were Mormons and we said yes. Turns out she got baptized at age 14 but stopped going about 20 years ago. but she is interested in coming back and now are teaching her 3 kids too. Kinda awesome.

Wednesday. Not too much to report. Just a normal day of citas falling through. but we are doing well. It did start getting hot Wed though. That wasn't super fun.

Thursday: We didn't get to have a ton of lessons. But its okay because we had a baptism! yay! Karen is really awesome and has been preparing for a while. She spent a while not knowing if she wanted to get baptized or not and in the end we let her choose her baptismal date. She chose her birthday. Everything went really well...except there wasnt gas..so the boiler didnt work...so she got baptized with really really cold water. But she was okaywith it. Super happy. She's great.

Friday. We found another awesome lady that has 25 years less active. She's great though. has a lot of health problesm. But thats normal here I think..

Saturday: We found 4 new people to teach. So that made us feel really good. They all have really great potential too. We had Stake Conference at 7 that night which was cool. They did like a panel/discussion about the Area Plan for this year. It was interesting.

Sunday: Stake Conference. Went well. But not a ton happened after that.

Things are going really well here. Really busy. Really hot. But I'm enjoying myself. People keep reminding me that I don't have much time.. and I dont like that. But I'm excited. I'm really excited for Allyse this week. I can't believe she is already getting home. That's crazy. And DeeAnn too. We're all getting there. I can't believe how fast time goes.

Funny Things from this week:

During a lesson this week, Me: "Issac (recent convert 13 years), do you remember what Priesthood is?" Issac: "I used to know. But yesterday I was reborn and I forgot"
