Week 43

My assignment as zone leader is exhausting, but its fun being able to go anywhere in the zone. This week we had two great investigators, Oscar and MariCarmen. They are both really excited and progressing well. I still dont know if Jazmin ever got baptized. I am hoping she did. If not, she will very soon. This week we had Interviews with President Stellmon, He is the best. I love that man. He is so funny, and he is always joking, but then he gets really spiritual and serious when its appropriate. I hope you guys can all meet him one day. He was talking to me about my goals, we need to have goodgoals, otherwise life is just a big tv and xbox and chips and soda, A lot of fun, but you dont really get anywhere and you dont get anything done. My goals now are to get my whole zone to have high, make-you-stretch-until-it-hurts kind of baptismal goals. We are in Mexico after all. People here are prepared and religiously minded. I am in one of the zones that is very easily satisfied. One baptism and yeah coke and tacos for everybody. but we need to get everyone excited and working and putting high, faith testing goals. My companion and I are trying to put the example. Our goal for right now is 5. Find teach and Baptize five people that the Lord has prepared for us. Also next month is the Mexico city temple open house, I cant imagine a better place for an investigator to feel the spirit, and then get baptized, and then Participate in the rededication in september. That is my personal goal. I want to have a family of converts that can participate in the rededication of the very building where they can be sealed together for eternity. That would be epic. It sounds like Emily is getting really close to having her baby, Cant wait for another picture avalanche on my email 😂 Baby henry is looking good, he looks alot like his super handsome uncle. I am regretting that I cut my hair because it is cold here. I wore a sweater this week. In mexico. In July. Its not cool. It has been raining every afternoon for about a week. Not much else, everything is going good and tomorrow I have to give a zone training with my companion and the Hermana Trainers in our zone. Should be a good first try. I love you all and have a great week! Elder Jacob Wilson Throw back monday... sorry everybody, I didnt take any new pictures except the one of the picture on my door. 😁
