Baptism date set

By -
Short again this week.. sorry!! And my keyboard is being dumb. Gah, cant wait to one day use functional computers again. Man I took the BYU library forgranted.

Well my hija and I are still here in Sabinas working every day. Nothing too special happened this week, but my wonderful Medrano family is progressing very nicely. Jorge went to church again this past Sunday and I think he is planning on making a habit of it ;). We watched the Restoration video with them this week and talked a little more about the Book of Mormon to solidfy their understanding. They all pretty bore testimony after that they know it is true...!! Whoo!! Very comforting to hear as a missionary haha. Geronmio and Juany will be getting baptized on the 13th, due to a prior obligation on their original baptismal date (the 6th). Jorge will hopefully be getting baptized in the weeks thereafter, although we do not have a date for him. We did have an awesome lesson with him this past week though about the Sabbath Day. He works on Sundays and that was part of the struggle to get him to go to church in the first place and so I was a little nervous to teach it, but his faith really growing and he is seeing the blessings in his families and he accepted to stop working on Sundays so that he can keep it holy. Blessings!

Pedro isnt keeping his committments to come to church, so we had a "drop" lesson this past week. We gave him kind of an ultimatum and he still didnt come on Sunday, so as of now, we will not be teaching him anymore.

Mere wasnt baptized this past week due to other legal things with the divorce, but her  new date is the 13th as well. Ohhhhhhh legalities. And money.

Cultural fact: We eat at 2pm every day (sooooo late) and we eat a lot. and then only a little at "dinner" which is at 9:30 when we get home. But what I wanted to point out was that sometimes we dont use forks... your utensils are tortillas. This week I ate a whole big steak with my bare hands and tortillas. Welcome to Mexico.

Well family, I miss you dearly. Thats not anything new, but just so you know. Prayers for the gift of tongues would still be nice. Love you alll!!!!!! Thanks for writing. Sorry I cant write more.

Con MUCHO amor,
Hermana Roberts

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!! (in Mexico.. clearly)

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!! (in Mexico.. clearly) Well what a week... it unfortunately was not very successful... haha but because I took a suprise trip to Saltillo in the middle of the week.... ALONE!!! We were studying one morning and I was getting all pumped to get out and start working and I was feeling good and we had great plans for the day when all of a sudden the mission office calls and told me I had to take care of stuff for my Visa and come to Saltillo.. in like 2 hours. So yeah, and they sent me alone. So this week I conquered the fear of traveling through Mexico as an American muchacha who is still learning spanish... alone. But hey, I did it, and nothing bad happened. And I even got to Saltillo and got a taxi and traveled through the city and made phone calls (in spanish thank you) and got things taken care of. BAM! Clearly they trust me or something because apparently that never happens (sending a sister without her companion... none the less a American ne...

Travelling Sister

I dont really know how to start my letters anymore cause I always say the same thing haha... entonces... Hola Family!! Mmm not too much to report. Just working and trying to stay awake in the lessons in this heat. Haha mostly exaggerating but after lunch in this heat... listening to someone tell you a really long story... it gets hard, ya know? I only work about half the time in my own area now. We go on splits twice a week and the are each for about a day and a half so it gets kind of crazy sometimes. I have been leaving to work in the other sister´s area every time because I still dont know our own area well enough to direct it with someone how does know it at all, so I have basically been a traveling missionary. I love working with Hna. Walsh and we are a good team, just sad we are only together like half the time haha. But its been a good experience to get to know other sisters and try to help them improve and find what is keeping them from having more success.  A...

Rosi & Fransisco

Hello hello!! This week we saw our new investigators, Rosi and Fransisco  on Monday  night and challenged them to be baptized with a specific date. They.... turned it down... hahaha but only because its for like a week from now. They have to have 5 weeks in church before they can be baptized, but they already had a few in the states, so we went ahead and challenged them. They said they want to be baptized, but they want to learn more first and everything and 2 weeks didnt seem sufficient haha. I couldnt blame them. We didnt get to seem them again during the week (they are VERY busy for an elderly couple) and unfortunately they didnt make it to church  on Sunday  which was basically devestating, right? But we passed by in the evening to see why they didnt go, and they werent home. Their adult son greeted us and let us know that they suddenly had to take a trip to Monterrey and he was their caring for their house. So we´ll see whats up. But they are super cute....
