| Oh, first things first I think I forgot to wish you Happy Mothers Day so... HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! Thanks, Mom for everything you do and have done! You're the best and I love you so much! I hope that you had a great day yesterday and a great year! It was so great to see you all yesterday! Love, Scotty (Elder Pugmire) |
Hey everyone! Just another Monday! It's been a great this week! I got to talk to my family last night so that was awesome! But these next 7 months are gonna go by a lot slower till the next time we get to talk! But everyone seemed to be doing great and my brother is huge and can probably beat me up now. But that's all good.
Life here in El Codo has been pretty crazy! We've been working super hard with this family of Hna Francisca. She's the Grandma of a huge family! So the thing is we started by focusing on her daughter but the family wasn't really progressing. But the moment we started talking more to Francisca she just loved it all. She's been a member of one church for 40 years! But she said that she just feels peace and more happiness in the true Church of Jesus Christ. She never accepted baptism in the other church but almost since the first day we challenged her to baptism has been on board with it! This Sunday... SHE GOT BAPTIZED! After that, she told us about a dream she had where she was dressed in white and all of her grandchildren were dressed in white as well. She said there were hundreds of kids in white following them after that.
So that was awesome! We were super happy about that! And she was just as happy if not happier than we were! Plus the coolest part was we brought 7 other investigators to watch her baptism and then stay for church! And another recent convert brought his two daughters too! So we had a ton of investigators in Church this week!
This Saturday we had an activity for all of the moms of the church! We invited a ton of investigators and in the activity, we had over 13 investigators! It was awesome! A lot of the men in the church put on acts. My comp and I did one of the things where one person is the arms and the other person is the rest of the body. And the other person uses his arms to brush teeth, shave, and make breakfast. Elder Lagos was crazy! He had a whole entrance dance scene. I'm not sure how mission appropriate it would have been but everyone loved it. Then I did some magic and my comp came in as like a clown type of person and told jokes and then we did another skit called BEBA Y COMA. Basically, it was he was wanting me to write a letter to his mom for Mothers Day. But his Mom's name is ''Beba'' which is also the command ''drink'' in Spanish and "coma" is the command to eat but also means pause like coma '',''. So he was writing the letter but every time he said Beba or coma I had to eat or drink. I ended up drinking almost an entire gallon of water.
Then after that, we had our soccer activity where we had like 50 youth there to play soccer with almost 50 investigators. I played really well! I Scored 3 goals! But.... unfortunately, two of them were on our own goal... Awkward.
The biggest news of the week! I've been counting every tortilla that I eat here in the mission and this week I ate my 1000th tortilla! So that's awesome! I was pretty proud of myself.
But more than anything this week I just want to wish all of the Moms a Happy Mother's Day. You are all the best. Well not quite the best because my mom is the best, but pretty amazing either way. Thanks for all that you do and I hope you know that it doesn't go unappreciated. I know I wouldn't be half of the person I am today without my mom. The other half goes to my Dad but that's another day;). Anyway Happy Mother's Day! Love you all!
Love,
Elder Pugmire
No worries. It was more than enough just getting to chat last night! I just got an email from Presidente telling us to keep up the great work in our area. Just know that I'm trying to make you all proud. Love you all and thanks for all of the love and support! :)
