This week on Elder Silva's mission it was spectacular. We had the opportunity to have a member of the quorum of the seventy come, Ernesto R. Toris. It was such a great pleasure to hear him talk and I felt the spirit so much, is was such a great experience that I'll never forget. There was a new sister that came in the mission, she barely had 3 days here in Mexico and she couldn't speak any Spanish But the spirit was so strong that she was started crying and then he went up to her and gave her a blessing!!!!! And he promised that she will learn and speak Spanish and the spirit was so strong that the whole room felt so calm, peaceful, and there were emotions that I cant explain but it was something very special. Then he talked about the importance of missionary work to the Lord. Since that day I have been having a better view and form of thinking daily.
This week we also had a crazy experience when four random guys showed up and asked me if I spoke English and I said yes and they asked if I could help them with a project. I said I would gladly help them but only if they agreed to attend 1 hr of church. They agreed; they went to church and loved it and I helped them with their English project. We made a deal that I will teach them English if they would hear our message lol.
Also today we received a call from the assistants and told us that my companion Elder Rivera had to pack his stuff and leave and I was like NO!!!!!! He was barely my companion for a week and we actually became really good friends. :( so right know I don't have a companion :(
This week on Elder Silva's mission it was pretty hard because there was a lot of politics going on over here. Everyone wasn't home and those that were home didn't really wanted to talk with us so that sucked :( But we decided to visit a Brother whose name is Eladio, and his whole family are members, he even has a son that recently went on a mission!!!!!! But he is not a member and he has been listening to the missionary's for a long time and they say that he doesn't want anything to do with the church.
So one day we went over and we were actually looking for his daughter to ask her if she could go on visits with us but she wasn't there. But Eladio asked us to pass by and we were just sitting in his living room awkwardly and his wife was there and I just decided to share a video with them and they said ok. The Video we shared is called ''Earthly Father Heavenly Father'' and that video is sick!!! He loved it. So we decided to visit him again and to teach about the Book of Mormon and he didn't want anything to do with the Book of Mormon, so I shared my testimony instead. My companion also shared his testimony and we invited him to read it and give to give the book a chance and pray to see if its true and surprisingly he said Yes. Then we asked if he could do the last prayer and he said Yes, and that prayer was such a great prayer and that's how I knew he was going to read it. Now I just hope that he reads and know if he does he will know that the Book Of Mormon is true.
This Week on Elder Silva's mission I was getting used to some things. Since I got transferred to a city lol. But the ward here is pretty big they have about 140 members and they love working with the missionary's so that's really good. The last missionaries that were in this area didn't really leave any people to teach so I kinda have to start from zero :( My companion and I are working hard to find family's but it's pretty tough because they don't really want to hear us. But my New companion is Elder Terry and he is new to the mission and has a tough time speaking Spanish, but he is getting really good and is really humble.
This week on Elder Silva's mission it has been the weirdest week for me. So I got transferred and I was kinda sad because they only gave me like 5 hrs to pack and I didn't have time to say goodbye to my investigators :( So I was kinda upset with that but I got transferred to a place called Comalcalco and its a huge city!!!!!!! After being in Balancan (which is a little town) for almost 3 months and not seeing civilization I was like :O What!!!!!!!!! But my new companion is Elder Terry and he is from Arizona and he is reallly tall lol. But yeah it feels weird and I think I need a couple of day to get used to normal civilization lol.
