But this week was Día de los Muertos! It isn´t a huge deal here in the peninsula, but it was fun because everyone puts out a little altar with pictures of their loved ones that have passed away. Complete with tamales, candy, and lots of flowers. We thought they were super pretty, but it turns out its kind of a sin....since it´s an alter......and we only worship God. But we enjoyed the opportunity to talk to a lot of people about FAMILY HISTORY. We had some really special lessons and really felt that family history work is the same as missionary work, just on the other side of the veil. I love the scripture that says if we breing even one soul unto god, how great shall be our joy. I know that to be true.
Our convert Amayrani moved and we finally found her new house!!! Yayyyy! Sometimes we have to stalk people, but it´s all for a good purpose. She is so sweet, and we played a really fun game to learn about prayer. We have to pay attention to the answers, so we changed little things about our clothes. (eg, my nametag with Hermana Merricks, or we switched watches, etc) She had to note the difference, and it was so fun. We got her little brother in on it and we were all just giggling like crazy. They´re good muchachos.
I´ve got a bunch of photos to send, but the only one that uploaded is this crazy star fruit that we bought! Just take it as a reminder that you´re all stars. (Cheesy, but I love you guys!) God loves you, he is cheering you on, and he will fight your battles if you let him.
I promise I´ll send lots of stories and pics next week! Love you all a bunch!
Hasta Luego,
Hermana Schwartz
