Hola,
It was the best. I am not even joking.
Maybe it is because I love history... but I don´t think so. I am pretty
sure anybody would love the ruins of Palenque because they are awesome.
Especially because we had the coolest tour guide in the world. She was a
27 year old recent convert/ returned missionary that grew up playing
hide and seek in the ruins. She owns one of the little stores there,
too. Long story short: She knows everything. She knows all the stories
and all the secrets AND she also relates everything to the Book of
Mormon.
Por ejemplo: There was this great
governor that the Mayan people had named Pacán (or something like that)
who had a really huge temple built for himself as a tomb. The cover of
his coffin has this weird design on it, but our guide showed us how the
top part represented a type of heaven, and the bottom part a type of
hell. In the middle was Pacán... in some sort of waiting place in
between. There was also a cross on it. She said that the members there
believe that this cover shows his understanding of the spirit world,
that he knew he was going to be in a place of waiting, and that he also
knew of Jesus Christ. They think he was a Nephite or a Lamanite and it
was SO COOL. Wow. My words do not make sense. I apologize. But there was
also a tower like the tower of King Benjamin. I AM LIVING IN BOOK OF
MORMON COUNTRY. My mission is so cool.
It is
for this precise reason that I love testifying of the Book of Mormon.
Hermana Solis (my new companion.. who is from Morelos Mexico and is the
most adorable thing ever) and I have decided to start contacting with
the Book of Mormon, and it has been a wonderful thing. I love talking
about it, because these people are literally the descendents of Lehi and
that blows my mind. I just want them to understand so badly! "THEY WROTE
THIS FOR YOU!"
We have met a lot of wonderful
people that way, but there are still some that don´t understand. The
other day we went to visit this lady we have been teaching, but only her
husband was there. He was "sleeping." So we left a note and went away.
We passed by again about 10 minutes later to go to another appointment,
and when we came within sight of the house we heard "DAD! THEY´RE COMING
AGAIN!!" haha. We literally watched him JUMP back into the hammock and
start "sleeping" again. It hurt my feelings, but it was also hilarious. I
don´t think we´ll be going back.
Itzigari came to church on Sunday! AND she said her husband has stopped drinking! She loved church. I will tell you why: Church is the best. haha.. Especially this Sunday
because it was the primary program! I played the piano, and one of the
primary children directed the singing! It was precious. And then in
principios del evangelio a recent convert talked about the gathering of
Israel, and it was also awesome. She´s knows how to explain things in a
way that everyone will understand, and she testifies like she has been a
member all her life. She is awesome. And then in relief society we had
this amazing lesson on love and charity and being a friend to those in
need. It was perfect. They ended the lesson with everybody giving hugs
and notes of love to everybody else. I LOVE CHURCH!
The
Church is true. It has been restored. It is the church Christ would
have us be a part of. The Book of Mormon is SO TRUE. It is awesome. I
love it.
Read your scriptures, say your prayers, spread the gospel.
I love you I love you I love you!
