Lost and found

It was the end of a long day, we had just gone to the church for our weekly report to the bishop. Now it's time for a burger, and it is still early so I tell Connie [lets go for a walk] big mistake. On the way home I stoped to talk to someone and Connie went ahead like she all ways does so I thought that I would take a diferent way back and suprize her at the burger place my being there before her. Sounds simple enough right, wrong, I got there before her and then waited for a while, no Connie. And to make a long story short 2 hours later we finely found each other at the house, where I had left a note to stay there that I was out looking for her. The funny thing about the whole deal was that our nieghbor lady was watching the whole thing waching me turn down the ally and watching Connie turn back looking for me and me putting the note on the door at the last moment Connie walking to the house as I was leaving the other way to look for her . She told us the next day that she was going to yell at me to look back to see Connie but it was too late. I tryed to explain it to her that I was just trying to suprize Connie but it was to late she was having to much fun with the whole thing. I was thinking later it like our life here, some one is all ways watching the things we are doing and at times would like to help us. So the moral of the story is that every thing we do and every thing we say, some one is watching us and not just niebors but also angels. And the end of the story was that we did meet in the end and we did get to have a burger ,amen. Just another day in the life of missioners

cowboy's Lord hand and mango's

We went out to go to work and the farm was close up. They been doing a lot of fixing thing up. So we went out to the little church to fill the barrel with water for the toilet. We were leaving and wave to the man who moves cattle pass the little church every day. He waved back at us and wanted to ask us about the church. He said why are you not having your meetings on Sunday's, I told him that we changed it in the morning because it would be cooler for the people then. While we was talking he looked at my missionary tag and read Jesucristo you believe in him he asked? Yes and this is his church, this gave me the opportunity to tel him about the book of Mormon. What a wonderful surprise. We will have to check up on him. We decide to go see Mauro. I wanted to take some mango's with us to the family but we headed out from the little church and the market is on the other side of Los Mochis. Brent said we see what we could find along the way. I said will pay more for them. We head out any way. We stopped at San Miguel at store asking for mango. They did not have mango because all the locals get them at the mango packing plant. She told us were the plant was down a canal road. We went looking for the plant. Could not find it so we stop at little town out at the end of the road. Only to be told it was around the corner. They gave us four bucket over flowing with mango's. I ask them how much it would be and the lady there said that it would be free and when I needed any more to come and get more. WOW what a surprise, we thanked her and headed out to Mauro home in Poplado #7. Francisco their grand son, met us at the gate with hugs. He ask for oranges his favorite and the other kids ask were are the potato. We just said it not potato season but it mango season. We left most the mango's there the kid were eating them within moment of getting there.
We found they still had not got their bus passes which will help them go to church. We took them to find out about it. We had to make lot of stops asking about them only to find they were in Los Mochis. Mauro went back with us to visit Liberato and get the pass. The end of another working day in the life of a missionary.

when the cockroach comes marching in

We was reading scriptures when I looked down to see three cockroaches come marching in like they owned the place all they was missing was a rider on their backs, so we opened up the doors and scooted them out. Any way to day is the four of July so we decided to go out to the beach with the family of Jesue Valencia. On the way out we stopped my the fountain of Don Quihote to take a picture and as we was getting back in the car we saw Otilia with a group of people and they was waving us down for a ride. We picked them up and asked what they was up to. They said that they was on their way to the hospital and was hoping to find us home to give them a ride there. I said what luck it was that we was there to help them at that moment, and it all so gave us a chance to asked the family how her daughter was doing in the hospital from the car accident she was in. We had given her a blessing that Sunday before and the doctor was saying how fast she was getting better. And the lady told him that it was because the Elders had given her a blessing. This family had not gone to church for a long time so I told them that they needed to do their part with faith and prayer for their daughter also.
And this happened for a reason and that they needed to find what god wanted them to learn from this experience. I told them that it is easy to forget about the importance of going to church and saying our prayers and that he wants us to remember him always.

Today we took the day off because I couldn't move I was so sore for working yesterday., I didn't have anything to do for a moment so we decided to help them load up some potatoes in the trucks. They had a crew of about twelve to help, the deal was that this building of potatoes was all in sacks yes sacks. We would put them on our shoulders and then put them on a conveyor belt where they cut them and dumped them out. This was great for awhile like for the first thousand sacks. Theis were semi trucks and we had to fill them half way up and after the fourth truck I was feeling a bit sore. I'm not as strong as I once was but it still fell good to put in a good days work and not just spiritual but physical. Connie was helping outside by picking up the potatoes that fell on the ground. And with a little aspirin a hot shower and some sleep we hope to be ready for the next day here in paradise.
