Mexico Pachuca Mission: June 8th 2014- "Be aware of opportunities..."

"Be aware of opportunities to reach out to others. Be neighborly and reach out in love to all people"

Your faith to find people to teach is demonstrated through your actions. During His mortal ministry, the Savior "took upon him the form of a servant". He went about "doing good" and "preaching the gospel". As you follow this example, you will find those who will receive you.

Elder Gomez going about doing good....

Elder Vanegas (left) from Panama arrived in our mission this last Monday transferred from another mission in Mexico. Welcome to the Mexico Pachuca Mission! The best mission in the WORLD... Special thanks to our trusty assistants who traveled at last minute notice via Bus to pick him up from the Airport for President.

The "blue" candy was so tasty and so worth the blue tongues after...

The Beauty of Molango

Zone leaders Elder Katich and Elder Hixon went to visit the Elders in Molango. They split up and did divisions in their area and then had a district meeting with them- the little house of prayer (below right) is perfect for this branch.

I think the Elders are outnumbered???

Sister Boone helping Elder Barrios with English Study. This zone has made huge strides in the English Program thanks to willing missionaries and dedicated language specialists! Thank you...

Presidente:

Esta semana que ha pasado hemos visto muchas cosas aquí en Rosario y no puedo decir que todo ha sido excelente, "ya que la obra no es fácil" pero hemos confiado en sus promesas que nos ha echo, esta semana hablamos con todos, cuando se nos caían las citas, los respaldos; Cuando no había mas miembros cerca a quien visitar, contactábamos en la calle, tocábamos puertas inspiradas, contactábamos en la combi. No nos dimos por vencidos y hemos tenido éxito a pesar de esas pruebas. Tuvimos fechas nuevas, encontramos algunas personas y lo mas importante para mi en este momento es que el hablar con todos se esta formando parte de mi vida, ahora es raro ver a alguien y no hablarle del evangelio restaurado.

Tuvimos 6 investigadores en la capilla esta semana, de los cuales 3 tienen fecha para este mes, hemos tenido excelentes lecciones, donde el espíritu ha testificado a cada uno de los que estamos presentes la veracidad del mensaje.

Presidente le agradezco mucho por la oportunidad que me ha dado de poder entrenar a mi compañero, es muy difícil hacerlo, pero este trabajo me exige mas y eso me hace que pueda progresar, ahora tengo muchas responsabilidades, me esfuerzo por guiar y ayudar a las hermanas de mi distrito en la obra, a afrontar juntos con valor y fe las adversidades que pasamos.

Nos hemos esforzado mucho mi compañero y yo por darles el ejemplo en perseverancia, fe y trabajo, para que puedan ver que las cosas que nuestros lideres nos piden no son imposibles, aunque no hemos alcanzado cada uno de los estándares, realmente hemos visto la mano del señor en nuestra misión y se que muy pronto vamos a poder lograrlos y superarlos.

Mi testimonio de esta semana es la escritura de DyC 103:36 Toda victoria y toda gloria os es realizada mediante vuestra diligencia, fidelidad y oraciones de fe.

Gracias por lo que hace por nosotros presidente, le amo, a su esposa y a mi salvador por su ayuda cada día en este tiempo de nuestra vida. En el nombre de Jesucristo. Amen. Elder M

Sending our LOVE

The Pachuca Sur sends a message to Sister Boone's (Below right) friend Afton (16yrs old) from Vicksburg, Mississippi. She was just diagnosed with Stage 4 Ewings Sarcoma. She has started chemo and radiation. She is an amazing upbeat girl with a firm testimony of the Gospel. Prayers being sent your way from Mexico...

Elder Lash ( striped shirt) will be arriving soon to the Mexico Pachuca Mission. He and his mother found these cute burro planters and he hand-painted "Pachuca" on the tiles so the family can think about Mexico over the next two years. One is for Dad and one is for Grandpa. We anxiously await your arrival.

President-

So you know how everyone that lives here lives in privadas and have a ref of a gated off place that is super hard to get into? I have never been in it because they always have it locked. We went to go and try to contact this person and of course it was locked up like always and my comp said " i feel we need to go over there." I said OK why not. Well we went and for like 15 mins we where in this place trying to figure out why we where there- knocking doors and stuff. Then the feeling just went away- we both were a little taken back. We thought "did we mess something up?" So we started walking back to go to an appointment and we found the gate of this one street was wide open!! The first time i have ever seen it open- so for obvious reasons we went in to contact this person and she wasn't there. So we said lets go see the less active member that lives here and when we were in front of her house I asked what number is it so we looked through our papers for about a min and then a guy that was outside of the house in front of us called us over by name (elders) so we walked over to his house. This guy is an active member of another ward but was at his brothers house helping them fix something; his brother and his family are not members. So we contacted the family and put an appointment and then went on our way. Well,we had the appointment last night and it went really well. They had amazing questions and they want to learn more, want to go to church and want to do everything. It was something amazing that happened this week- we also have appointments this week with a bunch of new people so i hope that it all works out. The work is amazing- i thank you for everything you have done for me.

Love Elder S
