This email is going to be pretty short because not much happened this week. Last Monday, Elder Mendez and I must have eaten something bad because on Tuesday we were both super sick and we were put on bedrest all day Tuesday. So that was quite the long day ... luckily the next day we felt well enough to go out and work.
On Friday, we went on divisions with our District Leader, Elder Barcenas. Elder Barcenas needed to come and do the baptismal interview with Hermana Duke. So he came to Tres Valles with me and Elder Mendez went to Temascal with Elder Andrade. However, Hermana Duke's daughter got sick and she had to cancel her interview. So halfway through the day, Elder Barcenas cancelled the divisions so he went back to Temascal and Elder Mendez came back to Tres Valles ... so basically it was a waste of time!
Yesterday, both Elder Mendez and I were asked to share talks in church. It went pretty well. We both talked about Christmas and spoke for about 15 minutes each. After church, we went and visited a ton of members. This week is cambios (transfers) so most likely Elder Mendez is being transferred to a different area tomorrow. We still don't know where but we will find out later today. So we went and visited a bunch of members and investigators ... took lots of photos and Mendez said goodbye.
Something I shared in my talk was 3 Nephi 27:13-15, 27 which talks about how Jesus came to the earth, suffered, and died for us. Therefore, as it says in 27, we should try to be even as He is. In this Christmas season, I encourage you all to focus on our Savior and to try and follow His perfect example and help others. If we do this, we will find incredible joy! Have a great week!
Merry Christmas!
Elder Gurney
