How's it going everybody!
Quite the time this week! I know I said it was raining before, but this week, we got a bit of the worse end of that. We got caught outside in not one, not two, but three absolute downpours, one of which brought hail along with it. Pretty fun. Drying our clothes out... not super fun. :P But hey, that's the way it goes when you live in one of the rainiest cities in the world.
Other fun things from this week: We finally ''found some good people to teach! Two new hermanas, one from a less active family, who are both super interested in learning more about the Gospel! If all goes well, we'll be inviting one of them to be baptized when we visit them later tonight! So wish us luck!
Today was a bit of a touristy adventure, we went to the Palacio de Bellas Artes, where they had a surrealist exhibition going on. Lots of Salvador Dali and Diego Rivera (For any of you who know those names ;) We also found the Chinatown of Mexico city, and ate bao for lunch. Good times.
As a spiritual thought, here's something I've been thinking about this week: I was doing some reading during my personal study about the significance of a broken heart and a contrite spirit. And it occured to me that a really important part of both of those is humility, and willingness to be taught. Those both help us learn and grow when we're going through trials and tribulations, because they allow us to have an Eternal Perspective about our lives. Just thought that was cool.
That's all from me!
