Missionary Moments from San Antonio, Texas: Adventures in Missionary Training

Okay so this week I realized how lucky I am to be going to the states!! Mail takes forever anywhere else!! So I am pumped for that!! Thank you so so so much for the package!!!!!! :) I about cried it made me so happy!!!

(Christy here: Eric has a friend with family in Mexico City, and he has a friend who works at the CCM. Even though all other sources say you can't deliver packages to the missionaries at the CCM, Brother Lopez assured us he could get something through. He went to Mexico City last Friday on a business trip so we sent a small package with him. We filled a ziploc with Clif Bars and Halloween Candy, then threw in as many hand written letters from good friends and family as we could. I was just as excited to find out that he got the package, as he was to get it, I think!!!!)

So an update on our investigator, Juan has committed to baptism and went to church on fast sunday and paid fast offerings!! He has such a strong testimony it is incredible!! He has stopped all his addictions and he is to be baptized on the 23rd of October so we are excited! Juana is a whole different story. We have only tought her twice and she isnt exactly open. But we are trying!!

Me and my companion are getting along really well and we found a non member on campus, His name is José and he has agreed to meet with us on Saturday!!! He is Catholic but has a Book of Mormon (big surprise, look at where he works) but he likes a lot of the aspects of the church!! So it will be great!

Sacrament meeting this week was great!! So relaxing and I did not have to prepare a talk, usually everyone is the branch prepares one then the presidency will pick six people to talk, so far I have not haha. Then we have general Conference this weekend and I hear we do not do a lot at all so it will be a nice break, hopefully I do not fall asleep, the chairs in the auditorium are pretty comfy haha. Also I have scored 14 goals while I have been here, yes I have kept count!! Last night we had a devotional and we had president Walker talk who is a member of the seventy and is from Argentina but is white haha. He shared a video called "Somos Uno" or We are one. So I encourage everybody to watch that video and then go get involved with the missionary work!! Love you guys!!

This is my breakfast this morning... they were serving some weird kind of nachos... I don't know.... ha ha

Elder Jamais eating the other breakfast item (the weird nachos)

Made some chocolate milk, I do every morning when I can. The church orders clean water from Ciel and they also gave us bottles with filters so we are all set!! :)

We all know who this is.... (Christy here: I think it's the Nephite who killed the wicked Lamanite King in his sleep... but I can't remember his name!)
