Howdy All!!
How are you all?? I hope that August is treating you all well. It is really, really hot here in Reynosa. Walking in the sun all day is a normal thing, but I still feel the extreme heat. We are really working hard right now to continuously find new people with their desire to make covenants with our Heavenly Father and start their spiritual progression towards exaltation.
Right now we have a couple of people that are listening:
Esmeralda - She is an 18 year old that is 5 months pregnant. She was an investigator about a year ago but she recently started listening to us again. She is really excited about her baptism and we hope that
everything will work out for her. She works in a candle shop with her sister and they are the only two that work there. Her day to work all day is Sunday which makes it really hard for her to go to church and her sister sometimes isn't willing to change days with her. Esmeralda is being really patient with everything. Please pray that everything will work according to plans this week so that she can be baptized.
Rocío - She is a 17 year old that we found in the street and we are doing the best we can to help her. She has a huge desire to come to church and listen to our lessons but her mom doesn't let her come to
church. This week will we be working with her mom to trust us and let her daughter come to church. Please pray that the heart of her mom will be softened to let her daughter come to church and listen to us.
Teo and his wife - Teo is an American that was deported and now works making hot dogs every night to make a living and his wife works in a bakery. We will be starting to teach them this week and we ask that you pray that they will be able to have time to listen to us.
We had a really cool experience this week. On Tuesday, we were looking for people and we heard two men call us out and tell us to talk to them. We found out that they were less active members that they were going out to visit other less actives. They told us that they were chatting with all the other elders in the ward, the others were trying to plan a barbecue, and they decided to do visits, just these two. They had never met each but they decided to go help others. It made us so happy that they took the work of ministering to heart and decided to use their time to help others that needed it.

Love you all!!
