Meeting some interesting people

So I'm at October 22, that day we had our first lesson with an investigator that was a mom and had 2 daughters and we taught them the first lesson. Unfortunately now, she’s has been working a ton and we haven't been able to even to get an appointment with her since that day. There's this one spot that we have to pass by if we want to go to a certain colonia and these same 5 smokers are always there and they think it's their territory or something because they always say pasale as if we need permission haha.

Anyways on October 25th, I met one of the craziest guys, who claims he is from SAN ANTONIO TEXAS! He says it just like that, so we have been teaching them and the wife is a Jehovah’s Witness. We have taught them the First and Second Lesson. And after much talking with her about what counts as a true and correct baptism, she reconsidered her baptism. She works Sundays so we also reminded her taught about keeping the Sabbath the Day Holy, and so she knows this. So now we are just waiting to see if she wants to change her life or not. We were there at their house for like 3 hours, and the husband also bought us these really expensive hamburgers that were super good for Mexico. The next day October 26th, we contacted and taught this lady named Valeria. And after we had left, my companion told me some of the things she had said. And I realized I didn't understand nearly as much as I thought I did haha. For example, turns out she was sexually abused from the age of 8 to 13 from her brother and her mom's new boyfriend. And when her mom found about this, she didn't do anything about it, which is just terrible. She too at the moment hasn't been in contact with us, because of some more family problems. So once again, we weren't able to bring anyone to church that week. And then Valeria is now living by herself with her son, because her boyfriend cheated on her. And I didn't get any of that in the moment, until my companion told me later.

Anyways October 31 came around and because we weren't in the central of the city, it was pretty lame. So we didn't get to experience or see much of Dia De Los Muertos. But we bought some candy and gave it to all the kids as we were walking. November 1rst we contacted another Jehovah’s Witness, who had also been baptized 3 times already. And so we shared the same things like Vicky. About how in order for a baptism to be correct, the person baptizing must have the Priesthood of God. And that after the baptism, there must be a confirmation of the Gift of the Holy Ghost, because this is how it was done and taught by Jesus Christ. We gave her some homework to read Acts 8 where it talks about this.

November 2nd, we came back to one of our contacts named Martin and he was there and we got to know him and we also taught him part of the first lesson. He too has some family problems, but not nearly as bad as Valeria. All of his family lives in the United States, and he isn't legally allowed to go back because he tried to illegally bring people across the border. But I believe at the moment, he is our best investigator as he's the only one that really progressing. I forgot to share this story earlier, so I'll do it now. One day while we were walking in Central, we were stopped by this older looking man, and he pulled out of, what looked like a trash can, and I guess this was his bag. Anyways, he started pulling out a variety of pictures, one was of Joseph Smith. And turns out he was asking if we had a copy of our current prophet, Russel M Nelson. But the reason why he wanted it was to show everyone on the street, that he was a fake prophet. I have never met so many crazy people who have such obscure beliefs in my life and I've only been out in the field for 5 weeks haha. Have a good week!
