November 2, 2020 - Dead in Mexico

 I think the best part of last week was getting tamales from Maria. Nothing can beat homemade tamales. We went over to her house on Thursday and we get there and she asks if we are able to eat inside members houses yet and we tell her that we cant. So then she grins and takes us outside to eat on the trunk of her car. Nice one Maria. So we got to eat homemade chicken tamales with homemade salsa and a Pepsi on the back of a car. Highlight of my week. Then as we were going back inside, this burst of wind came and blew all of the corn husks off our plates and Hermana Crandall screams, "MIS TAMALES". I died hahaha. Then we went inside and had a good conversation about how the Lord knows us and watches over us- like waiting for us to eat all of our tamales before the wind could blow them away. 

Friday was pretty awesome too. We found 2 people (we haven't been able to find anyone in a while so this was huge). One person we found was a referral named Maria so we called her and then took her a Book of Mormon. It went super well. Then we went to a park and as soon as we got out this guy (Alfred) came up to us and asked if we were missionaries and we told him yes. Then he said, "tell me something". So we told him that God is our loving Heavenly Father and that He knows all of us and what we're all going through. He loved it and we exchanged numbers. It was awesome. Then we started talking to this other guy that was sitting on a park bench and he launched into a story of how he faked his death in Mexico so he's not allowed there. And then he started singing a song that an angel had whispered into his ear while he was sleeping. I think that was the one and only time I was grateful to be wearing a mask because I was trying not to laugh and oh man it was funny. 

Scripture of the week: 
Matthew 5:45- "for He maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust"
☆ everyone has their own ups and downs in life, but God is greater than both of them 

Love y'alls 
Hermana Eagar

  Anddd another long week haha but this one was fun! Our friend Jaqueline wants to be baptized so that is so so awesome! She really wants her family to be involved too so we are going to teach her family this Saturday.  We are helping 3 other people prepare for baptism. Jacob is going to get baptized on the 27th with his sister and I'm so excited for him!  I got to go on exchanges with Sister Stone and we got to paint someone's dresser and barstools. Good times. I love her. We had our ward Trunk-or-Treat and we were elders haha. I think we won the costume contest.  Heres a scripture I really loved this week: Mosiah 5:12 "I say unto you, I would that ye should remember to retain the name written always in your hearts, that ye are not found on the left hand of God, but that ye hear and know the voice by which ye shall be called, and also, the name by which he shall call you" Love yall!

  Last week was amazing!! I got to go to the temple twice- once with Lili and then the next day with the other missionaries that are going home with me. It was so fun. Lili loved it!! When I was at the temple with the other missionaries, I read in Luke and this verse stood out to me- Luke 1:79 "To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace" This is why we have a prophet today and why we need our Savior- to show us the way back home to our Heavenly Father. I also got to go on exchanges with Hna Davis! We went and ate at this members house. She was showing us that she painted her fingernails green. Then a few minutes later she opened the fridge and her green salsa fell an her feet... after helping her clean it up she looked at us and said "look now my toes are painted green too". It was funny. Then while she was in the bathroom washing off, I was able to pour my beans (they don't agree with my stomac...

  LILI GOT BAPTIZED ON SATURDAY AND IT WAS AMAZING. AND we're going to the temple on Thursday with her to do baptisms for the dead. WE'RE SO EXCITED.  Wow a lot happened last week. Lili got baptized, we had our Zone conference, we had exchanges, we had service at this place called Reigning Strength where kids with autism go and ride horses to learn how to balance, talk, etc. It's incredible.  At zone conference, one of our leaders, President Rascon, said that the best leaders are the best followers. I love that so much. Christ is the best leader. But He also followed God's commandments perfectly. Sometimes we think we can only be one or the other, but why not both? That's where we can learn the most and have a lot of experience but also still be humble enough to take people's counsel and advise.  God is so good. Texas is awesome. I love Hispanics and their hospitality and love. And I love being a missionary. I may have been called to Argentina, but Houston is de...
