All dressed in white, and nowhere to go...

i got a good letter from betsy today, and another from jeff. i hope you’re not getting mad at anyone for not writing me. haha everything went super busy this week. we were almost always completely booked with appointments everyday.
bad news. friday while we were helping trinidad and dulce get names for the temple on saturday, the bishops sister, hna andrea she is great, said that it was canceled, because bus plans changed or something lame like that..... so we had to go tell them that they couldnt go..... but we got some other members who were annoyed that called up the bishop and kinda got annoyed at him. its not everyday that members here can go to the temple. but apparently he rescheduled it for the 21. when we heard that, we thought it was too late for trini to go, because he doesnt have work enough to keep him here for 2 weeks longer. but last night, sunday, he stopped by our house to tell us that a member got him good work for as long as he needed, so he could stay and go to the temple in two weeks. we are also hoping that before he goes, he can receive the melchizedek priesthood, i cant spell it anymore....
the ward.... its kinda tough to say how good its doing. i would say that we could have divided probably 3 times if it wasnt for inactive members. we honestly cant even talk to all of them, because there are so many. but because of our hard work, some of the relief society, sociedad de soccorro, are doing their visits again to less actives. absolutely no one goes to do home teaching or visiting teaching. only some families do fhe. we dont really have ward council, which we need, but we talk with the bishop of what we are doing.. almost no one prepares a lesson here. i think that is the hardest part, is that if we are bringing investigators to church, and they want to feel the spirit, and cant because a lesson isnt prepared and pretty much all are apostate, so its hard for us to keep investigators in church. we have tried to adress this in our talks in sacrament meeting, and talking with the bishop, but nothing happens. also the bishop pretty much refuses to give callings, becuase that is a lot more work on his part..... or else this ward would be booming. no joke1
actually for sacrament meeting yesterday, it was a national heroes birthday who was born right here in anenecuilco, named emiliano zapata salazar, and sadly a lot of the members went to that party instead of going to church, like alyssas spanish ward, for a soccer games. but on wednesday, the bishop talked to us and said we are giving a talk, but we both thought that it was only one of us, and so only elder snyder prepared a talk. in sacrament meeting, the bishop stood up and said that elder facer will speak first.................uhhh........... so i stood up, practically shaking, and talked. i would definately say that the spirit put words into my mouth. i felt like i was babbling, because i was pretty nervous {not embarasado} but after, there were so many members that came up to me and thanked me for what i had said. also speaking of that, there have been some good lessons, where i have just been promped to share my testimony, or be bold and challenge someone, and because i followed the prompting, they came through!
one of our investigators who got baptized yesterday is named francisco. he is about 6 foot 3, and used to smoke and drink like crazy! but before we came over, he just decided to stop drinking {but what he didnt know was that his wife and daughter who are members were fasting for him} and as soon as we challenged him to stop smoking, he stopped on the first day! i cant even believe how hard that would be!!! but he and his son francisco got baptized and confirmed yesterday, along with two little girls who complete their family and will probably reactivate their parents, marta y fernanda, and also a mom who was not a member, cecilia but had two kids that were. we were so close to baptizing a perfect family alberto, sophia, with their kids anai, and cesar, but cesar only had 6 years. they were all in white and in the service, but sophia has always had fear of doing it. she knows its right, but is just afraid and wont do it. we told her the only way that will leave, is if you stop being afraid{ following satan} and get baptized {following christ} but when she was in white, in the room, she said no. because she said no, her daughter and husband backed out also, so everyone could get baptized on the same day...... kinda frustrating but somewhat understandable. she just needs to act on faith and do it! because we really dont have any other plans of what we can do to help her.... we have given her a blessing, fasted with her, shown her movies, taught her all the lessons everything!!!! but nothing has worked yet.
well actually it is zone conference every three months. but every month in between that, we have interviews with our President. we are the only two elders that cover these some odd 10 pueblos around here, but we are only 15 minutes away from other elders in cuautla. we go there every monday for district meeting. it is so much nicer to stay away from other immature elders and just stay focused on the work, and not get involved in the mission gossip.
well thanks for all you all do, and i hope everything is well, and that everyone is safe. joseph dont break the poor little joker. haha and tara dont crash. love you all and hope everything is well!!!
