Hermana Madison Shirley: A chis, A chis, los mariachis

I have in fact seen a mariachi band here, as well as a few nuns and I feel like Im officially in Mexico. Also theres two jovenes who ride their horses every night in the street and I always try so hard not to laugh.

Well folks, its happened, WEVE RECEIVED PHONES, and we can use facebook! I can only respond to messages on Monday but add me if you want, MadisonL.Shirley

Okay one experience that was pretty cool this week. We contacted a woman, and showed up to her house for our lesson but she wasnt there, we headed on our way, when a minute later a joven on his motorcycle rolled up to us and just asked "when can I have a lesson". We were really taken back but he explained that the woman we were going to have a lesson with is a member of his family and heard that we were going to pass by, and when he saw us walking, wanted to have lessons with us. He told us he had just started reading the bible and had a lot of questions and wanted our help finding answers.

The next day we had a lesson with him, and he walked out of his house with our version with the bible!! He said his aunt lent it to him. We were taken back, and found out his aunt is a member, but he didnt even know! After our lesson we asked if he waould be baptized if he receives his answer all this is true. He said he would love to, but hes moving in a week, therefore hell be in the hands of some elders in a different zone. Why are the escogidos (chosen ones) always in a different zone? But how cool is it that God has prepared him for this message already? I hope those elders can bring him to the truth!

I hope everyones doing great, I have seen SO MANY miracles in my mission, I hope you all can too!
