Week 21-2ish?

Hey guys the week has been good here and even crazier tomorrow I will finish 5 months in the field. in two weeks I will probably get my first transfer and begin training some squirt from Chihuahua. However, who knows right? I don`t. At any rate all is well here in the great country of Mexico. I do wish however, that you guys could have been here for the new year. To say that it was crazy would be putting it lightly. Every the people were setting off fire works and partying. SO consequently we had to be in our apartment by 9:00 without exception. Hahaha that was okay though because we could see all the fireworks from the top of our house. The whole city during this time sounded like a battlefield and looked a little like one in truth. Anyway that was pretty cool to watch and it was good to have the chance to talk and be with the family next door to us. 
A really cool experience that we had this week was the chance that we had to pass for a less active family. They hadn't past for the church for 8 months because they had lost there father/husband/grandfather. In short this family was experiencing a lot of pain in their lives especially his wife who is now a widow. This was my first time passing for this house and family but this time something had change because of a lesson we had given the week before. They had attended the church and told us that they could feel the pain of the death starting to be taken from their lives. They then said it was because of our actions as missionaries that they had felt this change in them. They said without us they wouldn't have gone back to church. In that moment I gave thanks in my heart to my savior for his effort on behalf of this family and my ability to serve them. 
Aside from that experience we did another round of candy runs. We visited the houses of less actives and members to wish them a happy new year to to impress upon them the importance of Christ in our lives. So in short the week was in general the same as those of before. It past by quickly and was meet with some success. Will we are still having trouble with our investigators and ward I have high hopes for the future of the work here in this area. For I know, and understand that through Christ all is possible if we but act upon that faith that is inside us.
So I hope that all of you are having a great new year and are trying a little harder to put a little more room in your life for christ. After all I am and kinda have to hahaha. I love you all and hope that all goes well for you this week.
