What is up my peeps! :D How is everything back in the United States of America! I hope all is well! Everything is good here in Monterrey! The campachanas are still amazing! And everything is going good! Except every week something different happens to my body and so I am pretty much used to surprises now. One week I will have like sores on my face. And the next, my stomach will explode, or something like that haha. No just kidding! I am still good! So this week, this fish were not biting at all. haha I mean all the people that we tried to talk to rejected us! Well not all but a lot more than usual. But that is ok because there is this life changing talk by Elder Holland. And it is The Atonement and missionary work. And he talks about why missionary work is hard. And it is because SALVATION WAS NEVER EASY! How can we expect missionary work to be easy, when it was NEVER EVER easy for Jesus Christ. How can we expect us to have so much success, and so much happiness all the time. When it was not like that for him. And when people reject us, we are standing with the greatest life that ever lived! So that always gets me pumped. People reject us, and in my mind I am like, Heck ya! I am standing with Jesus Christ. And all the prophets that were rejected! Haha So all is well with me! Actually there is a funny story of two Elders that got a door slammed in their faces. And they high fived and said one person closer! Because every person that rejects us is one person closer to the chosen one! Haha. But then the guy that slammed the door opened it and said what do you mean? And the missionaries were like. Well we are looking for the people that God has prepared to receive The Gospel so if we are rejected, it is one person closer. And the guy invited them in and ended up getting baptized. HAHA! Super hilarious! We have an awesome investigator named Jesus! And he is on fire! But man Satan really doesn't want him to be baptized! There is so much opposition coming into his life. It is crazy to see the opposition right when somebody is going to get baptized! Satan fights it! But Jesus is awesome! And I feel like he is going to make it :) We had to GOLDEN investigators. The first time we entered the house they said, I want you to baptize me! And we are like... Well sick! Lets get going. But then after a couple days, we couldn't find them and then we found them. And something changed. They didn't want to be baptized. And we were like why? What happened! And they were just like, I don't know I just don't want to!... Yup. That was this week. Haha. But things are good! The work is going! And I am loving it so so so much! Haha Anyways! I love you guys! Have a good time on your cruise parents! :D The coolest Elder Slade you will ever meet -Elder Slade! :)
