What's up gang it's me Elder Manning. I have officially hit the two month mark and it's crazy I feel like it was just last week I left for the MTC. But every week is getting better and better, especially after a hard first week in the field. I lost my camera on the way to our first baptism so I can't take pictures right now but there's not much to take pictures of anyways. It is super dry here, and yesterday was the first rain they've had here since like April. and it was like 3 drops haha. We've been trying to work more with the ward here and trying to get them to help us more because we've had a hard time in this ward with convert retention. So we've tried to work with them more. We've got another date for a baptism! Her name is Brenda, and she has a little girl. She came to church with us on Sunday so that means she has a date I guess. I'm not exactly sure how it all works haha. But she seems super interested and she even answered a question in Sunday School! Her husband already knows the Book of Mormon is true! and he wants to read the Doctrine and Covenants! We were like what that's so crazy ! He couldn't come to church because of work but I'm excited to see how much they progress!
There's half a million different chistian churches here in Tijuana and it's hard to talk to people and to tell them stuff they need to hear but they won't listen to us because they have a church. We're trying not to Bible Bash with people becasue there are some that like to do that haha. But the Church is true, And that fact gets renewed for me every single day as I teach about the restoration or the gospel of Jesus Christ. Love this work! and love you guys! Thank you for all of the prayers you're the best!
