sorry for the lack of emails... i bet youre all wondering what happened to Elder Maynez...
or not.

anywhays

this week was interesting.  it rained a lot,. its really cold already and its only autumn here
im excited to see winter... its supposed to be the worst one in years/decades

So a new rule was passed.  we cant watch any soccer games in the world cup.  we have to go home and study.... 

highlights:  
TEMPLE!!! what peace is felt in the temple.
I alwys hate leavin the celestial room and going back to the sad world we live in... 
its good to go there and meditate.  I love the temple.

we´ve been visiting this older woman known as paulina.  shes the grandma of the neighborhood.  she had a stroke and we went to give her a blessing.  
next thing we know her daughter invited us to a "family night".... she said it was gonna be really cool and special.  so we accepted and later that day we went back.

as we walked in we heard lots of gospel music.... hmmmm interesting....
an evangelical church was havign a meeting.  in paulinas house.  there were a few ppl there (10-20 peeps) all shouting hallelujah and amen!  all were swaying to the tasty beat clapping their hands praising the lord.....
so we joined in 
the pastor had 10 revelations in that 30 min meeting.  it was weird.  he said he saw a white horse in front of a lady. he saw an angel touching the heart of some man.  he said someone would be a prophet one day.  
it was a strange experience
then we were given 10 minutes to preach 
....
we bore our testimonies.   we didnt want to bible bash.  we felt it wouldnt be right

all in all....
the pastor said he always thought we were mean people who didnt respect other religions. that we wanted to convert everyone,,,
so thats when we taught him about the book of mormon and modern day prophets...
he liked the book.... one day we´ll see him again.
he invited us to his meetings.... haha 
our goal is to bptize him and his congregation.

but ya
those were the highlights of the week
