Hola,
This was a pretty good week. We survived the 15th, which is good news I guess. I guess the famous battle of the 15th started at 11:00 pm, so that's when everyone starts lighting off their fireworks. It's a pretty good representation of a war, because there are explosions on all sides. Since it's kind of hard to sleep with that kind of noise, we decided to go up to the roof to see the view, which was pretty impressive. We could see the big show they had in the city center, in a part called Zocalo. Other than that we stayed in the house talking. Pretty boring for the biggest party of the year. Other than that, it was a pretty normal week. We keep working with Nasario, and he's progressing very well. Other than him, we've started to work with one of the neices of the Relief Society president, Anel. She's basically an active member except that she's not been baptized. I honestly didn't know until recently that she wasn't a member. Her parents are inactive, and neither shows signs of returning to the church any time soon. So she prepares herself and goes to church by herself. She's even gone the extra step of waking up her cousins, who live in front of her, so that they get ready as well. If all goes according to plan, she should be able to get baptized the week after General Conference. And hopefully she'll be a positive influence for her family to return to the church.
Other than that, things are about the same here. It sounds like you had a pretty hectic week again. Hopefully things calm down soon. But I'm pretty sure the church is still true, so I'm with you there.
I think that's about it for me this week. I love you, and I'll write you next week.
Love,
Elder Samuel Long
