Weeks really do fly by on the mission.
This week was business as usual. Taught a lot of lessons and found new people to teach. Like last week we worked quite a bit with inactive members. We found a family, where the kids aren't baptized but are really interested in the church. We have a good feeling about them. The only sad part is that transfers are on the 14th so it is very possible I won't be in Constitución to teach them. That is the mission goes sometimes.
The big event this week was the Stake's "Light the World" service project. We all meet at the Buena Vista chapel (ward in our stake) at 9:00am. Vega and I got there a little late as we had some trouble with transportation, we originally took the wrong pesero. Once we found the right one it all worked out. At the activity were hundreds of people, from the stake. The entire Mexico City Southeast Mission came, ~100 missionaries, it put the 14 that came from our zone to shame. For the service project we cleaned up a park in the Buena Vista ward. It was up on one of the volcanic hills, which gave a great view of the city. They had us clean up the trash and beautify the greenery. It was a great project. To get to and from the park they had us ride in truck beds even though that is explicitly stated against in the missionary handbook. When in Mexico! Also I did get to use a machete which was one of the highlights.
A short one like last week,
