So basically the reason I'm writing on a Tuesday is because yesterday the church rented the whole center of the town of Cuernavaca and we had a huge activity all day long of helping people get to know the church. There was a table for primary, young men's and women's, relief society, self reliance, family history, service, family home evening, annnnnnd missionaries!! We weren't allowed to proselyte or even contact people like normal, just invite them to learn more about the church. But if they started to ask more questions, we had to send them to the stake president because we just absolutely weren't allowed to preach.
The activity was also to get people excited and involved in the light the world initiative that the church is doing. and the grand finale was a little program we had with a choir, a couple little messages, and at the end, they gave everyone a little card to write what they're going to do to light the world, we tied the cards to a balloon with a light inside, and at the end we all let them go. It was INCREDIBLE!!! Words just don't quite describe it. The whole day was just soo filled with the spirit, you couldn't help but be happy!
(I mean yeah there were a lot of people who didn't want anything to do with what we were doing, and even a guy that was yelling "arrepentios arrepentios! Jesus isnt' over here people, hes over here. they're all hypocrites" etc etc.
But oh well, Jesus isn't in contention either so I don't really know what message he was trying to spread.)
But it was soo cool I wanted to do it again today!! And tomorrow. And always.
Imma try get a hold of some pics to send. Here is a video - if it works!
Love, Maelynn
