Week 47---October 23, 2017---LOS ARCOS, NEW COMPANION, FAVORITE FOOD, COINCIDENCE

Los Arcos
Now we are working in two congregations: Los Arcos and El Molinito. We are excited for the new opportunities here. 

New Companion
Elder Sevilla, coming from Guatemala, is now my companion for the next 6 weeks. He is a champ and speaks perfect Spanish, go figure. We both have something in common: we like to eat Mexican food. 

Favorite Food
We often are asked what our favorite food is here in Mexico. The typical response is a list of 10 different dishes that are all equally delicious. Here there is no 1 favorite type of food. 

Coincidence
One of the coolest things about the mission is that we get to see a lot of coincidences happen. We will meet somebody in the most random way and find that they have been looking for the message that we share. A belief in God makes coincidences a thing of beauty and a sign of divine love. We stop believing that things just happen randomly, and start to believe that there is a being that is watching over us and giving us opportunities to grow, to love, to learn, to experience this life.
