Sarita got too nervous the first time, but today she got baptized! 

(We were standing in the font for more than an hour.)

Just likeTitanic.

I have never seen ants work so efficiently.

Alexandra gifted me this drawing.

Fish!

Micah's 4th week with Elder Garcia in Arrocera

 09-01-25

So, I've got just about 2 weeks left in my mission. That means that I'll be arriving home soon, and that means I'll probably have a small welcome home fiesta thing and give a talk. Therefore, I'm writing this email to ask y'all once more if you would like to come to my homecoming talk?

Speak now or forever hold your peace.

Highlights of the week were, on Wednesday, we had our first Mexican Sign Language class!

So, we're teaching a family, and they're gonna get baptized this Sunday, but the things is is that the mom and dad are both mute and deaf, so I've been learning LSM (Mexican Sign Language) in order teach them easier, and help them follow along with the messages and classes in church! God has definitely blessed me to be able to pick it up quick.

Hence, my companion and I decided to start teaching LSM classes every Wednesday.

We invited the family to the class to help us teach, and they were so happy! They all really enjoyed the class, and their 2 daughters are super excited to help in the class again this week!

It's the family Cordero Martínez, their names are Alejandro, Sheila, Alexandra and Sara. Please pray for them so that they can get baptized, and that the members of the ward will help them feel so loved and welcome!

Other highlight: I've begun waking up at 5:00 each day to practice roping, and that's been super epic.

In other news: I've set the goal to finish the whole Book of Mormon before finishing the mission. That's about 18-20 pages a day from the point I started at.

With that, I testify that The Book of Mormon is true! Each time I open that book and begin to read, I find something that speaks to me personally, or that speaks or warns of things that are happening or will happen in these modern times.

It is the one of the most criticized texts in religious history, often by people who haven’t read a single page.

I know the Book of Mormon is true. There's not a doubt in my mind about that.

How can you come to know that for yourself? Read it! Read it, and ask God. He knows all, and cannot lie. He will answer you, and the Spirit will testify to your heart and mind that these things are true.

In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Waking up at 5am to practice roping.
