Elder Bennett's Culiacan Mexico Mission Blog: Marriage Witnesses

Search the scriptures — search the revelations which we publish and ask your Heavenly Father, in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, to manifest the truth unto you, and if you do it with an eye single to His glory nothing doubting, He will answer you by the power of His Holy Spirit. You will then know for yourselves and not for another." — Joseph Smith, Prophet

Hey everyone! This is the time of the year in Culiacán when it is now up to 100 degree F everyweek :/ The weather is pretty humid and so we are using a lot more sunscreen and drinking more water. We have to use an umbrella too to protect us from skin cancer. It sounds like it will be like this until September...

This week was pretty fun because we got to experience some new things. Elder Tineo and I went to the Center of the Governor of Sinaloa to be witnesses for a civil marriage. The husband was baptized later that day. We were there and another couple asked us to be witnesses for their marriage and we said yes and it turns out that the man was from the Dominican Republic and they lived in Grand Island, Nebraska before so that was pretty crazy haha. We also gave them a Book of Mormon and invited them to hear from the missionaries where they live. Cool experience.

Later that day our Zone leaders asked us to fill up the baptismal font for their baptism because they forgot and so it was filled up late and it was still filling during the baptismal service and so Elder Tineo and I went to try to shut off the water and I turned the knob and it broke off and I got soaked with water and then we went back inside and all the missionaries present sang a special musical number and Presidente Velez was there too, very interesting haha.
