Elder Zach Bailey's Puebla Mexico Mission

  Hola mis amigos     As you can see I forgot to write again last week jaja. I will try and be better. We still play spikeball every pday for like 2-3 hours jaja. Never gets old.      Missionary work the past 2 weeks has been pretty good but I have also been sick so at the same time not so much. Over the past 2 weeks we have found over 12 new people to teach, taught over 30 lessons, also having members help us in the lessons, given out over 60 BOMs, contacted over 100 people, haven't had too much luck with people going to church but we are getting there.      The open house for the temple started as well and we have been talking as many people has we can so we can actually go but also to help in their conversion. We also had a special tour with Presidente and Hermana Montejo which was super cool. The spirit was so strong and the tour took over an hour jaja. It was an amazing experience.      I am also technically in a new area but at the same time no. They just discontinued the war

Hola mis amigos,     I forgot to write again last week, but nothing too crazy happened that week anyway. Every pday we have been playing spikeball with some Elders in our zone and it is so fun, only bad part is that I get sunburnt almost everytime jaja.    Missionary work was a little difficult this week for la semana santa but we still got work done. We found 7 new people to teach, taught 17 lessons and 5 with a member participating, we gave out 34 BOMs, contacted around 56 people and only had 1 person go to church unfortunatley. It was a good week overall just gotta keep grindin.      Also the temple open house for the Puebla Temple started!     On Thursday we had a lesson with a family which went really well and towards the end the asked us something amazing. They had plans to go to the temple with the bishops family on Monday but they said they wanted to go as soon as possible, so they asked if we could take them the next day! So we planned it in less than a day and it was so aweso

  Hola mis amigos    This week went by crazy fast, probably one of the fastest weeks I have ever had on my mission. It was a really good week though. Last pday we played spikeball for like 2-3 hours, kinda a bad idea because I got a little sun burned. All good now though.      This week for missionary work was really good as well. We found 15 new people to teach, we had 23 lessons and 8 of those were with a member helping us, we contacted 51 people, gave out 33 BoMs, we had 4 people we are teaching go to church and we received 2 really good references from members. It was a really good week, we had a lot of success and we should be able to have 2 baptisms this week if all goes well.      On Saturday we were contacting in the park and we ran into some tourists that were visiting the Cuexcomate (it is the smallest volcano in the world) and the were from Germany and others from France. So we tried talking to on of them in Spanish first but she told us she didn't speak very good Spanis

  Hola mis amigos     I am assuming many of you have heard what has happened the past couple of weeks. If you want to know the full story or if you don't know what happened and want to know you will have to wait till I get back from the mission to hear about it jaja, sorry. Just know that I am doing good, feel good and am working hard as always.     This week for missionary work was really good. We found 14 new people to teach, we had 10 lessons with a member participating, we taught 17 lessons, 3 of our friends went to church, we contacted 63 people and gave out 32 BoMs. It was a really good week. We don't have a baptism planned this week but we have a possibility to have one.      Also I got transferred, again. I am in an area that is called Cuexcomate. My new companion is Elder Pineda. He is from Arizona, is 20 and has around 7 months in the mission. This area is the smallest area I have worked in but there is so much work to be done and the members are really good as well.

  Hola hola mis amigos      This week was a weird, crazy but also good jaja. Pday was just a normal pday. Hopefully we do something interesting next week.     Oh yeah, I also got transferred to an area called Xoxtla. It's a little far from the center of Puebla but it is a really good area. There is so much work to be done. Also the area is divide into two so 4 missionaries in one area. During the meals with the members it's pretty fun because all 4 of us eat in the members home pretty crazy actually. We do that when we have intercambios but here it's everyday.      We are basically opening a new area because, where we work, the Elders before us and before them never went into the area jaja. We don't know any members there and there was like no one being taught. So this week will be a lot of getting to know the members and finding people to teach through our personal efforts and hopefully a lot through the members.     I don't really have the números from the week be

  Hola mis amigos      Sometimes I forget to write emails, oops. Last week was just crazy and just totally forgot jaja. The past few weeks have been great. I have seen the hand of the Lord so much! Not much happens on pday just all the usual stuff.     This week for missionary work was really good but wasn't the best. We didn't have very many contacts only like 30 somethin, we only gave out 15 BoMs, we found 5 new people to teach, taught 18 lessons and 15 of those were with a member participating, 3 people we are teaching went to church and we had a baptism.     It was a really good week and I also don't remember if I said this the last time I wrote but we baptized last week as well. The baptism we had this week was a crazy miracle. We found Diego last week because he showed up to church with his girlfriend who is a member. We talked to him and he said he has gone to church like 10 times but never had time to be taught by the missionaries. This week he did. We taught him Th
