Elder Zach Bailey's Puebla Mexico Mission

 ¡Hola a todos!     My first week of the online MTC was a rollercoaster with a lot of ups and downs. Monday was by far the most difficult day because right as you get into class they start speaking Spanish. It was very hard to understand them but at least they spoke some English. Tuesday was a little bit better but I still hardly knew any Spanish other than "Hola" or "Me llamo Elder Bailey". Wednesday and Thursday were by far the easiest out of the week, despite having to sit for 10 hours a day staring at a screen. Friday was still good but difficult because both of my teachers' internet connection was bad so it was all choppy and made me want to fall asleep. Saturday was my Preparation day or "P-Day". I went to the Stake Center to play basketball with my brother Dylan and some people from other wards, which was really fun to finally get out of the house. After that I pretty much spent the rest of the day outside doing service for my parents.      Lear

 Zach was set apart this evening to serve as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. He will train online at home for two weeks. He departs for the Mexico Missionary Training Center (MTC) on October 4th to further his training. He will enter the mission field on October 31st and serve the people of Puebla Mexico for the next 2 years. We are so proud of him and his dedication to serve the Lord and the people of Mexico. All future posts will be Elder Bailey reporting on his mission and the service he is providing.
