Elder Zach Bailey's Puebla Mexico Mission

  ¡Hola a todas!     Last pday was probably the coolest pday I have had so far. We finally did something different. We went to Cantona which is an area in Libres so we had permission to go. It is a place with a whole bunch of ancient ruins and ancient pyramids that the ancients used for sacrifices. People also think this place is one of the places the Lamanites lived, which is dope. Back then they also used to use obsidian for their tools and I ended up finding a whole bunch of pieces that were chipped off at the top of the pyramids! The ruins are so precise and amazes me that they were able to do that with very little technology. It was so awesome to see and was really pretty. I love everything HE has created for us!!      Tuesday  was really weird. At like 10am I was shaving and the water just stopped running. We had no idea why so we asked our neighbors  and they said they didn't have any either. We contacted the landlord and he said he couldn'...

  ¡Hola!     Another fast week! Last pday was chill, nothing really happened that day. We ate Carnitas for lunch, which is probably my favorite food now. We played turista for a couple hours and called our families. Nothin crazy.      On Tuesday we had intercambios (companion exchanges). Elder Navarro came to El Seco and my comp Elder Nascimento went to Libres with Elder Flores. Before intercambios  "started" we had to travel to Serdan to get more Books of Mormon. That took the whole morning but was nice because I got to take a nap. So the intercambios didn't really start until like 1pm. The day was really good though, we lent out 5 Books of Mormon, put 1 person on date for baptism, and just had a good time with each other! We also gave a lot of blessings, I gave 2 and Elder Navarro gave 3. At the end of the day we bought these huge Cemitas. We paid 75 pesos for each but they ended up not being very good so that was a waste of 75 pesos.     M...

  ¡Que Onda mis amigos!     Another pretty fast week! This past week was also a little tough though. My comp and I got into some disagreements and our relationship wasn't the best. We are good now but it made me realize that I can't change people, not everyone is perfect and I'm not going to like every one of my comps. I just need to go with the flow and have a more positive attitude.     Last pday was really good, we played soccer of course at the chapel then for lunch we bought a whole bunch of things to make Carne Asada! We bought 10 kilos of carne and we finished it all by night time! It was so fun and was very very good. One of the Elders also made this really good salsa to go with the Carne Asada. The rest of pday we chilled and talked to our families. Also that night Elder Christensen and I talked until like 12:30 just about life, he's dope.     Last week missionary work was a lot better. We ended up finding 4 new people to teach but only one of...

  ¡Hola mi amigos! Happy new year everyone! I hope you all had a good holiday season! This was another fast week for me. Not a lot happened but it was still a pretty good week. Last pday we didn't do much but we did play an actual game of fútbol with some local kids in the area. That was really fun and the competition was fun too. Oh we also spent our pday in Libres. That's pretty much all we did that day, still fun though.  Another tough week for missionary work, although we did invite someone to be baptized and they accepted. We invited them to be baptized yesterday (Sunday) but he was having doubts and didn't show up. So this week we are going to work really hard on helping him know that it is the right decision. We also invited his nephew to be baptized but he said he isn't ready and needs to learn more. That is definitely okay but talking to him and teaching him is crazy because he already has so much knowledge of the gospel  and almost has a testimony of Joseph Sm...
