Elder Zach Bailey's Puebla Mexico Mission

  ¡Qué onda mis amigos!     This past week went by really fast but not a lot happened. For p-day we had to drop Elder Nebeker off at the oficinas because one Elder went home, so he had to take his place. Now it is just Elder Reyes and I in Alamos. We didn't do much after that, just played basketball, soccer and talked with our families. The trio was really fun and I am going to miss it but I know God has something special in store for us in Alamos.     Tuesday we had a Multi Zone Conference but before that Elder Webster called us to talk about all of our numbers we have been getting the past couple of weeks. Then we also did some practices with him, which actually went really well and learned a lot. The conference went really well but was also a little boring but it's all good. After the conference we got to have dinner with some dope members and talked for a bit with them. This old couple is really cool. If we called them like an hour before a lesson to come and join us they w

  Hola mis amigos!       Another week flew by! Crazy that it is already Monday again! Last week for pday was dope. We went to El Centro  to basically be a tourist. We walked around looking at different little shops, we went into one of the biggest catholic churches I have ever seen and also saw a lot of gringos haha. One of these days I will teach someone that speaks English here.     Every day is filled with so much. We are usually never not doing something, which is very different from my other area. We also walk so much more than I did in my other area. This week we had 17 lessons, talked to 50 people, gave out 13 Books of Mormon, and put 3 people on date for baptism, making that 10 overall! We had this one really good lesson with a mom and her 2 kids. She ended up crying during the lesson and I know that was the spirit speaking to her. It was such a good lesson. Also after a lesson at night we were late to a different lesson we had so we walked as fast as we could, and we were pret

  ¡Hola a todos!     This week by far was the craziest week of my mission! A lot happened in such a little amount of time. Last pday was another boring pday. Pretty much did nothing. We played basketball, talked with our families, and chilled at the church. I can't wait until we actually do something fun on pday.     Tuesday was just a normal day until the night. Around 7:30 pm we got a call from the President. He says I will be transferred to Álamos, a lot closer to the City of Puebla. He also said I am going to be in a trio  with Elder Nebeker and Elder Reyes. Elder Nebeker is from Utah and Elder Reyes is from somewhere in Mexico. So after we got that call I started packing. It was a little sad to get that call but I was honestly ready to leave.      Now Wednesday was crazy too. I had my very first baptism and the baptism was for 4 people! The baptism was supposed to start at 4 but people didn't start showing up until like 4:30 so we were a little scared we weren't going

  ¡Que onda!     Another week that went by pretty fast. Last pday was probably the most boring pday I have had so far. All morning we did literally nothing so I just wrote some emails. Then the rest of the day we talked to our families and just chilled. Very boring not gonna lie. But after pday was good. We had a family home evening with a family in the church and also a family that we are teaching. We shared a message about why the gospel is important in our lives, my comp did this cool experiment demonstrating our lives and bodies before and after baptism, and we also ate some really good food. After eating, the family we are teaching had so many questions that we ended up staying there until 10:15pm and we got there at 6:30! Our zone leaders got pretty mad at us because they were still at our house so that's how they knew, but it is okay because the members walked with us to our house and it was very important to answer their questions. *Stay tuned to hear more about this family

  ¡Que onda mis amigos!     How is everyone doing? My week went by pretty fast and ended up being really good. For pday last week we didn't do much. We were at the church for basically the whole day playing volleyball and talking with our families. I also met my new comp that day and I will talk about him more later. But yeah pday wasn't anything special just nice to take a break and play some sports     Missionary work this week was awesome. The first day my comp and I actually did missionary work together, we found 5 new people to teach! It was crazy! Also the very first person we walked up to, to talk about the Book of Mormon, accepted the Book! We had so many spiritual lessons. We had this one really good lesson on Friday with a family of 5. Also the lesson on Tuesday with them before we talked a little bit about baptism but didn't give the invitation. We only talked about it but that is all we needed to do because at the end of the lesson they literally asked "wha
