Week 20 (San Salvador el Seco) The week I don't remember much and videos from the tree felling last week

 ¡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 in next weeks email!

    This week for missionary work was honestly pretty slow. We gave out like 7 Books of Mormon, only 2 of our people in teaching showed up to church and we couldn't get members to be part of our lessons. We still had pretty good success with the contacts and lessons we did have so it wasn't all bad.

    Tuesday I am not gonna lie we didn't do much missionary work only because we had to go take out the mission fund, get groceries, and clean our house because the other Elders always trash the place. So all that took the whole day but it was much needed. We were still able to do some calls though. 

     On Friday my comp and I had the opportunity to join in on seminary at 5:30 in the morning and teach a little about baptism and how we teach it to our friends. It was actually really good even though there was only 2 kids in the class but the spirit was very strong. It was also my comps very first time at seminary since he wasn't a member during high school. 

    Nothing too crazy happened this week and I don't have many pictures but it was still a pretty good week. I hope I didn't leave anything out but like I said nothing really happened so I can't really remember. I hope everyone has an awesome week! Thank you for all the emails and prayers! Love you all!

Con mucho amor,
Elder Bailey 

As always, I love hearing from you all so please keep the emails coming. My email is zbailey@missionary.org

Week 93 (Atlixco, Mexico) Transfers

Image
Hola mis amigos,     This week was good but also a little sad. Pday was a normal pday like always.     So as you can see by the title, I got transferred. I wasn't expecting it at all because I only have one more transfer left in my mission, so just a little odd but that's life. I spent Tuesday night and all of Wednesday saying bye to everyone. Jose, a really cool member, gifted my comp and I paintings he painted himself, pretty sick. The goodbyes were pretty hard but I'm used to it by now. But these goodbyes were a little harder because I had made some amazing relationships with a lot of the members.      Thursday I officially got transferred. We headed to the offices and I had to take a van with like 12 other missionaries because we all got sent pretty far away. Saying goodbye to Elder Young was hard as well, one of my favorite comps. I am now in a city called Atlixco. It is actually very pretty over here. A lot more green when you go down south in Pu...

  Hola mis amigos     Another great week here in La Libertad. Pday last week was pretty boring because the other Elders didn't play spikeball so we had nothing to do jaja.      This week for missionary work could have been a lot better but was still good. We only found 2 new people to teach but they are escogidos and one already is baptized jaja, gave out 21 BOMs, only had 9 lessons but 6 out of the 9 were with a member participating, we had 4 people go to church and one of them will be getting baptized the 12th of may! It wad a good week especially since my comp and I had our first baptism together.      We found Matias last Monday and invited him to be baptized that same Friday and he accepted!

Week 91/92 (La Libertad, Mexico) Bautismooooo, y ¿Pueba Sur?

  Hola mis amigos,     I think I forgot to write again last week, but I honestly don't remember because the weeks go by so fast. I honestly don't remember really anything from 2 weeks ago so I will just talk about this past week jaja.      It was a pretty good week here in La Libertad 2. We only found 1 new person to teach but she has potential, we taught around 8 lessons, contacted around 50 people, gave out 20 BOMs, 1 person we are teaching came to church, well technically 2 but he got baptized yesterday! Overall it was a pretty good week.      The baptism was really really good actually. We found Erick by contacting him in front of his house, giving him a Book of Mormon and setting an appointment to come back and talk about the BOM. 4 weeks later he was baptized! He is going to be such a good miembro.     Wednesday we had a small little get together with another zone, Presidente y su esposa and just chilled and talked. Also told ...
