Week 27 (Los Alamos, Puebla, Mexico) !Hace Calor¡ (It's HOT!)

 ¡Hola mis amigos!

    Another fast and good week! For pday we didn't do much but I finally used the football my Mom sent me lol. I also had the opportunity to give a blessing to one of the new Hermana's in my district. It was very special and very spirit filled. That is pretty much all that happened pday haha.

    We had another really good week for Missionary Work. This past week we found 15 new people to teach, gave out 16 Books of Mormon, invited 4 people to be baptized and all 4 accepted, we had 24 lessons 6 with members and had 11 people go to church yesterday! Safe to say we had a really good week. I am also starting to see how much my Spanish has grown, especially during lessons. I can basically understand everything and teach all the lessons. There will be times where I will misunderstand people though haha. During lunch with our Bishop, his wife asked me "Que pienso sobre el corro" I don't remember if she exactly said that but it means how do you think the choir did mas o menos. I thought she said "Que pienso sobre el calor" which means what do you think about the heat. So yeah I just ended up talking about the weather instead of the choir lol.

    This past week was so hot. Everyday I sweat probably over a gallon. There will be times when I take off my backpack and you can just see the outline of sweat from my bag. Then getting home after finishing the day it will be very hard to change out of my proselyting clothes. I also have been sleeping without a blanket and I get hot during the night anyways so with this heat does not help at all. 

    On Wednesday we had companion exchanges with the zone leaders. We had a really good day, gave out 6 Books of Mormon and had quite a bit of lessons. We also had 2 lessons where we taught them in the very first contact! It was actually really cool that we could just start off talking about the Book of Mormon and then end up teaching a whole lesson. Made me feel like a missionary lol. 

    I feel like there is more that happened but I honestly don't remember haha. So I will just end it right here. Thank you all for reading and have a good week!

Keep sending me emails, I love hearing what is going on with your lives!

Con mucho amor,
Elder Bailey

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 ...
