Week 32 (Los Alamos, Puebla, Mexico) Bautismo!! (Baptism!!)

 Hola!!


    Another really good week here in Alamos! Pday was normal, so nothing crazy happened. Good day to get some rest though.

    This week's missionary work was so good! We gave out 31 Books of Mormon, had 16 lessons, 11 people we are teaching went to church, and we had 2 baptisms! If you have been following my updates you know we have been trying to help a family. Having that baptism yesterday helped so much with that because now the parents/grandparents just need to be baptized and the family will be together forever!! 

    Thursday we had a multi-zone conference in Puebla. It was a really good conference, I learned a lot but something pretty embarrassing happened after. We were leaving the building to go take a taxi back to our area because we had 2 boxes of Books of Mormons and a package mama sent me. I had to readjust holding 2 of the boxes and as I went to go pick them up again I heard a ripping sound. I was like "There is no way that just happened" but it did exactly what you think happened. I ripped my pants and if I didn't have a zipper my pants would have fallen off haha. It was very annoying, embarrassing and what made it worse is that it happened to my suit pants! So that was very unfortunate. 

     The weather here seems to keep getting hotter and hotter but it feels so much hotter than it actually says it is. It will say it is 70 but feels like 90 just because the UV index is at like 11 and we are so close to the sun. I come home every night with a big sweat stain because I sweat so much lol. 

    I love this area, my spanish has grown so much and can't wait for more amazing experiences! I hope all is well with you all and have an amazing week!

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! He is a maquina jaja. Great kid. This week we might have another baptism so stay tuned jaja.      The open house of the temple ended last Saturday and we are finally starting to receive more references. Also now our ward is huge. Yeste...

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 ...
