Week 43 (Huamantla, Tlaxcala, Mexico) ¡Bautismoooo! ¡Soy entrenador! (Baptism!, I'm a trainer!)

 Holaa a todos!


    This week went by really fast and was also really good! Last pday we ended up staying the night Sunday so we were in Apizaco for pday. I also got asked to do the District council! It was very weird but it went well and the spirit was very strong that night. I caught a snake as well lol. Pretty good pday.

    This week for missionary work went really well but not until the end of the week. Tuesday night we got news for transfers. At like 10pm we got a call from Pres and I got my first assignment! I got called to be a trainer! That is actually what I was wanting to do and I already love it. My greeny is Elder Zepeda, he is from Pachuca, Hidalgo, he´s 24 so he is a lot more mature than all my other comps and it is a lot better. Unfortunately this isn't his original mission. He got reassigned here because he doesn't have his visa yet. His actual mission is in Brazil! Thursday I had to travel by myself all the way to Puebla then to the oficinas. It is very weird traveling alone lol. Friday morning we had a meeting for trainers and that is when we met our new comps. It was a little awkward at first but after the ice was broken while we were traveling to our area we found out we have a lot in common. This will be a great transfer!

     So for this week we found 6 new people to teach, we had 6 lessons with a member present, we gave out 18 Books of Mormon, we invited 6 people to be baptized and all accepted, and 13 people came to the church that we are teaching! The crazy thing about these numbers is that we basically did all that in 2 days. Imagine what we can do in a week!!

    Sunday, we had a baptism for Jaky and Uriel! They were in teaching before but lost interest until like 3 weeks ago they wanted to start learning again. They are awesome and have very strong testimonies already. They also invited some of their other family members that aren't members of the church to come with them and they did! We are going to teach them this week! I had the opportunity to baptize jaky and my comp baptized Uriel! It was a very good baptism. It is also my first time baptizing 2 weeks in a row and we are going for 3 in a row this week!

     Training has been so good for me. I have already grown so much and have learned so much as well. I am very blessed and grateful for this opportunity!!

    I believe that is all that happened, not really for sure lol. I hope you all have an amazing week filled with miracles!!

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 Puebla. We are also supe

  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. Yesterday we had a total of 274 people go to church! It was

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 us if we are in a new mission. Yup, I got reas
