Week 45/46 (Huamantla, Tlaxcala, Mexico) Sick again:( y La Feria

 Hola a todos


     Sorry for not sending an email last week everyone, I got sick last Monday and basically slept all pday lol. Nothing crazy has happened the last couple of weeks but were pretty good, not exactly how we wanted it to go though.

    We were supposed to have like 3 baptisms the past couple of weeks but they didn't end up happening because one needs to get married still, which is a huge problem here in Huamantla and the other due to mental difficulties. 

    Other than not having baptisms missionary work overall was very good. In these past two weeks we found over 15 new people to teach, we had over 20 lessons, we gave out over 50 Books of Mormon, we contacted over 200 people, and we have over 10 people with a date to be baptized! The work is moving along really well but the hardest part is finding people that are actually married and want to go to church. 

    I believe it is officially the rainy season because it rains almost everyday. There are days it rains so much we literally can't do much work. It sucks. One day it rained really hard and we just decided to be dumb and take pictures in the rain. It felt really nice though because before that it was soo hot. 

    These next coming weeks should be good because we are preparing a lot of people to be baptized! But at the same time this month will be really difficult because of this thing called the Huamantlada and the fair. So many people from all over Mexico come here just to party and drink. So we gotta be careful who we are contacting and teaching. I have faith that everything will happen exactly how it needs to. 

    Not much happened but here in the next couple weeks I have a feeling will be a little crazy lol, so stay tuned. 

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...

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 ...

  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.
