Week 47 (Huamantla, Tlaxcala, Mexico) Trabajo

 Hola!


    This week was basically the same week as the last one, so I won't have a lot to wrote about. Pday was normal, but my comp wanted a haircut but they cut it really bad, which kinda made me laugh. Oops. We also were playing volleyball which has been really fun. Unfortunately, I squatted down a little too much and rip..., yeah, ripped my pants. A little embarrassing but I just covered myself with with someone's jacket and finished to game. A member also bought me a pair of pants so that was nice.

    The week wasn't that bad, we are just having trouble with people coming to church, even members. Mainly because of the fair. We are going to work even harder, especially with the members help so we can get people progressing because we have a lot of people who can and who want to be baptized but its hard for them to get to church. It's not that its hard but they just find excuses that's all. 

    We ended up finding 5 new people to teach, we only had 2 people at church and a totally of like 25 people at church in total, we were only able to give 7 lessons, we gave out 19 Books of Mormon and contacted over 140 people. So I'm not going to say it was a bad week but can definitely be better. This upcoming Sunday, we should have a baptism! If you remember my last baptism it was a young mom with her son. This baptism will be the mom of the young mom we baptized a couple weeks ago! It should be great!

    We had a lot of interactions with a lot of rude people. The people here in Huamantla this month turn very rude just because they all want to drink and party, but I have faith that the work will go on if we do our job.

    I learn something new everyday and I love it. I love how I can be a trainer but feel like I am learning more than my comp is learning. Its hard to explain but I am definitely growing as a person and as a missionary. 

    Missionary life is difficult but I am enjoying the proceso. If you are thinking about whether or not to go on a mission, just do it. It will be one of the best decisiones you will ever make.

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 ...
