Week 48 (Huamantla, Tlaxcala, Mexico) La Huamantlada

 Hola!


    This week was honestly pretty bad, not gonna lie. Pday was pretty normal but we went to Tlaxcala to have a pday with other Elders and played volleyball. It was pretty dope. Then when we left we didn't get home until like 10:15 because of all the traffic because this day was the day no one sleeps, literally. People were on the streets all night just partying and getting drunk, it was wack. Don't worry, we made it back just fine just with a little pain in the rear end lol.

    Missionary work was not good at all. No one wanted to listen to us, everyone was just in party mode all week. We didn't find a single new person to teach, we had no one go to church that we are teaching, we did have over 70 contacts and we gave out 12 Books of Mormon. I don't think I gotta say much about this week. 

    We were supposed to have a baptism but it didn't end up happening but we have faith it will happen this week. 

    Saturday was something that is called the Huamantlada. It is were everyone parties, all day and night, and during the day they block off the streets and let bulls loose hahaha. It is absolutamente crazy, we of course didn't go but we say videos of people jumping in the street and just getting wrecked by a bull. It is insane. I don't get why its allowed because some people have died in this crazy thing. Not gonna lie we didn't get to work at all that day just because of how crazy it was.

    Surprisingly the week still went by fast, well we were trying really hard to get work done but nothin. It was a little discouraging but we are going to come back from it. We are going to work super hard this week. I am very motivated to get work done.

    I believe that is all that happened, not really sure lol. I hope you all have a good week and sorry don't have much pictures.

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 ...
