Week 51 (Huamantla, Tlaxcala, Mexico) Love the Work

 Hola a todos


    Another week that went by super fast. Last pday nothing happened just a normal pday.

    Missionary work was really good again. We found 11 new people to teach, we taught 18 lessons, gave out 26 BoM, we inly had 4 people go to church which was a little weird because last week we had 11. Don't know what happened. We also had like 120 contacts. It was a really good week missionary wise but just nothing crazy happened. This week we will have a baptism and she specifically asked me if I could baptize her! I am very grateful that she has that trust in me.

    I don't remember what day it was but one day we were studying and all of the sudden Pres called and said he was in Huamantla. I was very confused because he didn't warn us or anything. It was dope though because he dropped off like 10 boxes of Books of Mormon, a whole bunch of food and now this area finally has overalls for baptisms! It was really dope of our Pres to do that.

    Sometimes I feel like we aren't doing some of the right things to see success but when I look back on the week I can see that we did everything we could, it maybe just wasn't in line with Gods time. Just gotta keep grindin.

    This email is gonna be a little short and there won't be that much pictures. It was a good week though and can't wait for more. Have a good 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...

Week 86 (La Libertad, Mexico) Bautismooo

  Hola mis amigos     Another good week here en La Libertad 2. Last pday was just a normal chill pday, nothin crazy.     This week for missionary work was a lot better. Finally got into our groove. We ended up finding 13 new people to teach, taught 16 lessons, 6 out of those 16 were with a member participating, contacted over 60 people, gave out 29 BOMs, had 2 of our friends go to church, which were refs from a member and we had a baptism!! It was a really good week.      The baptism was great. Rosa Linda was ready since the first lesson. Such an escogida. She was so emotional and the spirit was so strong. She also asked me if I could baptize her. What an honor. It is such a special blessing to be able to help one of Gods children find the correct path back home, to our real home. I love missionary work.      Elder Young my new comp is getting used to the mission just fine and I love how he has no fear and not afraid to make mistake...

Week 75 (Xoxtla, Mexico) Hay que trabajar

Image
  Hola hola mis amigos      This week was a weird, crazy but also good jaja. Pday was just a normal pday. Hopefully we do something interesting next week.     Oh yeah, I also got transferred to an area called Xoxtla. It's a little far from the center of Puebla but it is a really good area. There is so much work to be done. Also the area is divide into two so 4 missionaries in one area. During the meals with the members it's pretty fun because all 4 of us eat in the members home pretty crazy actually. We do that when we have intercambios but here it's everyday.      We are basically opening a new area because, where we work, the Elders before us and before them never went into the area jaja. We don't know any members there and there was like no one being taught. So this week will be a lot of getting to know the members and finding people to teach through our personal efforts and hopefully a lot through the members.     I don't really...
