Week 52 (Huamantla, Tlaxcala, Mexico) Bautismoooo!

 Hola mis amigos 


    Another good week here in Huamantla. Pday was just another normal pday, nothin crazy.

    Also another really good week for missionary work, despite the fact that we weren't in Huamantla for a whole day, we still did good. We ended up finding 6 new people to teach, we had 7 people go to church, we gave out 24 BoM, we taught 17 lessons and 14 of those were with a member, 94 contacts and a baptism!! 

    The baptism went great and Alejandra es una máquina! She will be a future relief society pres. She just has so much potencial and am very happy I got to be apart of her conversión. Next week we got planed another baptism which will actually be her Dad, Jesus! It was especially cool because she specifically asked me to baptize her! I am very grateful for this opportunity I have to help people receive so many blessings the Lord has waiting for them.

    I gave a talk yesterday in church and it was my first time doing it with only notes and not writing it all down, just básicamente following the spirit! It went really well and during the talk I said D&C 4 memorized for the very first time. It took me surprisingly around 2 to 3 days to memorize it. Crazy.

    I don't have much more to talk about but just want to let you all know that hard work and dedicación really do pay off. Keep grindin. Oh, I almost forgot. I have officially been on my mission for 1 year. One more year to go! Thanks for all the support and words of encouragement. 

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 ...
