Week 56 (Bosques Puebla, Mexico) Zone Leadering

Image
  Hola mis amigos      First full week here in Bosques and as a Zone Leader went really well! Still have a lot to learn and a lot to improve but I am definitely doing my best! Last pday was pretty good, nothing too crazy happened just did the normal pday things. After pday we had district council and since my district doesn't have a district leader my comp and I have to do the council. It went really well but the missionaries in our district as well as our zone have no animo (encouragement)! That's  something we as zone leaders are working a lot on. We are trying to help our missionaries have more success and basically want to be here in the work and be on the grind.     Missionary work was good but definitely can be a lot better. We just need to start working with the members a lot more here and then we will start seeing a lot more success. We found 13 new people to teach, we gave out like 16 BoM, we had 16 lessons, like 40 contacts only because we didn't have a lot of tim

  Hola mis amigos!     This week was pretty crazy! Last pday we didn't really  do anything, but during the day I got a call from President Montejo. He told me a bunch of things, asked me some questions and at the end called me as a zone leader! I was not expecting that at all. He also said I couldn't tell anyone until we would normally find out who our companion is and where we are going.      I got transferred  back to Puebla in the Bosques Ward. My new companion is Elder Nelson, another Gringo. I also already knew him pretty well because he was in my district when I first got in the mission. He has 16 months in the mission. We are both zone leaders  here in the area and he also doesn't have much  time in the area, only like 6 weeks. So we will be learning the area together jaja.      Wednesday was my last day in Huamantla and was probably one of the hardest goodbyes I have ever had to do. They had a goodbye party for me! We had tacos and they also wanted me to stay one mo

  Hola mis amigos!     Another fantástic week here in Huamantla. Last pday was really fun. We had a whole zone get together and just played a whole bunch of sports all morning and after noon. I got burnt jaja. It was really dope though, definitely made me miss sports a little more jaja.     Missionary work was also awesome. We found 13 new people to teach, we gave out 27 BoM, we invited 14 people to be baptized and 8 accepted, we had 14 lessons, we had 10 people we are teaching watch general conference, 88 contacts and 2 baptisms!! It was such a good week and really didn't get to work that much because of general conference but still a really solid week.      On Thursday we saw a crazy miracle! It was like mid day and we were going to the park to give out some BoM but we actually ran into Marlen. Her and José were working on getting married so they could get baptized. We knew that but we didn't know how close they were with it. We talked with her and ended up saying they are ge
