Week 55 (Puebla, Mexico) Cambios y líder de zona?!? (Big Changes/Videos included)

 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 more transfer for my birthday but since that didn't happen it was basically a goodbye/birthday party. They sang to me and bought me a little cake and got my face covered in cake for the first time and got some gifts as well! It was such a special night. The Huamantla Branch will be in my heart forever. Definitivamente my favorite area so far in my mission. Not only did I have success but I gained the respect, trust, and love of the members and the people I taught!

    Transfers were Thursday and I had to be at the bus station in Puebla at 8:30 am and it takes like an hour and a half to get there from Huamantla so I had to leave pretty early in the morning. I also starting feeling sick that morning so that was not fun at all. We got no work done because I was just dying and had to go to the bathroom so much. Luckily I didn't puke. But now its Monday and I feel a lot better.

    Missionary work wasn't the best just because of transfers and getting sick but this week will be even better!

    Por todos los miembros en Huamantla que lean este correo, les amo muchísimo y siempre estarán en mi corazón! Espero verlos pronto! (For all the members in Huamantla who read this email, I love you very much and you will always be in my heart! I hope to see you soon!)

    Have an amazing week everyone! Keep grindin!

Con mucho amor,
Elder Bailey

Week 93 (Atlixco, Mexico) Transfers

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 ...
