Week 59 (Bosques Puebla, Mexico) ¡Día de los muertos y mi cumpleaños! (Day of the Dead and my birthday!)

 Hola mis amigos! Como están??

    This week went well pretty much the same as last week. Last pday was really dope. We went to centro and looked at all the ofrendas for día de los muertos and had some fun touring you could call it jaja. I also went birthday shopping jaja. 

    Missionary work was good but definitely can be better. We found 8 new people to teach, gave out 29 BoM, 5 lessons with a member, 14 lessons in total, we only had 1 person go to church, 2 converts and 61 contacts. Right now our biggest concern is getting people to church. We invite everyone and a lot of people tell us that they are going to go but never show up. It will change this week though so that we can start to baptize again. 

    We also had another leadership council this week and went really well. The main focus was having more faith but not just faith, having faith in Jesus Christ. We also talked about how the new mission in Puebla is going to affect the mission.(Yeah, if you didn't hear, my mission is going to be divide next July and when that happens there will be a Puebla North, South, and east mission! Crazy! I could actually be reassigned to a new mission as well but for only like 2 months because I will be going home in Septiembre next year jaja). It was a really good council and I left that meeting rejuiced and ready to work a lot harder.

    El día de los muertos was the day of my birthday (noviembre 2nd) and that day was dead jaja. Literally no one in the streets or in the little tiendas. We still managed to have a really good day though. I also had my first exchanges as a zone leader that day. Also the member we ate with made a cake for us and didn't even know it was my birthday so that was dope! 

    Also something crazy that happened last Saturday is that literally 6 people were killed in my area and the even crazier part is that when it happened we were very close to where it happened. Don't worry though nothing to crazy just a whole bunch of police, sirens, helicópteros, and the army no big deal jaja.

    I believe that is all that happened this week. Can't wait to get back to work to help the Lord in the great work! Hope everyone has a good week and thank you all for the birthday wished! Keep grindin

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 ...
