Week 65 (Bosques Puebla, Mexico) Bautismooooo

 Hola mis amigos!


    Another amazing week here in Bosques!! Last pday nothing too special but we did get together with the other Elders in my district to play a board game called Skull King.

    For missionary work this week was really good as well, not our best but still really good! We found 7 new people to teach, taught 16 lessons, only gave out 13 BoM but we will do better this week, 50 something contacts, 5 asistencias at church, and a baptism!! It was such a good week! Even though the 12th was the day of the Virgin Mary here in México but we still got it done! 

    Gerardo got baptized this past Sunday and he made so many changes so it could happen! He said right as he left the water he felt so clean and happy. That made me feel even happier! I love baptisms!

    Also Terre, someone we are teaching went to church for the second time and also went to the baptism and she loved it. She loved it so much that she told us she almost cried! She also has a date to get baptized Christmas eve! She is so prepared! We will be working with her a lot this week!

    On Friday President invited us to the mission home! All the zone leaders, the asistentes and the hermana leaders all got to go. We played sports for like 5 hours then he made us hamburgers! It was awesome, but the only bad part was that I got kicked by someone who played pro soccer before the mission lol. Not gonna lie it hurt pretty bad because he can kick very hard. I'm all good now just a little sore and bruised. 

    We also have something called The Standard of Excellence. The standard the Lord has put for all of México is to baptize 25 a week as a mission. This week we got it done! As a mission we baptized 25 and we can do it again this week! We are starting to really see the Lord bless us for all the work we have done the past few months!

    That's all for this week! I hope you all have a good week and a Merry Christmas! 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...

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 ...

  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.
