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 Puebla. We are also super close to the volcano. We have a sick view from our apartment of the volcano. There is also a big hill/mountain in our area that we are going to go up one of these days. My comp is Elder Garnica, he is from Arizona, 21 years old and speaks both English and Spanish. His dad is Latino and his mom is American. He is really chill and we also go home together, so that should be fun. 

    Missionary work was a little difficult the first few days here because we didn't have access to the area book to find out where members live or people in teaching because we are actually opening the area. It was good though, but the Elders here before had a baptism ready for us on Sunday so that was pretty cool. Bautismo gratis jaja. The girl that got baptized also has a lot of family that are ready to be baptized as well so we are helping them progress to that. This area has a lot of work so for my last transfer I will be staying busy, which is good.

    Thats pretty much my week. Have a good week everyone. Thank you for all the prayers, I feel them everyday.

Keep grindin,

Elder Bailey

  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. Yesterday we had a total of 274 people go to church! It was

  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 us if we are in a new mission. Yup, I got reas
