Door Knocking has Commenced! 4-26-2021

Hello everyone!


Welcome back to ye olde weekly from Elder Williams! It has seriously been a crazy week, we are always doing something! We called through the rest of the members that haven't been to church in a long time, and then we have started knocking on their doors! Which is super cool! We can only knock on members doors as of right now though. We found out the church records are way old though, one guy hadn't lived at the address we had for 5 years. And one house looked like it hadn't been used for months.

Because of this push we are doing to help out some of the members, we have gotten to meet with some of the members and it's been really special. Most of them didn't even know we had church in person back yet. And it's always cool to meet new people, they are still disappointed they can't feed us meals yet. As are we.

We also had to take Shelly off of her date for baptism which was really sad. She just isn't quite ready yet, and there's some things we need to work out with her. So please keep her in your prayers. And Maida is still doing really great! Besides that we are struggling a bit right now with people to teach. So we are doing the best we can to find people to teach.

Last P-day we played disc golf which was super fun! It's always nice to get out of the apartment, and it was a really fun course! We may have to go again sometime. And we got to do some service again at Habitat for Humanity, and we got to smash some cupboards and couches and chairs with sledgehammers, it was so fun! I miss stuff like that. And we got the first round of the vaccine too. That was cool, it wasn't very bad.

Yesterday at church was a really special experience. Doug and Jon, both of our recent concerts were able to pass the sacrament. That was so amazing and beautiful to see, and Jon was telling us after church that for years he had passed communion at his past church, but he never felt before what he felt passing the sacrament. The sacrament is such a blessing to take every week, President Nelson emphasized that in his talk a few weeks ago. 

All of you have a wonderful week!

Not Phase 3? 3-29-2021

  Hello everyone! This week has been such a good week! We had some more Elders over to do exchanges with the Zone Leaders this week and it was really fun! And we got to do exchanges ourselves! It was a blast, we had the Gaylord Elders over and the Petoskey Elders. It was super fun, every time we have Elders come over we go to this soda shop called Rocket Fizz. I've been there so many times since I've been here, they  have all these fun flavors of soda! There are so many, and they are all come in bottles. When we are done we smash them with our bare hands. Yeah, that's right. We had a lot of good lessons this week, we met with Jon a few times, Shelly a few times, the Millner family a few times, Maida a few times, and it was great! Unfortunately, something came up for Maida's baptism and it will be postponed for now. But she is still super excited to continue learning and eventually be baptized! And some more exciting news! We were abl...

The only light I need is the light of Christ! 10-2-2021

  Hey everyone! So Mexico has still been treating me well. I have been having more appointments with the bathroom this week, and we haven't had power in our apartment since Wednesday. And now we're out of gas for our water heater. But it's all good because the Gospel is true! Don't worry, it still has been a good week, we had a lot of blessings and cool experiences. We had a baptism for our friend Rosa García so that was awesome. They had me conduct so I could work on my Spanish, I didn't want to but it turned out okay.  Rosa was definitely prepared, and she is so good! Her daughter was baptized a few months ago, and I think that's what's been helping her coming into the church and believing all of it. They fed us breakfast one morning since we don't have power and brought us tacos one night. They're so good! Also bus rides here you have to hold on for life!  I wonder how often they have to replace their brakes, they use them a ton. But we rode the b...

Jeffrey R. Holland, Ice cream, and Water for Baptisms 11-8-2021

Hello everyone! So this week was crazy as normal, and I know I always say this, but there was a lot of miracles! Some brief stuff: It was one of the missionaries birthdays in our zone so we went and bought him a cake and celebrated with him for like 20 min. We visited Central Puebla last P-day, and it's full of shops and culture, it's so cool! And today we went to this cool burger place, the shakes were wild! We had baptismal interviews that went well for our friends thanks to our district leader and mission president. My Spanish has come a long way since I've got here, God is good. It's all Him in this work! I bought some Halloween mask, and yeah. It's really funny too, because kids only want money instead of candy for Halloween. 😂 And they dressed up and did that for 4 days after Halloween too! But yeah, I just want to share miracles and cool moments with you. (And remember, miracles come from acting in faith.) 1. We had a baptism yesterday, and the c...
