Tres Dias en Mexico! 9-25-2021

Hola todos! So my P-day is Saturday for now.

So I made it down here safe to Mexico on Tuesday, and I am doing well! I don't understand the language really that much, so that's frustrating sometimes but I'm learning lots of patience! But I get lots of time each day to study Spanish which is good!

My companions name is Elder Robinson, he's from Bountiful Utah! Thankfully his Spanish is pretty good though. Mine is not so good yet. 😂 I also live with Elder Malacara (bad face) and Elder Albrecht (who was in my MTC district). It's a good time! We kind of work as a 4 man companionship right now, and it's kinda interesting. We are in what's called the Facebook zone. We don't get to use Facebook find through our own personal profiles, we just run a Facebook page. It's not my favorite, but that's not all we do thankfully.

We are also allowed to go in the streets to find people (which we haven't gotten to do yet) and we call through area book a lot. We have tons and tons of green and yellow dots. (Green dots mean people that are being taught, and yellow is people that are interested) And almost everyone that picks up the phone wants to hear a message from us, it's crazy! So we've been setting up lesson after lesson, it's such a blessing. We have a baptism this Sunday that I made a program for, so that's pretty cool! The work is good here.

The weather in Puebla is perfect, it rains every day a little bit, and we have some massive mountains near us, it's awesome. I had a window seat flying into Mexico, I was lucky. I do miss Michigan, but I'm doing good here. Living the dream!

We also didn't have water yesterday at all, which was quite the experience! No bathroom, no washing hands, no drinking water, nothing. We just barely got it back this morning haha. We found out there is a pump to a well we need to use every once and a while, so that's good to know for the future.

Love you all, have a great week!

Please pray for:

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...
