Elder Williams Mission

¡Hola todos! It has been a crazy week, and a good one! As you know, we had transfers and I'm here in Almecatla with Elder Arius. We are more out in the countryside and there are so many stray dogs, just everywhere. We haven't had any try to eat us, so that's cool. We are covering 2 wards in this area so we're kept busy. We also had zone conference and thankfully I didn't have to do too much of a training. We set up situations to practice yeah for our zone, but I didn't have to say too much which was nice. My Spanish still isn't polished. But one thing President taught that's stuck with me is that obedience is better than sacrifice. Because obedience is the first law of heaven, and what all commandment are built upon. We also had some great lessons with people. We were teaching this lady named Paulina and we taught her the plan of Salvation which was powerful, and another day we taught the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It was a really powerful moment, tears wer...

 Oh hey everyone! So these past 3 days (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) us and the Puebla South Mission did service for about 14 hours each day to help people here in Puebla get the vaccine! It was absolutely crazy, and fun! We were on our feet most of the time helping people fill out paperwork or organizing it for them, as well as directing people, answering questions for them, and the sorts. We helped over 54,000 people those 3 days to get the vaccine, and it felt like a lot more people. The line was over 3 miles long to get inside the whole time. One of the craziest experiences of my life! But it helped me to learn a lot more Spanish and learn how to be quick when speaking. I really enjoyed it.  We also had a sacrament meeting after service on Sunday at like 7pm with both missions. It was so cool! Both Mission Presidents and their wives gave talks. One word that was repeated by all of them was "Maravilloso" (marvelous). They talked about the feeling of serving ...

  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...
