Clean up Time! 1-17-2022

 Hey y'all! Here I am again, livin' the good life! It's been a good week here in Ometoxtla and Coronango, we've seen a lot of blessings and miracles! First of all, on Tuesday we had to go help with transfers with Elder Mendoza who was living with us, and then we had to go meet up somewhere to give the new Hermanas our old phone. We also went and bought a lot of stuff to clean the house, then we went to a Brazilian steakhouse buffet. It was pretty pricey for here in Mexico, but we needed it, and it was pretty good. When we got home, we had a mission correlation meeting for Ometoxtla, and to be honest, it was awesome. These members have a lot of faith and are excited to work with us as new Elders. Afterwards, we went home to clean the house, and we ended up cleaning the house until like 3am, it was quite the mess. But now it's much much better. (This makes his mom proud!) Wednesday we went on a tour in the area with a member, and we visited some families...

 Oh hey everyone! First of all, I'm leaving my area today. Transfer day is here. Elder Arias (my companion) and I will both be leaving here in Almecatla, and they're going to replace us with Hermanas. We are both going to stay together and go to Ometoxla, still in our stake! We said goodbye to a lot of people yesterday, and we cried and we laughed, and all of that. I'm going to miss these wards, but we aren't going too far. It'll be starting from ground zero, so I'm a bit excited but it'll be hard for sure. But who doesn't like a challenge right? This week we also prepared for and had a baptism. It was really great, the water was the warmest it's ever been, everything went pretty well. There were members cleaning the church, so they got to join us for the baptism too! It was great! Their names are Gogan and José, and I baptized Gogan, who is the younger one. As well, they were confirmed members of the church in Sacrament meeting yesterd...

 Hello Everyone! It's been a roller-coaster of a week, that's for sure. Many different things all over the place. Let me fill you in. In the beginning of the week, we contacted a lot by knocking doors, and we saw a lot of success it was awesome. We gave out like 20 copies of the Book of Mormón, and for the first time ever a family let us in to teach a lesson right then and there. Some good stuff, that's for sure. We also prepared quite a bit for a baptism we were supposed to have yesterday, but the kids that were going to be baptized got sick yesterday. It was a little sad, but not to worry, it will happen this week for sure. We just have to remake and print the programs again because now the date is wrong. 😬 We had a pretty good time for New Years, we spent it with a family from the Almecatla 1st ward, and it was really fun. We broke piñatas, we watched them throw fireworks, (because we can't) and we ate a lot. The food we had was called "carnitas...
