Panotla, Tezoquipan, San Pablo del Monte, San Pablo Xochimehuacan ... Arkansas?? 5-9-2022

 Hey what's up everyone! I hope you all had a great Mother's Day. I hope that you all got something or did something for your mothers and I hope that all you mothers didn't go unappreciated yesterday. I love you all, thank you for what you do for your families and the examples you show to the world. Keep it up! 😁


This week was pretty busy, and I was all over the place. We had exchanges twice, and we had a mission leadership council in Puebla that was really good. I also gave a talk yesterday in church, and we found some new people and invited some people to be baptized. 😁

So we started off some exchanges last Monday night with the Elders from Tezoquipan and it was a good old time. I went in their area with the district leader Elder Gomez, and it was a good day. We taught some members, invited 3 people to be baptized and they all accepted. One of the coolest parts was visiting a recent convert family, and they shared their testimonies with us of how the gospel has changed their lives so much and it was so awesome. The gospel changes everyone's life, trust me.

I didn't get back to my area until Wednesday morning, and that day we went over to the Totolac ward and we taught this guy named Jesus Cordero Salvatierra (yes that's his real name, super cool) and he's great. We visited another sister and invited her 3 grandkids to be baptized, and they accepted. We got fed burgers that day. 💪 Then the assistants came that night to sleep at our house, and we didn't get home until like 10. 😬

The next day, Elder Lockwood and I went to the assistants area which is the Barrio Malinche, and we went to work. It was a good day, we got to teach a good amount of people. And then the others Elders came back down to spend the night in preparation for the MLC. 

Friday morning we had the council, and it was really good as always. The faith and love and success in this mission has been escalating even though every transfer we have less and less missionaries. (Right now we have 70). It's great. So we had to travel back to Tlaxcala and we taught a couple lessons to finish the night.

Saturday I was a little tired to be honest from all the events we'd had during the week. But we had the opportunity to give a blessing to a person that's not a member, and that's always cool. We had a few lessons that day too.

Sunday I was asked to give a talk at church, kinda last minute, but I'm used to that by now. Thats what we do in lessons all the time. I was going to give a talk about Mothers Day, but my companion told me Mother's Day in Mexico isn't until Tuesday. So I gave a talk based on what President Nelson talked about in General Conference. I think it was OK. Afterwards we were invited to Ward Council for the first time in this area, so that's a good sign. Things are going a little better with the members.

Also, we got new beds this morning, God is good! (My last bed had like a crater in it. 😂) 

I love you all, have a great 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...
