hay almas para guiar

  -lost the phone, whatsapp web, paper planner ¡Hola a todos!  This week I'm very crunched for time but I'll make sure to fit in the good stuff, I know I say that every time but this time it's true haha!!                    All the keys we have in our house, we had to try and open one of our gates! This week has gone by super fast, probably one of, if not the fastest weeks I've had on my mission so far! We've basically just been running around like crazy these past few days, doing all the things that had to be done as we prepare to finish this month. One of those big things we had to do this week was get everything ready for our wedding and subsequent baptism happening in the coming week! So thanks to me having already married one couple up to this point I have just a little experience with all the documents and everything required to help the wedding come to pass! (Side note: I feel like my English is getting worse e...

  Hola Hola!! This week has gone by sooo fast! My companion has been a little sick, but we still tried to have a successful week, and saw some miracles!! But once again, a little crunched for time so I'll try to make it quick!! Carl's Junior Thanks to Xalapa being the "main city" in the mission we are the first place to have a Zone Conference. So that means we get it in week three!! On Wednesday we started off our Zone Conference activities with interviews. We got there early and ate cookies as people started getting their interviews, it's always nice to have time to talk with the zone! Everyone is so nice and we all get along very well!! After a good bit of time talking and eating cookies, it was my turn to have my interviews with President and Hermana Perkins!! They always give the best advice! And I'm so happy to have them as my mission leaders! Hermana Perkins has been a big help, just talking about my life up until the mission, some of the trials I faced ...

  Hola a todos!! This week has gone by suuuper fast! I feel like I was just writing my last email! But we've been working really hard and have had a nice full week! All the Elders that shaved their heads at the MLC. All those at the conference Selfie on Hermana Perkins phone at the conference! So first things first, last Monday was my first Pday here in Xalapa, it was so much fun! I can't remember if I've already talked about it, but if I have, I guess I'm just reiterating my point haha!! So every P-Day our Zone and the other zone in Xalapa go to one of the church buildings and play basketball with President Perkins! It was absolutely nuts!! There were so many people there, and it was amazing! Just about all the Elders showed up and we played basketball for about three hours!! President Perkins actually played basketball at Rick's College, and he hasn't list his flow yet. So even though he may look old, he's got some play in him! We continued the day with so...

¡¡Bonito día!! This week has been great, a lot of getting used to a new area and new people, but a lot of really cool experiences!! New Companionship! So we started off our week by just getting to our new areas. On Monday we made sure to spend a lot of our time just cleaning, packing, getting ready for transfers, and saying goodbyes! But Tuesday was a little more exciting, we started off our day with a breakfast goodbye at President Luis' house. The food was good, they made us pancakes I think. I honestly wasn't thinking a lot about the food and more just about how this is going to be my last time with president Luis' and his family for a very long time! So I made sure to make the most of it and crack a lot of jokes and made sure we stay in contact after I leave! Once we had finished eating we all said goodbye, for hopefully not too long of a time, And got our bags ready for a taxi ride to Zaragoza! We got there expecting to meet with one last hermana before we left but she...

  Hola Hola!! Its been a pretty good week here in Zacapoaxtla, the weekend was a little crazy, but in a good way!! My first Mexican glass of Coke. It was as good as they say.  Alright so I'm sure I've talked about how amazing our branch is, here in Zacapoaxtla. All the members are amazing people, so kind and friendly, and truly help us a lot with the missionary work here! Just this past Tuesday the Elders quorum put together an activity to go visit the less active families in the branch! Early on Tuesday morning us four missionaries with another five members of the Elders quorum all met up at our house of prayer. Which for some people is a 2 hour drive from their house, and yet they made the journey just to help the other families, it's truly wonderful to see such committed disciples!! Anyway after we all got together we headed out, first to Zaragoza. After not having much success with our first couple stops, we went to the house of a man who was baptized about a month befo...
