P-Day update week 87, 16/10/2023

Hola hola! Espero que todos estén muy bien!!


Well this week has been absolutely nuts! I won't talk a lot about our friends in teaching because
 1. We've decided to clean out the list and stop teaching the majority of our friends because they aren't progressing. 2. I won't be teaching anyone in Americas anymore because of special transfers (I'll talk about that a little bit later!)
But its been a good week, a lot of stuff to do! And I don't have too much time so I'll keep it concise!

I do however want to talk about a cool Family Home Evening we had with a sister in our ward! This sister's name is Charity and she is an absolute reference monster! Very commonly she gives references to the missionaries, and she set up this family home evening so we could meet a few of her neighbors! It was awesome!! We stared off getting to know each other and from there we watched a Book of Mormon video! We watched 3 Nephi 17! If you haven't watched the 3 Nephi 17 video yet I highly recommend it, it's so good! It demonstrates when Christ healed all the sick and afflicted, how he blessed the children, His prayer to the Father, and when the Angels ministered to the people! The spirit is so sweet with that video, and our friends that came felt it as well! We had a great conversation and we're able to set return lessons with them!! And we also ate some great pambasos!!

This last week we also had the opportunity to go back to my old area in Martinez to talk with the District Leaders, and be able to do the baptism for Jaret!! He is one of the friends I taught in Independencia and he asked me to do his baptism for him! It was super interesting to go back to Martinez! After just a few weeks in Xalapa I still saw a big difference in Xalapa in MTZ jaja! It's not exactly the most beautiful place on earth! But we were able to be there and help Jaret on his special day! Everything turned out great and we were able to eat with one of the members I got to know there! And since we couldn't find a bus ticket that same Saturday we had to wait until the next day to travel so we were able to go to church and be there for the confirmation! And also have the change to say hi to the members again!


Post baptism taco dinner!

So there has been a little change in my transfers! When we got back from Martinez at 6:00pm we went and ate with a family because we hadn't eaten the whole day! After eating we got home and we got a call from President! He called us to tell me that I was going to the offices, I'm going to be the new Assistant to President (AP). It caught me off guard to be sure, were halfway through the transfer and we were getting our rhythm but that's fine! It'll be something very new and exciting! So that also means that I had to pack my stuff up quickly for the next day! This morning we got up and dropped my bags off with my new companions in my new house! Then we went to eat and took care of some aux stuff! I had my first office meeting in almost 10 months. My second time in the offices, its good to he back haha!! 

Well that's it for now! God loves you all! And so do I!! Keep praying and keep studying! I'll see y'all soon!

It's been a week! Not necessarily a great week, but a week nonetheless! Not too much happened so it'll probably be a shorter letter this time. Before anything, I'll let you guys know that I was once again sick this week. This whole week I've been wrestling with a nasty cough and just really bad cold-like symptoms. One day I called the medical coordinator of the mission who is also the President's wife and asked for some advice. She told me it might just be allergies and prescribed me Benadryl at night. Unfortunately it didn't really work. So I just decided to hang on for a few days. This morning I woke up and I couldn't smell :// I went to the pharmacy with Elder Mendoza and we bought a Covid test, we also had an extra test result block thing. We headed home and I took the test. Oh, he got me! That's right folks I have COVID! So that's why I felt like death this week. That means I'm just going to have more time to study this coming week!  Positiv

Hola a todos! Espero que hayan disfrutado mucho su semana y que hayan disfrutado mis correos!! Well well well, I don't know when this happened but we got to my last email. These past few weeks have been a little bit of the same but there are some cool experiences I wanted to share with y'all!! Amairany's baptism! First we finally finished all the house inspections in the mission! After three weeks and many many hours of traveling we visited the 68 different houses in the mission and made sure that everyone was living in good conditions and properly cleaning their home! We saw some really cool quite clean houses, and some very not cool very dirty houses, it was definitely an experience!! One of the coolest things is that with this trip I officially got to see every single area of the mission, from Teocelo in the south then to Cerro Azul 9 hours all the way to the north. I'm so grateful to have been assigned to the Mexico Xalapa Mission, it is the greatest mission on the

 ¡¡Hola a todos!! I write this email to you all on the brink of death. The rains kept coming and I've caught a really bad cold! I guess I only get one week of health and 18 of sickness haha!! But besides rain and sickness it's been a slower week, so not too much to mention :/ My new companion, Elder Mendoza. This week has been pretty interesting, a little stressful, but that gives flavor to life. I started the week off by staying Monday night with the closest companionship to Zacapoaxtla, two Elders who live in Tlatlauqui, about 45 minutes away. It normally wouldn't be anything interesting, but because they ran out of gas, I had to take a shower by heating up some buckets of water and showering one bowl at a time! It was so cool. I felt like an olden times knight showering after a long day of battle! The next day was even more fun! I had to chance to help one of our Zone Leaders receive the new missionaries. It was interesting to think that just a few short months ago I was
