P-Day update week 90, 11/06/2023

Buenas tardes a todos!!


I'm running low on time today so I'm going to have to put just some quick bullet points!

The two misioneros I trained and Elder Prescott, one of my "grandsons" in the mission

-We did Audits during all the Interviews in the zones of Xalapa and Macuilteptl. It took the whole day one Zone so we spent a lot of time at President's house this week!

-We had our Zone Conference! It's weird because we already know and have seen what President and Hermana Villanueva talk about and of course what we talk about but we had some really good classes from the Zone Leaders and the Sister Training Leaders! Also one of my old companions Elder Galvez sang an awesome special musical number with another sister in his Zone, they sang Savior Redeemer of My Soul in Spanish and English!

-We received a lot of references from social media and other people this week and we found some new people!! I'll mention briefly Genina and Fabby. They are two women that live in our area and are friends of a member in the other stake. He sent us their numbers a few days ago and we quickly got into contact with them to set up a meeting. We set it up for Sunday and ended up having a great lesson! They have been through some hard trials but they are ready to receive the Restored Gospel!

Breakfast at IHOP!

We bought matching Lakers jerseys because our area is called "Los Lagos" (The Lakes)

My companions and I dressed up as President VIllanueva for Halloween! He got a good kick out of this!!


-We had a lot of work to do in the offices this week, I say offices but we have a laptop that we just bring with us to President's house or we use here in the house to do our stuff. But we're getting everything ready for the transfers and for the Champions that are coming in. It's mentally very tiring but I'm getting accustomed!

-Today we went and visited a lot of Converts and Member friends of Elder Buer so he could say goodbye to them thanks to the fact that he is going home this week! We ate approximately 4 times!!

1. iHop breakfast as a reward for working out everyday for a month 11:00am
2. Bishop in his old ward 2:00pm
3. Converts from his old ward 3:00pm
4. Dinner with family in the ward 8:30pm

We came back to the house full of food about ready to burst! But that's just how it goes here sometimes!!

That's it for the highlights this week. It's been a busy week but we didn't have a lot of time to do much normal missionary work. I'm still getting adjusted but it's been fun to learn so many new things! Don't ever stop learning friends, it's one of the biggest reasons we are here, to learn new things and grow. Keep pushing yourselves to try new things and that is for everyone. Even if you're 18 or 118 keep learning and growing everyday!!
I love you all so much! Have a great week y'all!

-Elder Garnica

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 ...

-Miracles (Doña pili, Francisca, y Elio fam) Muy buenas tardes a todos ustedes! Espero que hayan tenido unas semanas excelentes!! I know I haven't written an email in a couple weeks, but really there wasn't too much to talk about the last two weeks! We've been super busy running around doing a lot of administrative stuff, but this last week we had some really cool experiences!!! MTZ/TEZ Zone Conference! To start off, there us one thing I should mention that happened a few weeks ago, like you all know every month we have a MLC. We usually do one month in person here in Xalapa and one month on Zoom, this month it was on Zoom! We had been thinking a lot about what we wanted to do in the meeting, and we came up with a few different ideas! We talked a lot about how revelation works, specifically what our stewardship is. This came up due to our recent focus on Standards of Excellence, a certain number of new friends, lessons with members, church attendances, etc. That we should a...

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...
