P-Day update week 96 y 97, 12/25/2023

Feliz Navidad y Prospero año a todos!!


It's been a really good couple weeks over here in the MMX! There has been a lot of change, and I'm short on time but let me jump into it!!

First we had transfers last week, our companion Elder Moreno finished his mission. It was sad to see him go, but I know he has so many plans and things he wants to accomplish when he gets home and I hope he can!! And with the transfers we received the new missionaries and had their orientation! That part was very strange because there were two missionaries that didn't arrive with everyone else. One missionary lost his flight in Mexico City and didn't get in until 12:30am! And the other got in one day early and had to stay with the mission President in Veracruz until the next day we could go pick him up! Besides that everything went well, it's a grat group of young men and women and I'm so excited to see them work hard and grow as they start their missions! Also, we've been enjoying our new (my old) area of Alborada!

We've been working hard this week and ratifying about the birth of Jesus Christ to all who will listen to us. We've been singing Christmas Carols, showing videos and really doing all we can to help those around us learn about Jesus Christ and his birth! It's been a great time for Elder Morales and I, we have found some truly elect people and had the chance to have a lot of interaction with the members! This area is just as fruitful as it was last year when I was here and it's gotten even stronger with the support of the ward! I'm so happy to be here and have the chance to finish my mission in one of, if not my favorite areas!!

Honestly not too much interesting had happened besides preaching the good word, but I'm happy. I'm glad to serve the Lord and be one of his representatives. This coming email I will explain a bit more about our friends in teaching and tell some of the miracles we've seen with them, but for now Zion prospers! It hasn't been easy with the cold, but we've been adapting and keeping warm with the flame of our testimonies haha (and hot chocolate)!

I love you all so much, I wish you a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year!! Never forget the reason of the season, it is him, Christ Jesus.

Tacos Don Gus, oh how I've missed you!

 ¡Hola a todos! It has been an amazing week here in the land of milk and honey! We've been continuing to work hard and continuing to have a wonderful time! Easter morning baptism This week has been like the last couple, we get up very early, work hard and open our mouths to everyone we see and we get home late. I'm starting to get used to my 70+hr work weeks without pay or vacation time haha, but seriously the work has actually been fun, I love that preaching about Jesus is my job! Of course there have been a few rough days here and there though, in fact on Tuesday morning I woke up with really bad stomach pain, and I ended up spending half my day in bed and the other half running to the bathroom. It wasn't pretty but Elder Nielson and another elder went out to get me Mexican Gatorade. It was really bad but it definitely helped! And besides that the work has been treating me pretty well! If y'all remember Albert and Daisy from my last email, then you'll remember tha

Muy buenos dias amigos y amigas! This was a pretty good week here in Independencia! It wasn't as hot as last week so we got a little break from the heat and we were able to make a lot of big strides with our friends! Some strides backwards but necessary steps! Divisions with Elder Garcia Zona Martinez The Funeral To start off, like I mentioned last week we had MLC on Tuesday! Monday morning we drove down and spent the day in Xalapa! We went to Plaza Animas first and had some great food, and like last time I ran into some friends from my time in Xalapa! We also used some of our day shopping in Plaza Americas and in this little alley in Centro called "El callejón de Diamantes". After a good nights rest we studied the talk President sent to all of us and headed to the Council! There are a few new Zone Leaders this transfer, one of them is and Elder that was already Zone Leader before and has come back to the assignment. He's actually my mission brother (his trainer was E

Buenos días a todos!! Well not a lot happened this week that was very memorable! We've been working to find new people and we've been helping a few of our friends get ready for baptism!! New PMGs shrunk down into books! I'll shoot in some bullet points of the highlights since there isn't too much to mention this week! -Started off the week with a meeting with the stake presidency where we talked about the missionaries and the stake! We're excited to get some more things rolling as we work together! -It's been a little hard when it comes to the ward. Everyone is great but everyone is leaving, we found out that almost ten members of the ward are moving away in these next couple weeks which is super sad! But it just means we have to work harder to fill the roles in the ward with new people!! The spirit? The force? Who knows. Cool sunset -it's been raining a lot and I find myself with a small cold so please pray I can have a quick recovery and be back to normal
