I hope you are all doing well! This past week was pretty baller and we found a lot of great success! I am going to try and recount everything that happened but when it comes to the point where I have to write this email, I feel like we didn't do anything too crazy. But I promise you all that I am staying obedient and working really hard! 


La Garcia



We went on exchanges with the boy, Elder Mendoza! The man is such a stud and we are definitely going to be roommates at the start of my second year of college when he gets back. That's right I ain't getting married quick like the rest of the ex-missionary simps! :) Also shoutout to my New York trainer for getting engaged this last week. You will be missing a huge life of a party at your wedding but I'm sure my mom with make a great replacement.

While we were on exchanges, we passed by this Catholic lady on the street and she invited us into her house. We began talking about religion and everytime we asked her about anything controversial she just responded "I'm just Catholic". It went on for 30 minutes until we gave up and left. When we finished the prayer at another lesson, the grandma and mom said, "OH MY GOSH you two are SO CUTE together! You HAVE to send us a wedding invitation!!" The funny part is that we just finished teaching them the Law of Chastity so we knew instantly who was really paying attention. It made us question being roommates after the mish.

Buenas Tardes

I got sick again... it's starting to become a weekly thing. #lloroconchorro

We put the newbie up front in the taxi to help him learn how to contact. The new Elder started talking, looked back at me occasionally to help him with words and translating what the taxi driver said. The taxi driver realized instantly that the missionary was new and started saying a ton of cuss words... Taxista: "Esa madre está bien chingona!"  New Innocent Missionary: "Simon! Esa madre está bien chingona!!"  I was dying laughing and we had to tell him in english to stop repeating the taxi driver.

El Tingey y Los Days

The Newbie missionary and I contacted a guy on the street and it turns out that the whole fam bam is really interested! This area that I am in is really difficult because the investigators progress really slow. But I am trying to be patient and understand that fast progress doesn't happen like it does in Petromex. But we are baptizing someone on Sunday so we are chilling! 

Los Elderes

All of our elect people turn out to live in other areas... we've passed a good 10 people over to the missionaries in the area next to us and a baptismal date for this Sunday to the Assistants who live on the other side of our area. I feel like I am working for every area except my own but we chillin! Souls saved I can't complain.

La zonaaaa


The Bishop's daughter in my last area sent me a message and said "te espero <3" which means "I am waiting for you". Mexico is an interesting place sometimes. Help.

Semana One: Welcome Everybody! (August 26, 2020)

Hola amigos y familia!!! WOW!!  This week has been so incredible and incredibly long haha! But I have loved every second of it. Last Wednesday I started the at home MTC experience and I mean it when I say it, it has completely changed my life. It's so crazy how in such a short amount of time my attitude towards EVERYTHING has changed tremendously. Not gonna lie, I was a little bitter and upset about doing the at home MTC initially, but it is seriously so much fun!  My district is so money and we have the best teachers! Hermana Mejia and Hermano Gallegos. My district is straight "GOAT"ed and I love every single one of them! We have learned so much together as a district and our español is definitely improving. After just one week at the MTC I've been able to say my prayers in Spanish, bear my testimony, and memorize some scriptures! I guess you can say it's coming along well! It has definitely been hard adjusting to the new missionary life and saying goodbye to the

Semana 81: Make Love, Not War

Image
The title comes from a Mexican missionary shouting, "Make Love!! Not War!!" in a district council. Just about all of our district speaks English so when he made that error, we all dropped to the floor laughing. I guess that's one way to solve the crisis happening in Ukraine right now.  Hermana Sedgwick I went on exchanges with the stud Elder Robertson!! He was the Canadian missionary in my MTC district and one of our best zone leaders. It was so fun! Familia Mota We were at our recent converts house. He was feeling pretty sick so we walked him over to his bed. We were talking to his daughters and his wife when all of a sudden we heard this loud bang on the floor. We looked over and it was our convert that had fallen off the bed. He had a seizure which caused him to fall off the bed and smacked his face so hard on the cement floor that he was unconscious. We all freaked out and lifted him up onto the bed. He was snoring and breathing really heavily but he would not wake up

Semana 18: ITS CHRISTMAS TIME BABYYYYY

Image
Hellooooo everybody! I hope y'all are staying safe out there and partying hard. Christmas season is the BEST out here on the mish because so many more hearts are open and receptive to the message of the restored gospel. We have seen so many miracles here in Norwich and in the Syracuse Mission. Boy this week was a longgggg one and a great one. I am so beyond blessed to be here during these exciting times!  Before the Nor'easter And After.....this AZ boy is like, whoa!!! So it turns out one of our friends, Barbara, lives outside of our area. We had to refer her off which was such a sad day because she was so sweet and loving. We gave her a call and broke the sad news to her and she was very understanding. But before we hung up, she started serenading us to some Christian hymn and it was really sweet. A little off tune, but hey I don't blame her because I can't carry a tune myself. We had to mute the phone for some of it because we were laughing so hard that this 80 year o
