Semana 65: Exchanges and Fireworks

What's good my guys


Exchanges

My mother told me last night that some dudes straight up yeeted themselves into a zone conference with 70 missionaries in the México Torreon mission. Prayers out to my fellow México missionaries in Torreon. 😞 

Street Contacting

On Pday we had a water balloon fight. We couldn't find water balloons so we bought normal balloons and filled them up with water. It was brutal. They hurt a ton. We played capture the flag with the water balloons but there was a little twist... missionaries just started hucking fireworks from every which direction. Water balloon fight turned to a battle field... México. 

Also on Pday, we played some soccer. I accidentally pulled a Tanner Day back in unified sports and kicked one of my companions. I'm pretty sure I did something with my big toe because after it was swollen and I could barely walk. But now everything seems to be fine.

Zone Calls

Tuesday and Wednesday I was on exchanges with the other zone leader and one of the APs. We were in the other zone leaders area in Gutiérrez Zamora, which is right next to the beach. We put 2 people on date for baptism and found a lot of success those 2 days. We even went street contacting on the beach which we learned fast that it was not the greatest idea because we only attracted drunk/half naked men. 

Selfie

We opened up a house in one of our areas.  We are hoping for more success in this area because of this. 

Our family of 6 on date are still going strong and came to church again. This time they were all way comfortable, the dad was popping off in Elders quorum testifying that everything we've taught him is true. Love them

Youth Activity

Besides that, nothing crazy has happened. Just work work work. I love it. I love being a missionary! 

Have a great week!!

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
