Semana 90: I'm Alive

HELLOO!! Thanks to being so busy and a lack of desire to write weekly emails these past 2 months, y'all have missed out on some pretty entertaining stuff. Tough... wouldn't wanna be ya. Jk Here's a recap...

Guapetón

I just started my 3rd transfer in Los Lagos. I have a new companion named Elder Robertson who was in my MTC district. It's amazing to see how much we've changed in almost 2 years. He is from Canada and we get along really well. Also, he's my first companion that is not Mexican so I am pretty excited for that.

Elder Robertson

Over the past 6 weeks, we helped 6 new people come to Christ by making lifelong covenants with Him through baptism. Iaan, Andrea, Elodia, Rosa, Sarahi, and Julio Cesar are amazing converts and have an incredible desire to come closer to Christ. Over these weeks, 3 converts of mine received the priesthood and a couple is preparing to go through the temple! The gospel really changes lives!

We have had several zone conferences and MLC trainings.

My comp and I went on Mega Exchanges. We dedicated an entire week to go on exchanges in every struggling area in the 4 zones up north. The Zone leaders in each zone went with us and we were able to find several people that are now preparing to be baptized. Our goal is to make every area baptize at least 1 person a month. Those exchanges consisted of not having time to eat, sleeping on the floor every night, bus rides in the middle of the night, and no sleep. But we did visit some ancient Pyramids in Tajin to finish off the exchanges with a bang before we went back to Xalapa.

We went to a zone named Teziutlan and spent 2 days with President visiting ancient pyramids, magic cities, eating in fancy restaurants and staying in a hotel because we helped him baptize 3 people. We finished that trip with a stake conference.

Here are some quick recaps of President these weeks
  1. Several missionaries went home early last transfer for health and disobedience reasons
  2. President rear ended a Coke truck
  3. A sister missionary wore a sweater to interviews that said "I'd rather be someone's shot of whiskey than their cup of tea" .... President was crying laughing
  4. President forgot his towel after the baptism and sat in the bathroom for 20 minutes and we had no clue where he was
  5. President smacked Betsy's (his car) mirror into a telephone poll
  6. President called 3 gangsters on the street to repentance and he almost got hit 
  7. President got pickpocketed by little kids 
  8. President banned watching Disney movies from the mission, however he approved Coco and Elf. Elf??
  9. President shared hilarious stories of his life before the mission
Only 11 weeks left! I'm definitely not trunky... okay a little bit. Have a great week!

Atentamente,

Elder Scown

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

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
