Zach's Mission

Hey everyone! Hope you all are doing well! I'm going into the last full week of my mission! We had intercambios with Los Ríos this week, and I was with Elder Concepción! It was a lot of fun! We also had multizona with our new mission president, President Galán! It was really good and we had interviews too. It was crazy that it was my last one! I gave my final testimony in a zoom meeting of the whole mission, it was crazy that that moment finally came We went to this waterfall for our pday, it was a lot of fun! This is my last full week, I'm going to finish out strong. It's like the black mamba once said, "what's there to be happy about? Job's not finished. Is the job finished? I don't think so" Until next time Elder Bacon

Hello! This week was a crazy one! There is this Kung Fu Panda icecream here that is pretty good I'm a big fan, it's only 85 cents so I buy it a lot I made this weird video where I put all this ketchup in my mouth and all over my face it will be in my google photos On Wednesday I had an intercambio in this area called Nahulingo, it's like a lot of just jungle and it was a lot of fun. I was with Elder Van Houten and he is awesome! On Thursday Yeimi got baptised! Her sister and mom got baptised recently so it was really awesome that she could get baptised too! On Friday I had my final interviews with President and Sister Breinholt, they go home on Wednesday. We went to the temple and had a fancy dinner with them as well, and then stayed the night in San Salvador. It is usually the very last thing that the leaving missionaries do, but I still have a couple of weeks left but it was really fun to be with them and say goodbye! On Sunday we had stake conference so I got to see some...

Hi everyone! Another week down! First off thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes! We lost a game in the zone and had to get shaving creamed in the face, that was kinda fun I had divisions with Elder Ehmke and we are going home at the same time, and it was really fun to talk to him about his plans for after the mission and stuff like that On Saturday I got to go to the temple with one of my converts from about 16 months ago, it was a super cool experience to go through the temple with him for the first time! Covenants are so important! He is also getting sealed to his wife on Friday! I built this lego temple that my mom sent me for Christmas, it was really time consuming but it's my gift to the La Ponderosa house I bought these 2 pairs of shoes from this lady for $15, and they are worth like $300 in total sticker price, I can't really remember, but major bag alert out here in the 503🤑 We went to the smoothie place again, I got this purple one and it's soooooo good, I do...

Hey everybody! Well, I have exactly 1 month left of my mission, I've got to make it count! This week was fun, we had a meeting in San Salvador and I got to see a lot of friends in the mission! We had a loooooot of travels but it was super fun because we were with other missionaries, it was almost like a free day hehe There is this kind of infamous place here in my area called Smoothies Factory, and it's sooooooooo good. I got this mango smoothie and as I'm writing this email when there is no water left in this chapel it's making me so thirsty😭 We had intercambios this week and I went with my mission "brother" and it was pretty fun to talk to him and catch up! We got McDonald's today💪 Hope you all are doing well! See you soon! Elder Bacon

Hey everyone! It was a good week! First bit here in La Ponderosa has been good!  We met this pig named Nacho, he's huge and stinks so bad We did a service project helping someone build a house, it was cool! We met a lady with a pet squirrel, her name is Santiago because the lady thought she was a male I got my haircut today and the lady took a picture for the Instagram so I'm gonna be famous Hope you are all doing well!! Love you all!! Elder Bacon

Hey everyone! Well it's official, tomorrow I start my last transfer in the mission! I very surprisingly got transferred for my last transfer after just 1 transfer here, and I'm going to an area called La Ponderosa in this city called Sonzacate. My companion will be Elder Bernal, he is from Mexico, and I don't really know him but I think it will be fun! This week was pretty good, it was fun to be with Elder Perry for the last week, but also say bye to the members and people we have been teaching This family we have been teaching threw me a mini party with fireworks and a pinata it was super nice!  One of Elder Perry's converts went through the temple for the first time on Saturday so we got to go! It was really fun! We also ran into some friends in the area close by and got lunch with them at the distribution center which was a lot of fun too Overall it was a good week, and it's crazy that this transfer is over and that I'm already leaving, but I'm excited to...
