Zach's Mission

Hey everybody!! Kind of a full week so let's get into it👉 -I had exchanges with the zone leaders and I went to La Cima with Elder Smith! He is really cool and it was a lot of fun. We found this guy who had a ton of Nazi stuff from Germany like Hitler stamps and stuff which was a little disturbing but he was just selling it, he also collects money from other countries. Their house also has air conditioning in the one room so I felt like I was sleeping in a hotel it was awesome -so we did a service project this week. There is a lady here (the fishtank lady from last week for the avid readers) and she wanted help cleaning her house. We were like sure yeah we can get the district to come and help, but little did we know it was a house that had lots of poop and water so much of the cleaning of the house was sweeping cat poop water, it was so special. As you can imagine the Hermanas were not too happy with me for nominating everyone to help😅 -we had multizona this week! This is where h...

Hey guys!! Things have been starting to go by a lot faster recently, crazy summer break will be starting for a lot of you guys really soon here! We went to go and visit this one lady who got baptised not too long ago, and she told us she needed our help to go and visit someone. She is a lil cooky I can't lie, and so we start walking pretty far to her house and she says she is looking for an aquarium. Then we show up to this flower store and she says we have to go back so we travel like 20 more minutes and she just takes us to this fish tank store and gets the ladies number and then we kind of just left. It was interesting but after she helped us find a different recent convert to the church we also didn't know so W Me and Hendel got milk shakes the other day, it was so good I was a big fan This senior missionary (a guy who is here serving a shorter mission with his wife) that is like 60 sent a 1 minute voice message in a chat of missionaries and it was just silent until the las...

Hey guys!! I forgot my journal with all the stuff that happened during the week at home so I'm doing this one off the dome -we helped a member who has started coming back to church move! She afterwards invited like 6 of her friends over to hear our message so that was awesome! -I got pretty sick for a day/night. Bad fever and unhappy bathroom trips💩 -we got lost in another area of the mission and it took us like a little over 2 hours to get back home. Looooots of walking and busses. But we made it! -a member gave me a Taco Bell burrito. Streak of not eating Taco Bell on the mission = 💀 -my companion is the "rey de los tacos" at this family's house because he beat the taco record of missionaries that have eaten at their house with 15. The previous record was 14. Legend That's all I can remember from this week!! Sorry it's a little lame, but I love you all! Send me a little update with some pictures! Elder Bacon

Hey everybody!!! General Conference was this week!!! It was so awesome to hear the words of the prophet and apostles, and man did I learn so so much!!! You should all go and give it a read/watch!!! You can find it on our church website!!! This few days with Elder Hendel has been great!! We have a lot of really really fun talks that are super fun and complex. We talked about cereal for like 30 minutes one day and have been talking about movies a ton because he wants to be a film critic. It's super fun! Most of the weekend was taken up by conference, but it was really awesome. One thing that really stood out from my was an idea from Elder Gong. We are all going to have trials. Trials that we would NEVER choose for ourselves. But, those trails can bless us and others in ways that we would never have thought possible. Super cool. Also when we have trials we should stop thinking "why" and start thinking "what?" What can I learn? What can I do to make use of this tria...

Hey guys!! Transfer news!! I am staying here in this area for another transfer, but I am getting a new companion Elder Hendel! He has actually been in this zone for 2 transfers already with me so I know him but I'm excited and we should have a lot of fun together!! He is from Detroit where I was born so it should be a good time! Also they are combining the 2 areas here, so my area is the same but it's now double in size which is kind of crazy but it will be a nice change of pace! I randomly has like a 101.1 fever for 3 days at the beginning of last week, not quite sure why but it wasn't fun. Just popped some ibuprofen and kept movin🫨 This random dude on a bus had a BYU shirt, GO COUGS🤙 My sister Ava turned 17 this week, major major shoutout to the goat🐐 We watched a fantastic basketball game in the park this week. There was this like 50 year old lady with rec specs and everything and she was lowkey a bucket, and then this other dude who was just so much taller than every...
