Friday, August 25, 2023 - Infinite Summer Glitch

HELLO EVERYONE!!

Hope everyone is doing well, we have some big news...I AM 1 MONTH OLD!!! Crazy to think that I have already been out here for that long. I feel like I have been a missionary for so so long but also no time at all. I ALSO GOT MY FLIGHT PLANS! I fly to Panama City at 5:50 in the morning(😭) on September 7th and then fly to El Salvador later that day. Crazy stuff. Less than 2 weeks left in Mexico🤯

In other important news, my spanish teacher Hermano Hernandez got a girlfriend. He was telling us about how Olivia Rodrigo used to make him sad because he would think about his ex, but now not so much. We asked him if he had a girlfriend and he said he did. We were all confused because we had already asked him, and he hit us with one of the coldest bars of all time: "you asked me last week😏." We all freaked out of course. Don't even worry everyone we have met her, she is a teacher here at the Mexico Training Center.

Hernandez is just such a cool guy. He is only 21 so he is basically our age, and he will just do random stuff like say he has the best griddy in Mexico, teach us handshakes, ask if he has rizz, calling us his boys, and randomly start singing pop songs. He definitely helps the 4 hour class go by faster.

In Hunger Games comparison news, there was some extra time after a devotional we had about feeling the Holy Ghost, and the Mission President decided he would call 2 random missionaries to come up and bear their testimony on the spot in front of all 1000 missionaries. Very glad I was not selected for this surprise reaping🫣

Probably the best time of the week is P-Day Eve. P-Day is preparation day, where I don't have classes and can email home. So on P-Day Eve, we go to the store here on the campus and buy snacks, and at night we play games. Last night we invented a new game called Picklesack with some recently gifted pickleball paddles, a hacky sack, and chairs to divide our room. Pictures will be attached, but it is so much fun.

In more sad news, Emma Beckstead, Sadie Willis, and Ryan Whisamore left the CCM this week😭 muy triste. It was really sad to see them go, but as Celine Dion once said, my heart will go on. I am way glad they were able to be here at the same time as me though, it was so so fun. Shoutout to those guys and hopefully Puebla and Uruguay are aware they got some good ones.

The reason for the title of the email is that today is August 25th. I still feel like it is July. It gets weird thinking about people being in school, which is why I am kind of in an infinite summer glitch. There really is no concept of time on my mission, the weather is staying nice, I don't go to school, I just do missionary stuff. I am super grateful for the opportunity to serve the Lord and share his message with others.

Thank you for everyone who responds to my emails! I love reading them! Send me pictures of what you are doing, tell me what you are up to, anything!!

Talk to you all next week!!

Hey everyone! I hope you all had a good Christmas and that you'll enjoy New Years!  Christmas Eve and Christmas were pretty fun! We got to stay out late and ate a lot of food and also sang lots of Christmas Carols so it was pretty fun honestly! We went to a kind of far away part of our area the other day and we got to play soccer with these kids which was pretty fun. We also saw these like 5 random super little puppies which was pretty cute We had a musical number in sacrament where all of the missionaries sang and a family and Investigator of the church played instruments! It was really fun Yesterday it was raining so hard, the streets just completely flooded and we got soaked but our shoes were actually just filled with water it was a little bit uncomfortable hahaha but it was pretty funny I hope everyone has a good New Years!! Talk to you all next week and give me a little update! It's crazy to think that my entire 2024 was here in El Salvador but it was a lot of fun! And I...

Friday, September 1, 2023 - Mason Ramsey in Mexico City💯👀 (EMOTIONAL)

Hey peeps, Things here are starting to get a little more repetitive, but it's ok because my next email that will be sent will be from EL SALVADOR!!! I have about 5 days here left and then I'm off to the actual mission field!! I'm nervous but so so so excited to get going! To close out the Hunger Games at the CCM, we had determined that whoever in our district got picked to speak in church this past week would become Peeta, but sadly no one from our district got picked🤧 or so we THOUGHT. SURPRISE SECOND ROUND REAPING ELDER HALL IS OUR PEETA🦅 There are some Elders here who are going to serve in this rural place in Guatemala and they have to learn this language called xiatchi or something? I don't even know how to spell it, but one of the three bore their testimony in the language and the other said a closing prayer!! Super super cool stuff! Makes me glad I'm just learning spanish😅 We started doing only Spanish classes this week instead of a spiritual class in the m...

Hey everybody! Hope you are all doing well! This week was pretty solid, I'll get into it We had our english class as usual which was pretty fun on Wednesday I went to Santa Tecla for this mission leadership meeting (that I usually don't go to) so that was really fun to go and be back in Merliot and stay the night at my old house where I lived for 7 months, especially because all of my old housemates are still there so that was pretty cool. I also got to see a lot of mission friends which is always fun Other than that we got stranded in Versalles for a sec which was a little stressful, we resorted to hitchhiking because there was no bus but that is what happens I guess. We did eventually get home though A guy that me and Elder LaMarr talked to in the street got baptised yesterday which was super cool! He lives in another area but it was still cool to see that! Have a great week everyone!! Remember to say your prayers! Elder Bacon
