Monday, April 21, 2025 - Walmart!

Hey everyone!

Well it was a long week with the transition to the new area! I like my companion Elder Perry a lot, he is super funny and really humble so we are getting along super well, it will be a good transfer for sure

I said goodbye to everyone in Lourdes, and then on Wednesday I was off to the new area! It's a different part of the city than I was used to from before, I didn't really realize how high the elevation is here, but I guess that's why they call it "good view". It's been pretty fun here overall, we also share the ward with 2 other missionaries which is fun to see them at meals and ward activities

Elder Perry got a soy sauce packet exploded on him which was pretty funny, a car ran it over and it blew up on his shirt. Also we were walking down the street and someone was listening to "All I Want for Christmas is You" so that was kind of weird. We left and walked with this 93 year old member here and he almost fell over twice I had to catch him, I don't think we are going to let him leave with us anymore😅

So here in this zone there is like nothing to do, but the most goated thing ever is that there is a Walmart so we went, and I actually felt like a kid in a candy shop I wanted to buy everything. It was so awesome. It just has everything. It was soooooo awesome. I love Walmart I was tripping though because I felt like I wasn't in the mission anymore

If I'm being honest, being here has been a little bit of an adjustment. It feels weird knowing that I am probably going to finish my mission here, and it isn't really where I wanted to be. I have been making a very large effort to not be selfish! It is something that is so easy, but I have to remember that this isn't my work, it's the Lord's! So I have been remembering that and making the most of where I'm at! I love you all, and remember to try and not be selfish even though it's hard😂 love you all!

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...

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
