Monday, July 29, 2024 - 1 Year📆

Hey guys!

This week was pretty fast and it's crazy to think that this transfer is almost over. I'll get into the week!

Last Monday we went to dinner with this guy who got baptised about a year ago and he works at a call center and speaks English but also loves all kinds of US shows and music so it was pretty funny to talk to him about all kinds of stuff

We had another migration appointment this week, which means only 1 more left so we are all good almost for the transfer

I did an intercambios with Elder Schumann today, which was kind of funny because we do intercambios anyway all the time being in the office together but it was still fun to spend the day talking and contacting

I really can't remember much about the week, but I do want to talk a little bit about this year that I've had as a missionary. I would say that this was the hardest year of my life, but it has also been the year where I have grown the most. I have been stretched quite a bit in a lot of ways, with lots of responsibility, a diligent schedule, learning Spanish, and overall just living in El Salvador away from family and friends. But, I have learned a lot about myself, faith, and doing hard things. It has definitely not been smooth sailing the whole time but I also am so greatful for the time I have had here in El Salvador so far, and I'm excited for the time that I have left as well. I love you all, and if you haven't messaged me yet or it's been a while, now is a great time to send me an email. Thanks for reading,

Elder Bacon

Monday, December 30, 2024 - Puppy Army🐶 and a New Year

Image
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
