Monday, October 23, 2023 - Cow Prayer🐄🫡

HELLO EVERYONE

That's right, I'm back again. Back to the regular Monday emails.

I really love toast. I bought 2 loaves of bread and a stick of butter this week and man oh man I LOVE IT. I LOVE TOAST. It shouldn't be that good and honestly it isn't even that good. If you can't tell there isn't much to write about in this email🥸

With transfers this week, my district and area changed a little bit. Now, there are 3 areas in Versailles, which means 2 new missionaries in my ward! 1 of them is Elder Sanderson who started the mission the same day as me and was in my Mexico Training Center house, so that has been really fun! We are all a district, and yesterday we had lunch at a members house, all 6 of us, so it was basically a district activity. It was pretty fun to walk back and take the bus home together too. It must have been a pretty funny sight for people driving by to see 6 missionaries running across the highway. The only thing is that the other 2 sets of Elders live in the same house together, so it is just me and Elder Tripp separated from the rest of the gang. Rip.😔

We were at an inactive member's house this week for a visit, and I found out that their dog's name is "Palito", which means little stick. Basically they named him that because he was so skinny when they found him that they just thought it would be fitting to name him after a twig forever😃 Anyways, at the end of the lesson we were ending with a prayer, per usual, and as I am saying the prayer I can hear that someone is walking by outside the house where we were. I turned around and gave a lil peek and saw probably 7 cows walking by down the street. Just thought that was kinda cute. I don't even know anymore, wish I would have snagged a pic of that beauty. 

Hope everyone had a good week this week, I just want to share a little bit about prayer. Prayer is super cool guys. It helps with struggles soooooo much. I have been struggling with my attitude about the mission lately, and have been focusing on all the bad things. But, as this week (after some advice from my mom, shoutout Sandra the goat) I have been praying for an attitude change, it has helped me a ton! I kind of fake it til I make it in the mornings, and usually wake up and think of all the things I am grateful for and will sometimes just smile and stare at myself in the mirror like this😀 just to try and get my mood up, and it kind of works even though I don't like it and it feels super cheesy. But moral of the story is, prayer is kind of magical and has helped me so much on my mission so far.

Love you all so so much, thanks for everyone who sent me an email this past week, you know I'm greedy for them😆

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...

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
