Tuesday, July 8, 2025 - Thank You El Salvador 🇸🇻

Well everyone, this is it. My last email as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

It's honestly a crazy feeling, just knowing that it's all coming to an end. I have been doing this for the past 2 years and it feels crazy that tomorrow I'll be getting on a plane and going home

This week was a good one, we had a meeting in San Salvador and so I was able to see a lot of friends and say goodbye. We also had our last Zone Council and we gave out our zone shirts, it was pretty fun. We also said goodbye to a lot of the members here, it was really good

I just want to testify that I know that this church is true. I have learned that on my mission. I believed it before, but now I know it. My mission has been the hardest thing I've ever done in my life, it has tested me emotionally and physically in so many ways, but I am so greatful for the many blessings and changes I have seen in others and in myself because of my mission. My mission was 100% not a waste of time, it was the best and most important experience of my entire life. I will forever be greatful for my time here in El Salvador, it will always hold a very special place in my heart. I'm so thankful that my Heavenly Father allowed me to have this beautiful and impactful experience

Thanks to all of you who have read my emails and been on this journey with me. I will be giving my homecoming talk this Sunday, so if you want to come and hear me, you can ask me for more info!

For my friends still in the mission my personal email is zjbacon04@gmail.com, keep me updated on your missions!

Thank you all so much, and I will see you very soon, love you guys a ton

With lots of love, for the last time,
Elder Bacon❤️🇸🇻

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
