Wednesday, October 18, 2023 - Bacon el Bautista😆

Hello Everybody!!!!

Did ya miss me?? That's right this email is coming to you today on Wednesday instead of Monday like usual! The week went by kind of slowly because of the long gap between my P-Days, but it was still pretty good!

The reason why my P-Day is today is because transfers are tomorrow! Transfers are basically where people move areas, switch companions, neither, or both! UPDATE ON WHAT HAPPENS WITH MY TRANSFERS

RAPID FIRE EVENTS😆
-had interviews with the mission president and his wife, super fun to get to talk to them and get to know them a little better
-playing ping pong at this dude's house, he beat me every time but still fun
-"Hotline Bling" by Drake, "September" by Earth Wind and Fire, "Wake Me Up, Before You Go-Go" by WHAM, and "Feels" by Pharrell Williams in stores this week🔥, also some Taylor Swift if you are really into that
-seeing this dude in a giant pile trench thing of flaming garbage raking around with 4 dogs rummaging as well
-walking in the same place as the trash trench and being close to a cow farm, which resulted in me seeing the largest pile of poop I've ever seen in my life. Video in the Google Photos🫡💩
-the beautiful weather yesterday that was so so nice, and the views as well
-the dead rat in the street🐀
-Fernando's birthday!! He is the grandson of someone we are teaching right now and we got invited to his birthday party, so it was fun to practice spanish with the kids there and see them beat up knock off pinata batman, also videos in the Google Photos!
-the weed fields we found while walking, which are absolutely HUUUGE. We looked it up later and they are not legal here so we gotta be careful not to walk back over there cause people have misinterpreted missionaries as spies before so it could be a little sketch😅

We had 2 baptisms this week! A boy in the ward named Matthew was baptized this week by his dad, super cool! His family is from Canada and they only speak English, so I love their family cause I can fully communicate with all of them!! Me and Elder Tripp were asked to sing "I am a Child of God" at his baptism, and his mom started crying which was so sweet and a cool spiritual moment.
Alejandra also was baptised this week! She saw me and Elder Tripp studying in the park a few weeks ago and was interested, but got nervous so she referred herself to the missionaries online through Facebook. 3 weeks later she is now baptized! Super cool experience as well!!
A nickname has been made for me over the past few weeks by the people in my zone, and it's pretty sick. People now call me "Bacon el Bautista" or "Bacon the Baptizer". My Zone Leaders (other missionaries who are in charge of a small group of 15 or so other missionaries in areas close to mine) made an edit of me and sent it in our zone chat, and I'm not sure if it is totally approved but they made it so I guess it's ok. Don't worry guys, it will be in Google Photos. Very special surprise to get on a Sunday night. 

That's about all for the week!! Hope everyone is doing well! Update me and send some pictures too!!

Love you all!!

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...

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
