2 Investigators

Hey Guys! How you doin? Thank you for the email and the pic of the girls. They sound really fun right now. The Spanish is coming a long I guess I am learning more patiences and enduring to the end. We will see what happens.

Weekly Update: We have 2 investigators Amanda and Jessica. Amanda is progressing well and we have taught just about all the lessons. She loves the church and is doing well. Right now, she is living with her aunt and well she could be baptised today if we have her moms permission. We have been struggling with communicating with her mom. Jessica we have only taught once but she has been taught before. She is doing alright.

This week is my comp's last week. Elder Hernandez will finish his mission this Sunday and head back home to his home to Tampico. Yes, he is a good Elder but yeah, he is dead and ready to head home.

Well, we have the influence of the spirit in our lives and the priesthood which is of God. We can receive revelation from him and also can communicate with him through prayer. My question for you guys is "Are all your thoughts from you or are they from a higher power ?". When I was in the MTC Pres. Harris asked this to me. I love you guys thanks for the emails and all the support and extra prayers. Peace Out!

A great conversation with Jordan!

Well. New years was good. They had an activity in the church of new years. Bunch of food and music. We stoped by and grabbed some food then we went to our house. We were supposed to eat with a family that night but they werent home. Then we heard a knock at our door about 1 in the morning. They wanted us to come eat. Um no we went back to bed. They broke pinatas for the new year.

Good. Well we have 1 investigator. Amanda. We have been teaching her. She is living with her aunt. Which happens to be in our ward. Amanda has a testimony and could be baptised anytime. We just need permission from her parents. Well she has been having some family problems with her mom. Her
mom isn't very nice. Long story. We also taught a family yesterday. They just had miscarriage and problems before. We taught the plan of salvation They said they would come to church also.

Yes! I loved it all. And you can hear Parker, he sounds like a fun little baby. I loved the PJ shirt with the girls. It was awesome.

Sorry to change the subject. But we had interviews with the Pres. Rex and he told my comp. to work hard with me on the Spanish because he is going to need some help in the near future. Whatever that means. I'm kind of scared ha ha. I'm tired of this Spanish.

I got to play a little dunk ball!

Hey guys! The Christmas call was awesome! You guys sound great. I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas. Amber, if I could I would have talk to you guys the whole time but well when I get back we will have all day. Love you Amber.

Weekly update: Elder Hernandez and me have been doing a lot of door knocking and looking for references. Sister Star or Hermana Estrella, accompanied us to one of our lessons and showed us more of our area. The people in our ward are really nice and willing to help, which is awesome! Also, Atlixco is know for having the worlds best weather. Perfect for growing all kinds of plants and all kinds of flowers, you girls would really like it here.

We just finished playing soccer. I scored 4 goals! We also played a little dunk ball on the 9ft hoops. Its was way fun. Well, I hope everyone is doing well. I love you guys and it was great to talk to you all. Good times! Thank you for the quotes Amber. Brandon love you man thanks for all the support. Peace!

Amber & Brandon,

Feliz Navidad and Merry Christmas! Hey! How is everyone doing? Thank you for the family pics, you guys look awesome! YES! Its Christmas en Mexico!

Weekly update: Well it was my first week here in Atlixco, Cabrera and Tulipanes with Elder Hernandez. Opening up two new area's isn't the easiest job but we are doing it. We haven't had much success yet but through our faith we may work mighty miracles. Elder Hernandez is determined to get 10 baps being his last change. We will see what the Lord has in store for us and the people of this area.

Christmas Phone Call! The number which you will be calling this Saturday is 01-152-244-446-3792. I will call in the evening around 7:00 (my time) and tell you to call this number back. I cant wait to call and talk to you guys and hear y'all. I'm hoping everyone will be there. Merry Christmas!

ONE YEAR BABY

ONE YEAR BABY!

Hey! What up! Its great to hear from you guys! This week, as you know, I will pass my one year mark on the 16th. I'm stoked! Traditionally, missionaries burn a shirt. I will be doing the same.

Weekly update: This last week me and my comp. Elder Stone baptised Augustin this last Saturday. His brother that was just recently baptised and received the Aaronic Priesthood was able to baptise his brother Augustin. Augustin is around 35 and most of his family came to support him. It was a great experience to be part of. Especially because his brother was able to baptise him. Awesome!

Also, we had transfers today. I had changes and am now in Atlixco with Elder Hernandez as my new companion. I am right by a volcano. Its pretty rad! We will be opening a new area. Just a little pueblo. We also have a sick house! 2 stories. I'm ready for this new area.

Thank you for all that you guys have done for me and for your support. I haven't received the box yet! I'm sure I will get it pretty soon though. I cant wait. I love you guys. Merry Christmas!

Love,

Elder Bailey

Hey Hey Hey!

Yo what up! How have you guys been? I liked our little chat the other day, pictures and all. Its good to hear from y'all.

Weekly update: The Sunday before last we held the baptism of Ramon and Marisela. The day before the baptism they were able to get married. It will be a very memorable weekend for them. They waited for two years for divorce to go through. I'm sure they learned the principle of patience. But it was well worth the wait. Married and baptised on the same weekend. Awesome! The baptism went great. Everything went as planned and after we went out to dinner with them. I am very happy for them and to have been apart of their baptism. Me and my comp. will still visit them. Good missionaries always pass the lessons and principles with new converts.

This coming Sunday will be the baptisms of Enriqueta and another for Auguestin. No relation, just two separate baptisms. For the most part that is all for our investigators. Also, changes are coming up here on the 12th. I might stay or go. Who knows. It is really just up in the air.

Thank you for all you guys do for me. I cant wait to get Da Box! I'm stoked! I want you guys to know that I love you and am very blessed to have you guys in my life. Happy Holidays! Thank you once again. Love you!

Baptism this Sunday

Happy Thanksgiving! Dia de Gracias. How is everyone doing? How is Provo treating you? The weather here is great. Usually in the 70s or 80s. Its great to hear from you guys again.

Weekly update: Ramon and Marisela are all ready for their baptism this Sunday. Yesterday, We planned their day. We will be having their baptismal service after church at five. Prayers, hymns, and thoughts are all ready. Two years of waiting and all ready to go. Our other investigators and progressing well. Updates on them will be next week.

Contacting and knocking doors. This past week we were knocking doors and just looking for new people to teach. When we contacted a tienda or little store. We ran into Aguistin. He is Catholic but not active. His brother is a member of our church and he has been attending with him. Taught him the first lesson and loves it. Gave him a B of M and wants us to come back. It was cool!

This Thursday we have Zone Conference. We will be having a Thanksgiving celebration at Zone Conference. Mexico pretty much celebrates ever thing. Thanksgiving aka Dia de Gracias. What I have heard is that we will be watching some kind of movie at Zone Conference. I'm stoked!

Amber and Brandon. Being Thanksgiving I want you guys to know how grateful I am for both of you. You have set such a great example for me and have helped in so many ways. I love you guys and your family. Remember to count your blessings. I love you!
