Elder Dallin Hoyt

Hola como están? This last week went by really well. We had a lot of divisions with the Elders in the zone. On Thursday we had our zone conference with the Anahuac zone and the day before we had done interchanges with the Elders in Sabinas Hidalgo so my companion had gone an hour and a half up to Sabinas and I stayed in our area. Their bus back, the day of the zone conference, got really delayed because of a bad crash and they didn't show up until 3 hours later. I had to represent the San Nicolas zone and train everyone by myself, but it went well. We talked a lot about our purpose as missionaries and how we can better teach with authority and with the Spirit and that we shouldn't fear.  Friday I got my stiches out of my toes and I'll be in sandals for one more week and then be able to put on shoes probably. I can finally get out and work now. The good thing is that it hasn't gotten cold because riding a bike in Janruary with sandals normally wouldn't be a good ...

Hola familia y amigos en casa! This week was about the same as last week. Still had to be not moving all week because of stitches in my toes. So I'll actually be getting them out this Friday. The good thing about this last week was that we actually had the chance to do a lot of divisions with the Elders in the zone and get work done in our area. I had the opportunity to talk with a lot of the Elders about how they are doing, about their areas, and help with any questions and give suggestions on how they become better missionaries. It was a great way to personally minister  to a lot of the Elders in the zone.  I'm able to walk an hour a day right now which isn't very much but I'm getting better. I love all you guys! Hope you have an amazing week! Elder Hoyt

Jan. 7 well this last week was pretty eventful. Wednesday I had to go to the hospital to get both of my toes taken care of because I had ingrown toenails on both feet. Since it was both feet I've been unable to do anything for almost the whole week. Today I am going back to get the stitches out so I can get back to working. It isn't even cold down here. Well hope everyone has a really good week.  Elder Hoyt

Opening presents Christmas Day Hola familia y amigos en casa! What an awesome coulpe of weeks we've had here in San Nicolas. The best experience was the baptism we had on the 29th and the events that lead to it. The person that was baptized is named Martha. She is 19 years old and has a little 1 year old girl named Kenya. The week before last she got married to her boyfriend that was living with her, Kevin, who is already a member of the church. Their family had just moved here from a different state because of rediculous problems that were happening and they had to leave their house and most of their posessions and basically start over. Martha was listening to the missionaries before after her family got baptized but did'nt show much interest in the church and she wasn't to excited about marrying Kevin. After having to drop eveything and move to a new state and start over she told us that she was humbled and knew that now was the time to change. The missionaries before...

hey mom just so you know me and Elder Joachin are going to stay together for at least another change. I'll be here in San Nicolas until February 5th at least. As for the video call next week, I'll be planning to do the call at around 12 mid day on Christmas. Utah time. If anything changes I'll let you know on Thursday Thursday -  So our time changed for the call. Instead of at 12, we'll be calling at around 6 in the afternoon.    Elder Vega and Elder Covington return to the mission puppy Elder Vega Returns

Hola a todos en casa! This last week was a pretty good one. Definitely can't complain. We  haven't been cold which is a good thing. We had 3 baptisms in the zone this last week and we are seeing a lot of progress as a mission as well. Don't have a lot of new things to write about this week and we are writing a little late so I don't have much time. This is our last week of this change and we are really starting ti feel the Christmas spirit down here in Monterrey. We found a little christmas tree in our house and some lights so we feel pretty good about that.  We are really close to getting a couple married so our investigator, Martha, can get baptized. We are keeping our spirits up and working hard.  Love you all! Have an amazing week! Got my package There are 2 sisters, 1 from the dominican republic and 1 from brazil that won't get christmas packages this year. Even if a package gets there late, they would really appreciate something. Their names are...
