Week One and Done1

Hola everyone! 
       I'm alive and well. The plane ride to Mexico was pretty good, there were 9 other missionaries on the plane. Elder Powers and Elder Johansen are going to the same mission as me. My companion is Elder Ballard, he's awesome! I'll be sure to send you pictures of a ton of stuff. 
      The spirit in the MTC is extremely strong, the devotionals and lessons have been amazing. We have taught several investigator lessons to Mariana who is actually a teacher in the MTC but our last lesson went extremely well and the spirit definitely guided the lesson. 
    The Mexico city Temple is huge! It's designed like an old aztec temple. There are three sets of escalators to get to all 3 floors. It's such a beautiful place. We got to go do an endowment session today as a district and zone. Yesterday I was made a zone leader with my companion, we actually start those responsibilities next week when the district with the current zone leaders leave for their missions. I'll send some pictures of the temple when I have time. Our P day was cut short because of the temple trip. 
     I love you all! Stay good and stay strong.
      Love Elder Hoyt

Jan 7 - Bad Toes

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

Training

Hey everyone so I just finished my first week as a trainer. My new companion is Elder Peña from the Dominican Republic. He is 25 years old and is a convert of 2 and a half years. I almost feel like I am the one being trained here haha. He has so much gospel knowledge and has absolutely no problem with wanting to talk to people. He is also exactly obedient along with me. We have a baptism for the 31st coming up and we are finding more people to teach. I have a good feeling about the success we are going to have this change.  I am also excited for my Christmas call coming up on Monday next week!! I get to see my family! Tomorrow is our mission talent show/ christmas dinner and I'll be singing let it go haha.  I love you all! Talk to you next week New Trainers And your new trainee is........

1 year mark!!!

Hey everyone! So this last week I hit my 1 year mark on the 4th! It is so weird. I don't feel like I have been out here for a year already. I have learned so much and for this last half I am going to apply what I have learned to bring out my full missionary potential!  This week we are going to be having a baptism on Saturday. And then we are going to be having changes next Tuesday so we'll see what happens there as well. I have been here in Allende for a while so there is a chance that I get changed. We are all pretty sure that Elder Hendricks is gonna be going too.  We had a cool opportunity to do some service on Saturday. We helped a guy cut some weeds and clean up his yard too. His neighbor thought we were crazy for coming here to Mexico for two years to help people, but was impressed as well.  Anyway, Love you all! Have a great week! Elder Hoyt (Elder Hoyt says that time is going by so fast and that he can't believe that it has been a year alrea...
