Nuevo Compañero

Hola mi familia y todos mis amigos! This last week we had changes. It was a little tough to say goodbye to Elder Peña but it was time for a change. I'm still here in Sabinas with my new companion Elder Quilter. He has 11 months in the mission and is super cool. He is from Park City Utah and before the mission he worked as a river guide on the Colorado river. It has been interesting leading now. Showing around the area and everything. He's had some pretty fun ideas too. We went to one of the plazas near our house at around 8 at night. Elder Quilter can play the Harmonica and the piano. So in the plaza Elder Quilter played the harmonica and I sang hymns. It was super cool. We met a few cool people that way. We are also gonna start doing English and piano classes every Saturday in the Chapel now. It is fun to start trying different things. It has been killer heat down here but the canicula should be ending in a few weeks.

Today we went to the Turbina and saw this live Mexican band playing in a little pavilion. They were super cool. We have this guy named Jesus that said he would like to be baptized but before we pick a date he wants to read the Book of Mormon a little more. We also found this really cool young lady named Edith who can hear but she can't speak. Her Mom said that she wanted to come to our church and we showed her the video of the restoration and she loved it. So we have high hopes for those two.

I love you guys! Talk to you next week!

they just loved the music.

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........ Elder Pena from the Dominican Republic Trainers and Trainees posing with the Pres.

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!
