Nacho....the Luchador

Hola! ¿Que tal? So this week was the week of the Mexican día de independencia. The 15th was the Noche de Grito where they celebrate their independence day a day early with a parade, fireworks, and the "Viva México" shout. That was pretty crazy  fun. The branch had their own party after the parade and we had several investigators come so that turned out nice. 

  We met this guy who is the largest collector of luchador masks in Mexico. He has over 1000 masks. He also did luchador fights as well and has his own gear. He has several masks that have been in museums, movies and all have been worn and used by real fighters. He has two of the most famous luchadores masks that they used in Mexico. Their names are Tinieblas and Mil Mascaras. Those are his most valuable and he let us put them on!! But that isn't the coolest thing he has. He has the very masks that were used by Nacho Libre and Ramses in the Nacho Libre movie!!!! Signed by Jack Black and everything!!! He also has pictures with Ramses. The actor who is actually a real luchador in Mexico. But the even cooler thing is that since  I said I was such a huge fan of Nacho Libre and I loved his masks so much he said he would sell me the Nacho Libre mask for 150 bucks if I wanted it!! Heck yeah I want it!!!!!! 

I'm getting changed to a new area. I have mixed emotions. I am excited to be getting out of Sabinas Hidalgo and getting to know a new area and new people, but I am also sad to be leaving the people I met here and I only got 1 change with Elder Quilter. He was a pretty great companion! My new companion will be Elder Vega. I already know him. He was in this zone during my first change and I got to know him a bit. He is super cool so I'm excited to be his new companion. I couldn't really understand the name of the area on the phone but the zone is Mitras. We are leaving today at 4 and staying at the mission home tonight with all the news that came in. So I'll get to see my buddy Elder Hndricks who just came in today. We were track buddies in high school and afterwards still remained friends so that will be awesome to see him! 

Well that's all the new stuff going on. Love you guys!! Talk to ya next week from a new area.

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...
