Bautismos

We had a pretty great week this week. We worked hard and we got several new investigators that seem quite promising and the best of all we had a baptism yesterday! Our investigator that was baptized is so amazing! Her name is Paola. She and her boyfriend moved into the home of her boyfriends brother who is a member. Her boyfriend also is a member. We taught her the Plan of Salvation as the first lesson 3 weeks ago and when she found out that she could be with her family for eternity, she told us she wanted to be baptized in our church. She had to get married though since she and her boyfriend were living together. The amazing thing was, we set the baptismal date before we even knew that they weren't married, and when we found out and told her we were going to keep the planned date but that she had to get married in the time that was remaining, that very day her and her boyfriend set the day, the time, and called the judge and everything was set up and ready the next day when we returned. She got married Saturday the 14th and was baptized the very next day. She is going to be confirmed next week in Sacrament meeting.

We are waiting to hear back from President Maucotel on wether or not we can use bikes. I called him today and he said he'd have an answer for us on wednesday, but that we probably would be able to get them. That would help us out so much with the new increase in area. 

I'm super tired but I always somehow seem to have the energy I need for the day. And I'm happy being here so that's a plus. Well, I love you all and hope you have a great week!

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!
