Una semana de agua!

Hola todos! As the title suggests, we got a lot of water this week. Starting with the rain, we haven't seen the sun for a while now, which I'm fine with, because here, sun means heat. Even with it cloudy we get heat spells every now and then. Monterrey is not prepared very well for rain. If it rains for 15 minutes all the streets get flooded. The rain doesn't last long usually, but when it rains it rains hard and everything floods so we got hit pretty hard a few days. 

We also got a lot of water in the sense of baptisms this week as a zone. Me and my companion baptized a 12 year old young woman named Yulisa on Saturday. The rest of the zone had 6 other baptisms apart. We are super happy and excited because our goal for the month of September is 18 baptisms and right now we are sitting at 14 and we have like 8 more people that can be baptized this month!!!!!!!! That's a lot of baptismal fonts full of water!

Well, another phase of the mission is past and we are entering the last leg of the race. On Thursday of this week, I will have just 6 months left in my mission. WHAT?!? It is rediculous how fast the time is flying. I'm giving it my best effort and can always improve on something so I'm looking to make these last 6 months the best that I can. I love you all! Hope you have a very awesome 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!
