wedding and baptism

Oct. 16th -

Pday was today because of Zone Con. yesterday. Well this last week we finally got Jaqueline married. We had so much opposition trying to get to this point and after 2 months we finally got everything figured out and on Friday we had the wedding. We were all so happy for her and you could just feel the family atmosphere and the unity. We had her baptism before the church services started on Sunday and she was confirmed during the meeting.

We had a pretty serious temperature change yesterday. When we woke up it was in the 60s and by 3:00 we were down into the mid 40s. The majority of the Latinos were shiverinf really badly while the Americans from the north were all thinking like we were back home haha. The cold came really early this year and today we are still low.

Well I hope everyone has a really great week and that everyone is survivng the start of the cold.

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!
