Baptisms of Dayana and Alejandra

Subject: The pupusas never get old 

Cómo han estado todos?? 

Another great week in Juayua, El Salvador. Yesterday we had the baptisms of Dayana and Alejandra, the 2 daughters from la Familia Beltran. It was super awesome to finally see them get baptized because we've been working so hard with them for about 2 months and there have been so many times that Satan almost stopped them from getting baptized, but yesterday we finally saw them enter the waters. Now the goal is to get all of them in the temple and help them have an eternal family, but its definitely going to be a challenge and take a lot of effort.


Also, we set a baptismal date this past week with our friend Jaime. He's the guy that showed up to the church last sunday and we'd never seen him before, and then this sunday he came to church again, and if all goes well he's getting baptized this next sunday October 5th. He knows a little english so hes been practicing with me a little bit and this guys so funny haha. Hes about 75 years old and kinda crazy but also super faithful so its all good haha.

We also had our friends Josue and Matias come with us to church this week, its a father and his son, and we just started teaching them this past saturday and they're super faithful. We're planning on setting them on date for baptism this week, and they already have desires to join the church so we think they'll get baptized October 12th. The work is starting to gain some momentum in our area and its super cool to see, especially because our zone has been suffering a lot but we're still pushing through in our area. And the fact is that all of the success we've had the last few weeks have come completely because of the grace of God and not because of our own abilities, and really all we can do is give the people the best opportunity possible to hear the message and feel the Spirit.

We still dont have water here in the house and the truth is that it really sucks and is getting pretty annoying haha. In the past 3 weeks we've had like 5 days with running water, but I cant complain because the missionary work has been going good so I'll take the trade. 

Hope everyones doing good, let me know how youre doing and I'll respond

Colby's First Missionary Email 🇲🇽🤗

Tuesday July 1, 2025  11:33am Subject: Locked In ¿Qué pasa con todos??? I'm not sure how good of an email writer I am, but I'll try my best to send weekly ones because my mom wants me to.  I'm 5 days into the Mexico mtc and it's crazy how much can happen in less than a week when you just forget about everything else and put all your effort into one thing. The food's been hit or miss, but everything else has been on point. I have some sweet roommates and the number of times we've just been dying laughing is crazy for only knowing each other a week. Our district is the chillest and I have a sick companion Elder Carman. Singing the hymns in Spanish has been so cool and this language is so fun to learn. During home mtc, it got to a point I was so bored of the zoom calls and sitting in the same room 8 hours a day that I was watching anything in my free time that wouldn't get me in trouble. Stuff like Best Two Years, the RM, Other Side of Heaven, anything to give ...

A Lot of Rain ☂️

Monday, September 1, 2025 Subject: A Lot of Rain ☂️  Wassup everybody, It was a solid week, went by super fast but also super slow haha. We had a ton of rain this week, and when it rains in El Salvador it RAINS. The streets straight up turn into rivers and everyone goes into their houses because it's pretty dangerous. I think it was like Wednesday or Thursday, but we were way up in the mountains around San Juan, it was like 6:30 and already getting dark, and the rain was coming down super hard. We were waiting on the side of the road until a pickup came, and we got into the back of it and started driving down the mountain and going into the rain at like 40 mph.  It was like a 15 minute ride of just getting absolutely pelted by the rain, it was so bad haha. I had a little umbrella that I was holding like a shield in the back of the pickup but it didn't help at all, it was getting bent in from the wind and rain and we got completely soaked. My comp had a jacket but it didn't ...

Week 2 in Mexico, 3 Weeks Overall

Tuesday July 8, 2025 6:04 p m Subject:  Week 2 in Mexico, 3 Weeks Overall ¿Qué onda?? Yesterday was  my 3 week mark for being on the mission, and I've been in the mexico ccm for almost 2 weeks. Time's flying and the days are starting to blend together so I think I need to start writing the cool stuff down so I have stuff to put in my emails haha. We were hooping for like 4 hours today so that was sweet to play some ball again. We play basically every sport ever here, a lot of pickleball, volleyball, handball, basketball of course. One of the dudes in my district is a D1 quarterback so we've been throwing around the football and it's crazy how effortlessly he throws like 60 yard bombs and zips it right to my hands (he got his ball taken away today tho so we won't be playing anymore of that haha). Besides the sports, it's been pretty repetitive, 3 hour language class in the morning, 3 hour preach my gospel class with some Spanish in the afternoon, some devotionals...
