El Milagro de La Familia Beltran

Subject: El Milagro de La Familia Beltran

Cómo estamos everybody,

If I did my math right tomorrow is my 100th day on the mission, and holy its flown by. Its been nothing like I couldve imagined, but its been absolutely awesome.

The first few days of the week were pretty average nothing special. The finding was getting harder and our references were running dry. I think we've gone 7 of the past 10 days without water in the house, but today we got it back, and it felt like Christmas man. I will never take running water for granted ever again, I've learned my lesson haha.

But these past 2 or 3 days have been awesome. Saturday night we had another lesson with la Familia Beltran, and holy it was powerful. The dad is a member but has been inactive for ten years, and then theres the mom and the 2 daughters who arent members. We were gonna baptize the 2 daughters this past sunday, but we changed it to this next sunday cuz we want them to feel more prepared. 
When we started teaching this family about a month and a half ago, the mom literally wanted nothing to do with us and wouldnt even interact with us or listen to the listens. But this past Saturday night, she was testifying to her 2 daughters of our church with conviction and with Spirit. She made the definitive decision that she and her husband would stop working on sundays altogether and would attend church every sunday from now on. They set a goal to get married around the end of october so that the mom can get baptized and the dad can once again be worthy to participate in the priesthood and re-enter the temple. I was literally blown away during this lesson, and the changes I've seen in this family in just the past month are nothing short of a miracle. They've gone to church as a family the past 2 sundays, and its so good to see them there. Man I love this family.


Another miracle this past week happened Sunday with our newfound friend Jaime. We'd never seen this hermano before, but we were just standing outside the church Sunday morning, and this guy walks up to us and into the church and stays for the whole sacrament meeting... super crazy. He's around 75 years old and says he's looking for truth. He knows a little english and wanted to practice with me, and while I was talking with him he says to me in his broken english, "We are going to be friends, I know it." 
Super crazy miracle and I hope Jaime can keep progressing with us.

God sees our efforts and wants to bless us and will bless us. I gave another talk this past Sunday, and the bishop only had me and him as the 2 speakers, so I had to take up 15 minutes and somehow I was able to do it haha. The Lord is blessing me and I'm trying my best to be a worthy tool in his hands.

Hope everyones doing great, miss you all

Va pue!!

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...
