My Ways Higher Than Your Ways

Subject: My ways higher than your ways

What's up everybody como estamos

The weeks just keep stacking up it's crazy how fast time flies, and it really makes me want to take advantage of each and every day here in El Salvador, because the next time I blink I'll be giving my homecoming talk in Layton Utah haha.

We had a really cool experience this week that I consider a miracle personally. Around 2 weeks ago we had decided to stop teaching this hermana named Sonia, which was a hard decision because she was so friendly and welcoming but was obviously not progressing and wasn't keeping any of the commitments that we invited. But this week while we're on our way to an appointment, my companion had the thought to pass by hermana Sonia's house even though we had stopped teaching her 2 weeks earlier. 
We knocked at the door and a boy thats about 13 years old opens it. We had just barely started talking with him and he tells us he wants to show us something. He steps away from the door and comes back with a Book of Mormon in his hand. He tells us he found this book and he's reading in Alma right now and wants to know more 🤯 
Right when he showed us the book I had a flashback to about 2 weeks earlier, the day we decided to stop teaching hermana Sonia (his grandma), and as we were leaving her house I had the impression to leave her with a Book of Mormon, so I did and I gave her my testimony of the book and we left. It was kind of a strange impression because the hermana couldn't even read and obviously didn't have desires to read it. But because I followed the prompting, her grandson Angel was able to find the book and start reading it. We've only known him for a few days now and we'll see how he progresses, but this was a huge testimony to me of the hand of the Lord in this work.

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."
-Isaiah 55:8-9

This week had a lot of ups and downs in the missionary work, but I know without a doubt that this work is God's work.

Nos vemos
-Elder Trujillo

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...
