Subject: Trust the process 🌽

Cómo han estado everybody...

Another good week overall, we're just getting back from our temple trip to San Salvador. It had been like 4 months since I'd been able to go to the temple, and it was a super awesome experience to go do endowments and go in the celestial room and refocus myself. It made me realize how much I took the temple for granted in Utah when we could go just whenever we felt like it.
Make time to go to the temple this week, I'm confident you won't regret it.

We helped a recent convert family, la familia Pacheco, with their harvest this week and these people are different goodness gracious. We started off by going into the fields and gathered up all their corn into giant sacks, and when we got the sacks as full as they could be we carried them back towards their house. 
The sacks weigh around 100-125 lbs each, we had to carry them for 15 minutes up and down the hills and through cornfields, and we carried them on our backs bent over like hunchbacks. By the last few steps I felt like my head was going to explode, that my neck was going to snap, and that I would tip over from all the weight but I made it thankfully. But my comp wasnt so fortunate and died on the trail and ended up having to get help from an old lady haha...
And the crazy thing is that these people do this same thing all day everyday... and we were dead just after a couple hours of work and I've been sore for days 🤣 

With the missionary work this week it once again had its successes and disappointments, and I've been really trying to learn to be satisfied with my efforts when I work as hard as I can but we don't get immediate results. 
Some counsel I got this week that I really liked is that our job as missionaries is to be as obedient and work as diligently as we can, and God's job is to do the rest and work the miracles. That mindset has helped me to find more joy in the work because if I'm giving my best effort I can feel at peace that the Lord will bring about the fruits in his own timing and that my offering is pleasing to the Lord.

Hope everyones doing good, keep the faith and trust the process

Nos vemos

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...
