Qué lo que

Another week in el barrio Progreso in Juayua, El Salvador.

We've gone 2 weeks straight with water in the house, truly a miracle... and I'm already taking water for granted again haha.

Holy man nobody is married in this country and everybody drinks coffee

Week 2 with the Elder Ortiz and he's getting used to the area and things are going pretty good with the missionary work. We set 2 baptismal dates and a wedding date this week with la Familia Cosme. 
Graduated high school like 5 months ago and I'm already marrying people 👨‍⚖️ Its crazy all the responsibilities they give you on the mission haha

Still been going up to the mountains in San Juan De Dios like 5 times a week in pickup or bus or mototaxi. All our investigators literally live in the middle of nowhere in the jungle which takes up a ton of time just to find them and get to their houses, so we're considering on focusing our efforts just on the people who live in the city to avoid wasting time on travel. 

I still think the mountains have a lot of potential but its really hard because every time we find a family to teach in the mountains, the pastors and the leaders of the other churches start flocking. A family will be progressing a bunch and then out of nowhere they'll lose all interest with us because a pastor passed by their house and started feeding them lies about us and the church.

Week went by super fast dont remember a ton but I hear all is well with BYU football and that the Jazz already won back to back championships so thats good to hear

Va pue everybody, let me know how youre doing

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...
