Subject: Andamos en Texical, Nahuizalco, El Salvador 🎢

Cómo han estado my family and friends...

I got transfer news this past Tuesday that I would be leaving Juayua after spending 4 and a half months in the area and so Tuesday and Wednesday I said my goodbyes and farewells to everybody. It was really sad cuz this is a super awesome ward with a ton of cool members and a lot of memories.
Then on Thursday I got sent to my new area Texical 1 in Nahuizalco just 20 minutes away from where I was before haha 😂 Its in the same zone just a different district, so I could end up spending almost a whole year straight just in this zone haha.

I got my new companion Elder Cortez from Guatemala, so its gonna be another transfer of straight spanish haha. He's super chill I think we're gonna do good together. The 3 comps I've had in the field have all been latinos, first a Peruvian, then a Dominican, and now a Guatemalan. I think I'm forgetting how to speak english but at least my spanishs good haha. 

The first few days here in Texical 1 have been super cool, saturday we had a combined soccer tournament with the ward and branch.  And in case you guys were wanting to know, I did in fact score the winning goal to send us to the semifinals so that was pretty lit...
We also had a few lessons with our friend Hector and set a baptismal date with him for the 14th of this month. He's only like 9 years old but super smart and super ready to get baptized. A bunch of other stuff happened this week but i dont feel like writing more so im gonna leave it here haha

A pretty boring email this week but hope everythings going great for all you guys

Colby's new companion, Elder Cortez, playing the ukulele for us 🎸🎶😃. 

We just got off our Monday video call with Colby 🥰❤️✨. We loved getting to meet his new companion, Elder Cortez, from Guatemala. He was really nice and fun to visit with. His English is a lot better than Colby's other companions. His dad and older brother served their missions in El Salvador too and he has a cousin serving his mission in Layton 😃. He only has about 5 weeks left on his mission and he sounds like he wants to go out strong, teaching everyday.

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...
