Navidad en Nahuizalco

Subject: Navidad en Nahuizalco


Buenossss dias everybody

Theres only like 3 days till christmas supposedly but theres no snow on the ground and its still like 80 degrees, it feels super weird haha.

My comp Elder Cortez is heading home in less than 2 weeks and I've only been with him for 2 weeks, so thats gonna be sad. I feel like I know the area pretty good now and we're building momentum each week that passes, so I'm excited to get to work this week. We've talked with a bunch of people the last little bit, so I feel like we've set this week up good to start seeing some more fruits hopefully. 

Wednesday this week an hermana in the branch needed some help with yardwork, and we thought it would just be like helping a little with gardening or something but when we showed up to her house there was just a huge pile of like 50 massive rocks, and at that point we were starting to have second thoughts about this "small" service project. But we did it cuz shes a nice hermana and she feeds us a lot. She had us haul the rocks back and forth from the main road to her house that was about 100 feet away, cuz they're working on building a new wall right now. We were hauling the rocks and our backs for like an hour and a half non-stop and we were dead by the end, but it felt good to help her out.

We had a bunch of great lessons this week, I can feel myself progressing a little more each day, and I think we're starting to get rolling. I cant really think of much else that happened this week, but hope everythings going great for all of you

Adiosss

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...
