Subject: Super Crazy News 🤯

I didn't feel like mentioning this but I feel like its necessary. Last monday during my call with my family I received some news that I was not expecting. I really didnt think this day would ever come but theres some things that are just outside of your control and you just have to accept it. But anyways I'm just gonna say it... Bam Adebayo scored 83 points in an NBA game. How in the world did Bam Adebayo drop 83. I swear his career high was like 37 before that game 😂 theres no shot he dropped 83 I still refuse to believe it 


But as far as the missionary work in El Salvador goes this week was super awesome. We saw a bunch of miracles this week, we started off the week just planning on having our friend Karens baptism but then after several miracles her sister Maryorie is gonna get baptized too! Karen was gonna get baptized this past Sunday but we decided to move it so that her mom could be able to show up to her baptism and now her sister Maryorie also wants to get baptized so this next Sundays gonna be super awesome. We had several friends come with us to church this week and it was another awesome Sabbath day. Karen and Maryorie are super escogidas, both super excited to get baptized and have been coming to church on a bus ride straight after working a shift at 3 in the morning. Its like a breath of fresh air to get to teach people that are so willing to come and make sacrifices to get closer to God.

A super powerful spiritual experience that we had this week was with an hermana thats just starting to come back to church after like 20 years of being inactive. We were just walking by her house on the way to a different appointment and we had the impression to stop by and see how she was doing. We knocked and she opened the door and about 30 seconds later she was in tears telling us about the very hard situation that shes been living with, and how she was thinking about running away because she felt like she couldnt do it anymore. We had a short visit with her and before leaving we asked if she wanted a blessing. We gave her the blessing and while I was giving it I could feel the love that God has for her, and it filled my soul it was such a beautiful feeling. I could feel the Spirit speaking to me during the blessing and it was an experience I'll always remember. I had been doubting my ability to give meaningful blessings in Spanish because I felt like it was hard for me to follow the Spirit while giving priesthood blessings in a different language, but this time I knew exactly what to say and it was a huge testimony builder for me. Our purpose in going was to comfort this hermana in her time of trouble, and we left her house strengthened and comforted. When we strive to bless others we are also blessed.

Overall it was a super great week with a bunch of miracles and filled with the Spirit. Let me know how youre all doing and have a great week!!

P.s. I made a march madness bracket that I'm gonna put in my Google fotos if anyone wants to see how bad I do this year 😂 I'm pretty sure my brackets already super busted but keep me updated on what happens and all the upsets

This is the lady Colby gave a blessing to this week. This was a picture from from when they first met her.

Guy who insisted on buying Colby and Elder Villimar pupusas. Colby said he was drunk and they didn't want him to buy them pupusas when he was drunk but he insisted. He came to church with a member friend of his this week 😃.

Missionary committee meetings I think.

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...
