Elder Loosle's Mission blog

  Dont worry all, I didnt forget to email. Our mission got visted by someone from the missionary department and he wanted to talk to us because our mission has been doing so good all the sudden they wanted to see what it was. So my zones Pday got switched. Alright lets get it Highlights: -Ive been yelled at by so many short drunk mexican guys, for some reason it happened a lot more this week. Kinda funny but they need to learn more about Jesus. -I gave a blessing but in english? It was some inactive members, they saw us walking and had us stop. We shared a message and then they asked for a blessing. My comp gave one and then he asked me if I wanted to give the other, i told him in english I dont know if I could in spanish. Well the lady understands english and told us I could do it in english. Wild, they later sent a video of them dumping alcohol down the toilet.  -got Interrogated by someone from the missionary department, he kept asking what happened on the 22nd of March to ...

  I dont know how to start so we just gonna get into it. No se vamos  Them highlights: -Fernanda got baptized!!! Finally, we have gone back and forth with her mom to get the firma and we got it. We baptized her Wednesday it was so cool to see her testimony grow all the way up to her being baptized. - Ive been told I look like a 14 year old way too much.... not a highlight but its happened more than 3 times this week. -We did divies this week, I led my area with elder Linford. Hes as old as my dad, we cooked. First time being away from my dad. -We found an escogido, his name is josue and hes pretty cool. He likes the church and wants to be baptized. Only issue.... hes 15. Hopefully we dont fight with his parents to get the firma. - We found a guy named Eros, hes mad chill. He has been to the church the last 2 weeks. He isnt sure if he wants to be baptized, he wants to talk to his parents about it. Luckily we are teaching his mom and if our plan works out, eros will baptize his ...

  And thats another solid week down here in Mexico, it doesnt stop getting hotter.  It was a pretty interesting week so lets get to the good stuff. Highlights:  -We had zone conference, it was chill. I was able to understand a good chunk of it. That was pretty dope. -A lot of the times when we are looking for people and doing public contacts or just talking to people in the streets, instead of making it weird by just starting talking. I like to ask them if they know José, we are looking for José. Sometimes it works, other times you get sent to a house of jehovah witnesses -Met some pretty dope jehovah witnesses, usually they don't like us missionaries. They invited us in and we talked, gave us an invite to their church. The next day we were walking close to their house and he came running with pan and gave us some fire pan. Chill guys, they wont listen to... We tried... -We were knocking some apartments and i looked out and a huge field was on fire, it looked like it was ...

  Another week down in mexico, lets dive right in🥱 Its getting real hot here in Villa, I'm not ready for when it gets hotter. The highlights: -We got the firma to baptized Anel! Threw her in the water immediately. The story with Anel is unique, it was like my second day on the mission and we were looking for members. I knocked the wrong door and it happened to be Anel, we taught her for a minute. The next day she said she doesn't want anything to do with us. A week later she texted us and said she wants God in her life. Crazy miracle. -We got the firma for Fernanda. After weeks of everything, we not only got the firma. Her mom came to church! She still is super catholic but that's okay we will play the long game with her. Still crazy that she likes us as much as she does now. -Saturday we had to clean the pila for the baptism. There was one issue, the button to drain the pila was broke.... we had no way of draining the pila and they left the water in it from the last bapti...

  This transfer was crazy, we did it all literally exploring the jungle all the way to being cornered in an alley by a dog. Its been so amazing serving God in Mexico.  Just found out my dad is DL as well as finishing my training 🙏🙏 thats pretty hype. Alright lets get into it, here are the highlights of this week: -Divies with the ZL, its been weird both of the divies I have done have been in my area with my companion and then another missionary joining us. Its been great. A long with that, we had a sleepover at the ZLs house. That was pretty fun, they live in a house with 4 other missionaries right now.we had boneless, its basically a better Bdubs. Slept in a hammock, that wss pretty lit. They also had a bench so I was able to workout in a normal way. (I miss the gym so much)  -Fernanda is getting baptized!!!! If you don't know who Fernanda is. Well we put a fecha with her the first day I was here, since then we have been fighting (not really but kinda) with her mom to ...

  Whats popping everyone? Not the cartel thats for sure! But in all seriousness yes the leader/drug lord of the cartel got killed yesterday. Yes as of right now where I am is safe, that could change at any moment so thats exciting.  Highlights:  I got to play clash royale at our friend Fernandas house, she wanted only me to teach so she gave her phone to my comp and I taught about the temples all by myself, that was pretty epic. After like 10 minutes she made me not teach and so I got to play clash, it was so great.  I got a costco card, I felt like it was a big achievement as an adult to get one so I had to share. Best idea Ive had since going on a mission😀 Posol... everyone down here says posol is like the best drink ever, to be honest its horrible. I dont even know what it is but its not good at all. Sunday on our walk to church 9 armored trucks flew by us with mounted guns and all. As a joke I said the cartel was fighting back. Later we found out they actually w...
