November 12, 2013Hello,
I'm being transferred. The area is called Allende and it's
supposed to be the industrial center of this same city of Coatzacoalcos.
It's in the same stake I'm in now, but a different zone. And, even
though they still haven't published the transfer details and we don't
know for sure, it looks like my zone leader will be the former companion
of my current companion with my future companion being my past zone
leader. Kind of odd, no? But maybe they're just missionaries with the
same last names. We're kind of waiting for them to send us the transfer
schedule which has all of that information on it. It was a good week,
though. It hasn't been too hot, and we had lots of success with
investigators this week. In fact, we've got baptisms planned for every
week of the next month. Too bad I won't be able to see any of them. Oh,
well. I hope you all have a great week.
Love,
Elder Bryan Hall

November 4, 2013Hello,
It's been a crazy week. My companion is a physical wreck (the
results of many avoidable sports injuries) and on Wednesday he
destroyed his ankle stepping off a sidewalk. So we spent a lot of this
week in our house on doctor's orders. Now he's somewhat better, but
still has an ankle that looks like an orange. A Mexican orange, because
the oranges in Mexico are green, but an orange all the same. We had lots
of investigators at church this Sunday (most of them were old people
visiting their children who live here, but they're still investigators),
so we're feeling pretty happy about everything, but it is frustrating
to be stuck inside. Halloween was a failure. We actually got one group
of trick-or-treaters, but we didn't have candy for them. The woman
escorting the kids tried to give us jobs as English teachers at the high
school where she works, but we resisted. It was hard because she asked
us in English. There were more trick-or-treaters out on the first and
second of November than on Halloween, which I thought was interesting.
The first of November was the Day of the Dead, so our mission president
told us to go to the cemetaries to contact people. It actually didn't
work out that way because nobody wanted us, but it was pretty cool to
see the people and everything. Yes, we had another week.
Love,
