Que pachochito cuate!
I hope its been an amazing week and that you’ve felt so spiritually uplifted from General Conference! Wow, what a fantastic weekend full of great messages!
I hope you have been doing so well. My motivation and time to write today is low, so here comes a quick recap of the week!
🌇
– Went on exchanges with Alameda Norte and I got to go back with my superstar ex-companion Elder Marx!! He is such an elite missionary and such a hard worker so it was so much fun. I loved getting to reconnect with him and invite so many people to watch Sacrament Meeting, I am so impressed with him! I learned a lot from his example and we had a great day. Elder Marx the goat
– Saturday was a fantastic day! We started the day off with a pancake, bacon, and hash browns breakfast with the Bradys, watched the first session of General Conference, had our office meeting while eating homemade cinammon rolls (!!) and then Elder Ruggieri and I went to the airport to pick up Elder Shumway who made it back to the CDMX NW! We waited a longgg time for him to come through customs but ate some Burger King and chatted with travelers who assumed from the white shirts and ties that we worked at the airport and had any idea how it worked. Hopefully we didn’t send anyone too far astray! The Bradys then took us three to go eat at Toks and we had a great time, then dropped him off at his new area! He is a super excited and great kid and I am excited to see him tear it up out there! It was such a good day!
– We had the Zone Conferences this week on Thursday and Friday and they went so well. We messed up a couple rotations, so we ended up giving a couple more trainings than planned, on different chapters that we planned, but we pulled of some great improv and the whole day went well!! The Secretaries ordered a catering company that made delicious chilaquiles instead of the previous GI inducing tacos. It was a ton of fun and I learned so much from the Bradys and from other missionaries!
– Last Monday after P-Day we went and walked around another complained about area for being dangerous, and brought two broken phones with the hopes we would get robbed. We did not get robbed but we did have lots of fun exploring a new area and contacted some cool people! Finished it off wjth pambazos and had a great day rather than a scary or dangerous day. Send me there instead President 🙋♂️

General Conference was so so soooo good. I haven’t gotten to watch the Saturday Afternoon session yet but I absolutely loved the stuff that I did see!
It’s so hard to choose something particular that stuck out to me, because sooo much stuff stuck out to me. But, although these aren’t exact quotes, here are some principles I loved!
Sister Emily Belle Freeman:
A best day can also be worst day, and vice versa. Joy in life doesnt come from the absence of sorrow, but comes from the presence of Jesus.
Elder D. Todd Christopherson:
Christlike character comes from first having a Christlike heart. Faith and repentance brings the mighty change of heart taught by example in the Book of Mormon.
Mannnn that is some good stuff that I plan and hope to apply soon. I have sooo much to improve and change and develop in my life, but I am so grateful for the joy and direction and peace that the Lord offers us through the words of His servants every 6 months!
Jesus Christ is the resurrected and living Savior of the world and Son of God. He is the light and the life and the only true way. He is my best friend and the example which I try to follow and want so badly to emulate.
Go study the talks you heard during General Conference! I love you all so much! Have an amazing week and go change lives!
I love you!
Elder Crockett ❤️
