http://elderreillygillingwater.blogspot.com/2015/07/finally-getting-back-to-work.html
Sunday, July 5, 2015. Finally Getting Back to Work. After about 3 days of being in house again, we started to get back to work poco a poco. My companion would walk slow, with his laundry bag held over his head to block the sun from his face, and he almost got more double takes than I normally do! We had the multi-zone conference with the 3 zones in Tuxtla! Tuxtla Mexico, Tuxtla Grijalva, and Tuxtla Mactumatza, which is the zone Melanie and I are in right now. There are 2 that do it all day long and then ...

Sunday, July 26, 2015. Our Hard Work Paid Off! Well this week has been pretty great. Although we didn’t see much success until the end of the week, we had some good experiences and our hard work paid off! We started out with doing divisions on Wednesday. My companion for 24 hours was Elder Ipabari who was born in Brazil but lives in Bolivia. He had to learn Spanish on the mission also and only has 10 months speaking it. We worked in his area and had a really good time! The next morning we woke up at 5:30...

Sunday, May 31, 2015. Going to Miss Tonala! Going to miss the members in Tonala! Well this has been a really weird week. It felt really slow but at the same time really fast because it was the last week of the Transfer! We ended up going to Puerto Arista 3 times last week so we could teach a new Investigator names Sarahi. Her family are members of the church and they have a restaurant called the Sotavento. Let me just say that THE BEST FISH I HAVE EVER EATEN! During these last couple weeks everyone has b...

Monday, March 23, 2015. Week of Possibly a Miracle! 03/23/2015 - Week #15. This week we had scheduled 2 baptisms for Saturday but one of our Investigators decided he would rather keep listening to the Jehovas witnesses then be baptized in our church. He is the 11 year old brother of our other Investigator who had a baptismal date for Saturday also. 5 Fun Moments of the Week:. 2 The Baptism of Lizandro. 3 Normas de Excellencia.

Monday, December 29, 2014. El CCM: P-Day Number 2! 12/23/2014 - Week #2. Well this is technically our third week in the MTC but we wont start the actual third week until tomorrow. Thursday is Christmas and they have a ton of special devotionals planned for us that day so they moved our P-day to today. I was kind of bummed because I knew most of you would probably not be emailing me until Thursday but I am really happy with how many I. I am getting a lot better about not being homesick and. 4 The training...

Monday, February 23, 2015. Shaking Hands with Lamanites. 02/23/2015 - Week #11. First off I want to explain the title of this message. The answer is yes. I actually shook hands with 2 Lamanite women on Friday! The next really awesome thing is we have a baptism this Friday of a young investigator who has been taking lessons for almost 10 months. He probably is better at teaching the missionary lessons than I am but he never committed to baptism until last week! PARTY haha just kidding, we don't. 4 Frapoz...

Elder Reilly Gillingwater : Invasion of the Rats!
http://elderreillygillingwater.blogspot.com/2015/08/invasion-of-rats.html
Sunday, August 16, 2015. Invasion of the Rats! Well a lot has happened this week so I may just have to go day by day! Monday, after I finished writing Elder McDonald and I went and got a root beer right next to this cyber cafe and did some service. We were cutting logs into lengths and then using a hammer and chisels to split the bigger ones. Grandpa they were cut poorly so they don’t stand by themselves; so we didn’t have much luck splitting with the axe. Good to see old friends. 30 minutes later it was...

Elder Reilly Gillingwater : Opening a New Area and We Have a Couch!
http://elderreillygillingwater.blogspot.com/2015/07/opening-new-area-and-we-have-couch.html
Sunday, July 19, 2015. Opening a New Area and We Have a Couch! Well I have some good news and some bad news. My new area is in fact in my last zone and I am sharing a branch with the zone leaders. Some more good news is my house is about 100 times better than the last one I had! The semi bad news, but also cool news, is that I am opening another area and its just as difficult as it was last time. Elder McDonald wants me to tell everyone that he is very handsome, has really pretty eyes and really big arms.

Tuesday, January 27, 2015. 01/26/2014 - Week # 7. First off I want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY KALEY! I have eaten tons of fish and tons of great food, but only eaten beans 2 times haha its not at all what I expected. I have also had Octopus twice which was weird but it tastes pretty good. We have also had hamburgers and pizza! The standard to get one baptism a week is 140 so hopefully we have some good stuff lined up for us! We have already found a bunch of new investigators too! Right now the only problem is...
