Hola a todos Today is pday cuz of the temple trip today so yeah, it was good.  Portland Oregon Temple is so cool. Nothing crazy this last week except interviews with President Botchway on Tuesday were good. Got some good advice and things to study and all that.  Had exchanges and finally left OC for the first time in 4 months and it was good, I was with Elder Redmond who goes home in a week. I served around him at the beginning of my mission and so it was cool and I stayed the night at my first apt in the mission too.  It was such a good day and exactly what I needed to bounce back and lock in for the last 3 months I have here. One of our most progressing friends dropped us too for literally her own fault but anyways that sucked. But yeah, pretty slow lately which has been hard but yeah.

Hola a todos.  This was a long week cuz of the 4th of July they moved our pday to today so we went 1.5 weeks inbetween pdays but it has finally arrived.  We were told about this guy who was stranded on the side of the road right at the edge of our area and hadn't eaten for 2 days. We didn't know what to really do, so eventually ended up talking with him and brought him some KFC and then went back each day while he waited for a part to fix his car and brought food so he wouldnt be hungry. It was pretty cool getting to know him and to be able to help too. Went to a cultural activity for the community in Canby where we live and got some free lunch (carne asada) and it was good and talked to lots of Hispanics too. Not too many of the Branch members were at church this week cuz they were sick and/or busy but yeah.  Nothing crazy has happened really, its been quite the same as always except for Tuesday was good, had some lessons and they went super good. We talked to this kid a...

Live And Learn

Hola todos It's been a week to say the least, pretty slow and not too much getting done. Its been a little harder to find and have the willpower to keep trying even when it doesnt work. But yeah you live and learn We have been getting fed quite well this last week and so that has been awesome. Not much has been happening honestly, just no one answering and if they do they are "too busy" or not interested. But we did have a Carne Asada celebration for Fathers day on friday that was good.  Other than that, just had zone council that was aight on Saturday and the church yesterday was good, had some people come that havent for a while and ate dinner with the Branch President and his wife and they are so awesome. But yeah just pushing forward hoping for changes soon and to be able to work hard.  Anyways have a great week everyone and keep your head up, God has a plan

Sent From God

Hola a todos It was a pretty aight week,  got my New comp, name is Elder Soriano, its his 3rd transfer and yeah. He already speaks espanish cuz his Parents are from Guatemala and they mostly Speak spanish. But yeah we have had lots of Teaching opportunities so that has been nice. We went to stop by this one lady and it was perfectly timed, a lot of things in her life were falling down on top of her and she said she felt all the wieght falling down and in that instant we walked up and started talking to her. We were able to talk with her about peace that comes from Christ and prayed and she recognized that God had sent us at the very moment she needed it. So that was cool, other than that everything has been chill, my wrist is a lot better and I can Use it and it doesnt  hurt. That's been nice. Were have been active today pickleball and volleyball and all that. 

Transfers....

It's been a crazy week this week, im in a wrist brace now instead of an arm splint so that is good, its been getting better quickly and ive been able to do more. This weekend my companions family came to baptize his younger sister here and it was good.  Made me realize how much I miss my fam and I cant wait to see them but also makes me want to work as hard as I can until then. So it was kinda hard not to just be thinking about them seeing him with his family but sunday was super Spiritual and boosted me up a bit.  Nothing too crazy has happened this week other than that, just lots of people not answer because they are scared we are inmigration people,  which sucks.  But yeah its just been normal. Got transfer news this morning and I'm staying but getting a new comp so that is a good change. Ate at a Brazilian Steak House for lunch with the older Spanish elders and it was amazing, so fun seeing all of them, and now we all start going home. Each transfer one of us 7 g...
