Week 3

The days don't feel like days and the weeks dont feel like weeks. Its so confusinv. But I've been muy cansado lately but also feeling el espiritu santu so much. Last day of classes in English was Thursday and now they are all only in Spanish. So that was interesting but not too bad actually. 


Missionaries go insane their last night and give away a ton of snacks and stay up late. It's fun though. Stayed up late Thursday night preparing for our new missionary and talked to some missionary that was apparently a multi millionaire with 48 bitcoin or something but who knows. 


Started all Spanish classes Friday and I honestly understood almost everything but it's much harder to speak for me than to understand. Had to post on Facebook in Spanish as many of you guys might have seen. Pero es muy fácil con notas. "Pumped some iron" as us Élders say(worked out) también. 


On Friday night our new temporary compañero arrived at 1 in the morning. Took him arround and got his phone,etc and yeah then had normal classes Saturday. Sacrament meeting was good. My legs started cramping from sitting down all day but lots of spiritual experiences. 


Studied faith and gained a deeper knowledge of the importance of faith in our lives and to our salvation. My room is stacked with snacks and our dorm gets crazy sometimes but it's fine. 


There was a fun situation with the Elders on our floor because of a haircut but it's fine. Had an amazing experience with the Elders in my room last night though. The spirit was so strong. 


At the end of the day this week it's very hard to speak English since I have 7 hours in classes a day only speaking and hearing Spanish. Had a devotional with Elder Daines and his wife that was really good and had a spiritual review with the district.


Went to the temple today and did an  endowment session in the morning and then did laundry. Pretty chill day and a half way point in my mtc time. So that's exciting and I can't wait to leave the mtc and just get into the field.

Im So Dead, But God Is Good

Hola Had a doc appt that we were a lil late to but it was still fine, then spent almost 2 hours in traffic and then had a mission wide zoom call that was good. Then the next day spent 4+ hours at a Firestone to get the tires on our car fixed, but did leave and get lunch at a Hawaiian restaurant that was really good. And some random peeps there paid for us which was cool. Also had dinner with the Constans which was fun later that day (Wednesday)         On Monday, April 1st, an elder thought it would be funny to shove flowers in my face to smell them at chick fil a, and then I kept sneezing all day and for the rest of the week. But each day something added on. First day after that my nose was runny, second my throat, then on Thursday I developed a fever at the end of the day. Had a really great day that day but i was just so dead to feel it.         Had zone training and interviews and 3 lessons and a couple good contacts. But got home early a...

4th Of Julio

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...

Time Is So Weird But Probably Like The 3rd Week Here In Portland

Image
  More buñuelos from our amazing friends we taught and they are just so great and I'm hoping we can get them to church and then into the water next. Also went bowling which is kinda a weekly pday tradition now and I was doing really good. Sadly we ran out of time and couldn't finish the second game, but it was so fun.      The Alameda ward here is really weird. They are all old. No youth except for one deacon and the Spanish group of the ward is like 8-10 people which sucks. But it is what it is and there's a lot of work to do.    Cleaned the church saturday and there was literally 5 of us total pero esa limpieza era bueno porque después comemos Rosca de Reyes which was so good with some fire Hot chocolate.     I'm getting pretty decent at basketball since we play literally everyday except Sundays for our workouts among other things.      I just finished the BofM yesterday which I started at the beginning of at home MTC.
