2nd Transfer In The Mish

Hola everyone how's it going? 


     As I said last email, there was some bowling, some epic bowling. Got two lanes in a special part of the alley and I bowled a 164 and a 159. It was insane and so fun. Been playing lots of pickleball lately too which has been fun. Got to call the fam twice this week since it was Brody and Allison's b-day which was super great. 
      Got transfer news Thursday...nothing changed for me and my comp but one of our roommates got transferred. Have had a ton of great lessons with our friends with an señor couple here and they are so great. Also found a street here that is my name which was cool so obviously had to take a pic with it. 

 
     It has pretty much been raining 24/7 the past few days but it varies a lot between pouring rain and a thousand tiny droplets. Been grinding the Duolingo app and am now in the highest league posible in the app. The Diamond league but it honestly isn't helping as much as I use it. The situations and contacts we have with native Spanish people help me but then i completely forget right after. 
     Finally was able to go to our church since they didn't cancel it this week. Gave another intermediate message at a baptism which has been my 3rd time doing so in the transfer I've been here and now stating this 2nd transfer off with one too. 


   This last week we had a really good lesson with our friend Darwin and he came to church and he's doing great. Sunday was great too, we gave the intermediate message at another baptism and some of the same members at the first one I gave my first week in Portland. 
   And they said my spanish has improved a lot. Which I agree with but it was conjugations I struggled with and now it's the structure and Grammer stuff. But we are getting there. 


    Portland is not as crazy as I thought it would be. Most of the time. But it's been less cloudy and kinda sunny actually which has been really nice. Played some basketball and got a haircut. And will be going bowling later so that'll be fun


Some elders got transferred in the zone so we said by and took pics and stuff which is what those pics are.

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.
