No Más Hielo Y Más BUÑUELOS

   Day 5 of not being able to drive so we were stuck inside all day from Saturday to Wednesday. Took a few trips(walked)to the gas station down the street. Played risk one of the days and won. The days are blurred together and I was so restless everyday.
     Freedom at last, we were finally able to drive on Thursday and we went to the store and the roads were pretty clear but the sidewalks and stuff were real slick still. May have had to catch/drag my comp up slicker parts and I almost died at least 20 times.
  

  Had a really good lesson with the family that keeps giving us buñuelos and they also gave us eggs which was random and some banana bread from his work. It was great and they are awesome. Then hit a contact that made us eat some really good tacos and we taught a little bout the restoration stuff. 
   Didn't do much the next day but we at least were able to be out trying to knock doors instead of being stuck inside all day.  It's been a very boring and difficult week this week but it's had quite a few highs too. On Thursday night there was these crazy lights going off and it looked kinda like lightning but it was green and then orangish then blue and it was crazy. 


    It started to rain again, which means the ice will melt. Sadly my shoes have a tiny hole/rip and my socks have been getting soaked but less slipping. Then had the last zone council this transfer on Saturday and it was pretty good and got another supply drop from my mom.
    This sunday our ward got canceled but it's not even icy but then our backup ward we were going to go to with out friends also got canceled because the building had flooded. So we were able to get permission to go to another ward with our friends but we didn't have any show up. But we still went to the other sacrament meeting and it was good. Had 2 really fire lessons back to back sunday night. Really spirit filled and also I participated in Spanish which I usually don't participate much but I said better personalized prayer for them and promised blessings. 


  It's felt so good afterwards even though my spanish is really bad/broken but they get the general idea and hopefully the spirit tells them what I'm really saying. It's been raining for like 2 days straight now and thankfully the ice is gone and it is now safe to walk normally. 
    3 days til transfers so we will see what happens then too, can't wait. Apparently my spanish is good but it's also not. Understanding is great and thinking Spanish is going super well and I understand almost everything. But speaking it is so bad especially with my bad accent but somehow the spirit helps them understand what I'm saying...hopefully.


Also got a new high score for the eco thingy in the car. And got soaked walking around yesterday in the rain, its been raining since it stopped snowing like last monday. But went to the temple today, it's such a beautiful temple. Also Sister Dean's last few days of the Mish so there's going to be a bunch of games and stuff. But also definetly going bowling. 


Te quiero ustedes mucho y espero que tengan una buena semana. Disfrutan los fotos, adios

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.
