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

  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. Read the BofM in 2 transfers(3 months). Highly recommend reading the entire BofM all the way through and having a bookmark with different things your marking. It has already helped me in so many different ways reading again and praying about it is just so powerful.


    Had quite a few fire lessons so hopefully we can keep in contact with them and not get ignored. But also had some "octopus" spaghetti which was really good. It was just sausage with noodles put into the ends so it looks like octopi. 


    Had quite a few member lessons too which are very helpful for teaching our friends but its hard getting the people there cuz no one confirms. So I'd recommend ya'll go with the missionaries for lessons, its really a blessing for us. Gave another intermediate message at a baptism en Español and I think it went pretty good. 


    I think my spanish is really good...in my head and thoughts but then when i start talking, es no bueno. But I think its getting better since my trainer keeps making me talk to strangers. Went on random exchanges with one of the ZLs yesterday and it was pretty cool, they are in a Tongan/Chuukese area but it was really chill and literally didn't have anyone answer. But it was fun.


   I'll share a new scripture I found as I was reading the BofM these past couple months. It's Ether 12, not 27 but 4 which is kinda random and you don't think much of it but it's a fire verse about faith and hope and how we can and will be steadfast if we have these things and as we have these things we will have charity(Moroni 7:42-47). I could ramble forever about this verses they're so good. Just read the whole BofM at this point. Love ya'll.


I don't take too many pics but i did get some caught lackin pics of my comp during different studies. Enjoy

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...
