Lock Your Doors

Hola hola todos qué pasando


Got another supply drop this week from my mom which was very not needed but very wanted. It's been kinda a rough week/month but not all bad. 


The other day had a mentor sesh and the weekly goal is literally to pretend to want to talk to people. All of ya'll should know that I don't really like talking to peeps and am pretty reserved. But that's the goal and right after found 2 new peeps and taught them. It was pretty much the first lesson I've actively participated in more than half the lesson ish. 


      Read a little kid a really wierd Book about some cows or something the other day. Tensions are getting kinda high in our apartments with the other companionship and mine too, I kinda just try to do other things on my own like read the BofM or get my Duolingo xp in. It kinda sucks a lot some days but there are tons of tender mercies. 
    Got some new shoes and a new tie too that are pretty nice. Attended a baptism for an friend of the english elders in our ward. Almost done with the BofM and its been less than 1 transfer (6 weeks) so that's been pretty cool. The wind has been crazy here too and I actually hate the wind so much. 


   Pizza Friday at Costco was pretty good. My lunch Costco like 5 bucks. Had a friend pull up to church which was great since the past 2 weeks we had 0. Almost met our goal of 9 new people this week but got 8 so really good week.
    But Sunday night the other elders in the apartment called us and said that someone was in the apartment. And so we came over as some homeless lady was in their spare room sleeping after having taken their clothes. Refused to leave when we politely and so we called the cops. We even offered water and gave her food and saw her earlier and gave her food and stuff then too. She tried to take the Elders clothes and claimed they were hers but it was crazy. Cops were really nice to us and made sure to tell us that our area is actually super duper sketchy and there's a ton of homeless peeps super close by and yeah. 


Went to this sketchy/haunted old church building and drank martinellis for p-eve yesterday(with permission from the ZLs). There was about 10 of us there total and the Elders who are always there (since it's in their area and they use it for their ward stuff somwtimes) gave a tour and there's a baby doll that literally had been in an unreachable place that was suddenly in a window seal. Super weird and sketchy but it was fun. 


Played basketball against another zone this morning and it went OK. Played for less than like 30 minutes out of 3 hrs but then got lunch at Costco for under 5 bucks. Playing soccer later today as a zone which should be fun.

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.
