Poco A Poco

      Had Zone Conference this last wednesday at an old/abandoned but dedicated church building that looks like a castle and it was fuego. Also received another supply drop from my mom which was great. I was running low on snacks but we are all stocked up now.         I have actually gotten a lot better at basketball I'd say but I mean after playing pretty much every day for 3 months (except sundays) You can't not be better. But anytime that I don't get into my bed by exactly 10:30pm and get out of bed/roll out at least at 6:30am, I feel so much more tired and I have much less energy. It's cool to see the blessings of obedience. But I mean it is pretty difficult sometimes to get there and do everything, but God provides a way.         If you dont hear sirens everyday then something is probably up. Jk but idk of a day when I haven't heard a bunch of sirens by our apartment. I've been eating out a lot more this transfer too since...

Another "Normal" Week In The "Normal" City Of Portland

¿Qué tal todo?       Helped some fam move last tuesday which sucked cuz they weren't ready and there was just a mess. He also backed his uhaul truck(the biggest one you can get) into a parked challenger but there was like 0 damage and he just kept trying to park it. Stayed for an hour and then had to leave but we got the heavy stuff in. Then played some gatorball which got quite competitive towards the end and I got smacked in the face with the ball.              Wednesday we had a zone council and during that did a zone blitz surprise exchange to go tracking for 45 minutes but the elder I was with didn't have a Sim and neither did I so we had no clue where we were supposed to go so we just drove randomly to knock some places. Not very successful or productive but pretty fun.          Then had some fire lessons later that day that weren't planned, cuz our planned ones canceled but were replaced. My comp is p...

When In Portland...

Rolled my ankle at morning b ball and limped the rest of the day/week. Also had tres fuego lecciones el miercoles y fue un buen dia.       Got transfer news this Thursday and I'm staying. But my comp/trainer is leaving and training and whitewashing again and also going to am English area on bike and this will be the 5th missionary he will have trained in over 9+ months. Which sucks. He's also pretty upset about it because he doesn't like training. So that's not great but Mish pres knows best. But I will be leading out for the first time ever which is kinda scary but should be good, hopefully. I just have no idea what im doing or what all im supposed to do.        He's name is Elder Bishop. And I've heard mixed things about people who have lived or served with him. He's pretty cool tho and he's cracked at piano and music in general. He has 2 transfers left and one of our guys we are teaching he taught 18 months ago. Which is sick cuz he was on date...

Un Ciudad Que Está Muy Loco (It's Portland)

Portland weather is stupid, it rains, snowy then is sunny within like 10 minutes. Snowed a couple times this week and rained a ton too but also had a few days with a bit of sun.  Went on exchanges with one of my roommates and it was quite an experience in a few words but I bought lots of food that day. My comp is on a diet for his last 6 months and I'm doing the literal opposite, as in a snack only diet, and meals of course but extra snackies. This next Thursday is the end of transfers too so that's exciting.  Had 2 peeps at church today and a lot of our Spanish group was there too which was great and then had some really really good dinner since I fasted. Which was it's own miracle since God is good and kept my blood sugar good til my dexcom gave out two days early. I guess it was worth it tho. I got to fast both meals and Satan got my dexcom, but I have more so jokes on him. L. Have had to drop a bit of people but also have had some fire peeps progressing. And I finished ...
