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 then nothing and now he's close again. We got quite a change in our zone, 2 new roommates and around 8 or 9 new peeps in the zone. It's going to be an experience to say the least with the new roommies. 

  
    There's a ton of really old cars that are pretty kept up here in my area at least but probably just portland in general. It's pretty cool. 


      And I started the BofM again and am maybe going to try to finish by the end of the transfer(6weeks) but idk im a little behind my plan. But my favorite parts of the the BofM is when the righteous/prophets rebuke and completely roast people so simply and powerfully. 

    
   Had 0 friends at church this Sunday and almost had to translate for the few Spanish group members that came. But didn't have to luckily. Gave a tiny little baby girl a blessing en Español and made it though the blessing. Costco lunch is such a good deal, literally had a huge pizza slice and a 20oz drink for less than 3 bucks. Awesome. 


    Also in a new district but same zone and the señor missionaries are so fuego and awesome and spanish so they work with us and another compship. But they talk a lot a lot but are very spiritually powerful. And they bake some amazing stuff for us too.


 It's going to be an interesting transfer but nothing I won't be able to handle. Probably hopefully jkjk. But leading out isn't as difficult as I thought, unless I'm just doing it wrong cuz I have no idea what im doing

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.
