Dad, DL, And Moderator

Hola hola

Well this week was pretty interesting, it was my comp's last week so lots of goodbyes and logistical stuff. Our noche de fútbol was super fun and a big turn out and I can definitely say that my soccer abilities have grown. Our English class has been struggling recently but it will get better. I also have now been trained as a moderator for the mission FaceBook page that is top 3 social media missions in the world. So that's going to be fun to figure out. 

This week has been really hard to focus on the work and not on going home since my comp is and it's been lots of goodbyes and our members have been going all out and are sad too. We did some service on Saturday at this foodbank place with some members that was super fun. Went to a baptism nearby to give talks on baptism and on the Holy Ghost, and I did the baptism one and it went pretty decent I would say. The senior Spanish couple, the Walls, are so awesome and I served around them my first 4.5 months in Portland and they are just so cool and awesome.

 Monday was my companions last day of missionary work and we actually had a lot of lessons and goodbyes. It was pretty fun and busy.Then Tuesday we got transfer news... 1. I'm staying in Gresham 2. I am now a DL in place of my old comp 3. I am going to be training a new missionary.

Sooo that's going to be fun getting thrown into a lot of new responsibilities and learning how to do a lot and still doing the work needed for this area. Gonna be lots of praying but D&C 122:7-9. I know that eventually no matter what happens we can always learn and grow to be better people and more like our Savior Jesus Christ.

I testify that Christ is aware of all of us and our struggles and knows how to help us in all circumstances. Please remember to pray and read daily to really learn more about Him and find His peace and His love for you. 

Hasta luego y espero que tengan una feliz semana!

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.
