Hola hola. 

Qué bolá everyone (that's Cuban for whats up)

Our friend we baptized a few weeks ago hasn't been able to make it to church but he always will just text us randomly and its really funny. We did do some service for a Catholic Charity and then a member that helps those took us out to Taco Salsa which me and my comp ate the day before but it was still really good. (Mexican food)

Had some fire lessons this week with some older friends and also taught the usual English class and have been getting lots of referrals lately and they have mostly been super cool people. The others are still cool but they just kinda dodge us a lil.

But had pur weekly meal with the Belmont family and she cooks some awesome Mexican food and has a crazy testimony story, and then the usual church cleaning right after then our ward huddle. Lots of driving lately. On Saturday had a zone training at a park mid day but my allergies were not happy.

But had a meal with the Belmonts again Saturday at their home that was like 25 minutes from our area. But still fire food as usual. And was able to drive on some higher speed limit roads which was epic. But safe of course. Then I baptized our friend Maikel after church which was cool, my first person I baptized and it was scary when he stiffened his arm and barely was able to go under the water! Then talked with the mission president's wife for a lil, she's so funny.

Pretty normal Monday with DC and lessons and soccer with a member that's like 12 or something idk. Then today we had what was called King Benjamin's Tower and it was kinda just a mission wide devotional at this field where the mission president (whole name is actually benjamin) talked and we played some field games like capture the flag, etc. And ate some lunch. Just a lot of catching up with old missionary friends too and then had my endo appt and that's all the good stuff. 

I probably drove in traffic and whatnot for 3+ hours today and it was so annoying but I do enjoy being able to drive and those benefits.

I have been able to truly say "having been commissioned of Jesus Christ" this sunday and it really hit that this is His work and I'm here to help others to learn about Him and His love for everyone. Big change to help me really focus on others and how to help them and forget about myself and just do His will. And He will provide peace and strengthen us all in our trails!

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.
