Bye Bye Gresham

Image
Hola todos we recieved transfer news and I am leaving, they didnt say where or with who sadly so that's unfortunate. But I will be leaving Gresham after 6 months, kinda sad but all good.  It was a good week though, we had Zone Conference with Elder Johnson of the 70 and it was super good. Then the DLs were invited to MLC and it was good, lots of good info. Lots of spirit as well and lots of growth. Pretty tired but we played some volleyball with our members for a bday party and it was fun. My comp gave a talk at church this Sunday and we have a lot of our recent converts come as well. It was a good day and I did a Baptismal interview and gave a few blessings in my stewardship. And ate some fire food with the Gadea fam and had lots of meeting lately. Played bball today and packed a lil. Did some zone "games" and whatnot for a bit then a lesson and more meetings. But pretty good week and only more to come.

Una Semana Normal

Hola todos! Pretty average week, DC was good and got some bloodwork done right after. Lots of driving and meeting along with lots of moderating on the Facebook page. Went to Institute and there was a Spanish class on the Restoration that was good, then had exchanges with my district. I left the área and was with Elder Alvey(trainee) and had a pretty average day, then taught English Class and per usual moderated. On friday we helped our ward set up for an event for el día de hispanidad or something like that. It was super cool and we had a good time. Pretty cool seeing lots of the different cultures and eating their food too. Sunday was pretty average, ate with our bishop and His family and talked with our recent convert Rodilin who is kinda sad and lonely right now, but he is so cool. Pday was a lil more slow and we shopped, cleaned and me and my comp made quesadillas for a bunch of the zone. Then went to a mercado which was good.  Pretty normal week, very tired but it can only get...

ELDER GONG

Pretty normal week this week, except for as you might have guessed, I got to meet Elder Gong and shake his hand. Pretty awesome. Had a pretty full week of meeting and whatnot but all good. Had a training from Sister Botchway and it was pretty good, she is so funny. Went on exchanges and we did a Zone testimony meeting and then Blitz that was pretty cool. I led out on the exchanges and also taught English Class which was pretty ok.   On Saturday we had a missionary devotional with Elder Gong, and 2 área 70s and also the entire mission. It was good, and then had a cool lesson with a Romanian family. Sunday was Stake Conference and that's why Elder Gong came so saw him again and we were put in charge of the translation. But thankfully I didnt have to translate, my comp did but it was a good packed meeting. Then had a 2 hour lunch with some members and it was good but way too long, then later that night had another 2 hour member meals sadly. It was good food but I was on a zoom me...

Buenas todos, saludos. Pretty good week, one of the APs came to my DC so that was fun, and not stressful at all. But its been pretty average days lately. We did get to have our interviews with President Botchway which were really good and helpful. He is so awesome and Sister Botchway is so funny. But also went on exchanges with the ZLs greenie that was good. All the zone is training pretty much so  we can only be in exchanges with other trainies since they cant drive. But its all good, pretty interesting bunch of missionaries, jk they are good. Pretty fun sunday, not many peeps at church but a member brought us food and we ate and then later our recent convert made us some really good ceviche. Then later as we were visiting an inactive family, they fed us some more food that was good. All within 6 hours and it was a lot of food. Today was good, the usual basketball and then shopping as well. Watched the Broadcast for President Nelsons 100th bday was a zone. It was awesome, love tha...

Hola todos, this last fridat I hit my 10 month mark Pretty usual week, we had lots of canceled lessons and whatnot but mostly good lessons. Nothing too crazy lately. Had good noche de Hogar and also noche de Fútbol and definetly am Becoming better at soccer. English class was filled but I didnt end up Teaching and it kinda went quite downhill and not very productive but it was fine. Pretty cool activity on Saturday, sadly didnt get many pics but we had an open house. We invited at least 40+ people and 1 showed up... but the ward went all out and decorated so awesomely. Also some sisters drew that Christus in a week which was epic. Then fast and testimony meeting was good, lots of testimonies were shared which was awesome, but sadly our second hour class was about tithing for the 3rd time in a row due to some miscommunication. But it was good, then had the usual sunday. I also have been moderating like crazy lately everyday and 4 days of the week its for 2 hrs. Pday was good, went on a ...
