Food From 4 Countries In 1 Week! And 1 Year Mark!

Image
Hola buenas todos This week was a lil longer since pday was on a Tuesday this week due to our temple trip. But it was a miracle filled week. We found a lot and destroyed our goal for new people, but English class is always so awesome! Went on 2 exchanges, 1 planned and 1 not, led out the área with Elder Bingham and it was a good day, the other our roommate on bike hurt his back so I went on bike for the day and somehow had kinda forgotten how and almost wrecked a few times.  We had stake conference on Sunday and it was good, it was all about temples. Literally all the speakers and music was about temples. And I actually was able to go today and it was so nice to feel the Spirit there and take a break from the world. And this week, we had a Venezuelan member feed us a mountain of food, some Honduranian friends feed us some taquito type food, a member meal with a Peruvian family and lastly some Mexican white pozole that was also really good.  Had a good pday going to the temple ...

Buenas todos, saludos This week was interesting, we went crazy finding people and got 12 New peeps, but its been a fast week. DC was pretty average, lunch was good too got some mexican food from a mercado. One of the perks of being a DL is doing the Baptismal interviews, it is a awesome chance to see their growth and their faith. Moderating is still going well and not too bad lately. We had Zone Conference this last Thursday that was fire, lots of good counsel from President Botchway. He is so awesome and being in Hillsboro is closer to them so we see them more and its epic. Went on exchanges on friday with the Zls who also are spanish so that was cool. Pretty good day, sadly out noche de Fútbol was canceled due to some confusion.  Had a fire lesson with a friend from  Venezuela and a recent convert from Argentina came with us and they were just instantly friends and it was such a cool lesson. Sunday was also good, no friends came to church but we (us 6 missionaries and our wm...

Hey everyone, saludos!  Starting off the week with my last District council in Gresham, was kinda sad but all good. Had my endocrinologist appointment that went well, God is literally carrying my useless pancreas right now. But said bye to Gresham and I am now in Hillsboro. I am companions with Elder Gordon, who I trioed with 2 transfers ago for a week, opening an area. So we didn't have the PMG app working for a day ish and  have been knocking a lot. And it is crazy over here, it is just full of Hispanics. It's such a great opportunity to grow my español too, still trying to figure things out with the ward and the zone but all good.  And plus, General Conference was absolutely fuego, we watched 2/5 of the sessions in espanish and it was very spiritually edifying. And a new temple in El Paso!!!!! so exciting cant wait for that.  There was also just so many amazing talks this conference and I know that all those who spoke did so by the Spirit of God and that the...
