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

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 and then got flu shots and chilled. Played some soccer with some kids in the church gym and a lil pickleball and basketball. Called the fam a bit a lil piano was played. But pretty chill cool week. Go to the temple if you can, it is a great opportunity to feel the Spirit and grow your faith. 

Have an awesome week!

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.
