Baptism Week

Pretty crazy week this week but all good and finished off strong with a Baptism! 

Pretty chill start to the week on monday and Tuesday. Wednesday we had Zone Conference and it was fire, probably one of the more spirit strong Conference for me honestly. It was awesome then just a few lessons that day and Book of Mormon night which was also pretty good. 

Thursday is when it started to get a lil crazy, so our roommate got sick so we went on a half day exchange and I took his New missionary into Spanish for the day and we had some fire lessons and lots of work, then the next day had Zone council and did a half day exchange with the ZLs. That was also good, good lessons and Keiver passed his Baptismal interview and we played soccer. (Me in my church clothes cuz we didn't have time to change)

Then saturday hit another half day exchange with our roommates and I stayed and worked on the Baptismal program. It was fine, then switches back and went to pur ward Thanksgiving dinner and it was awesome. Lots of good food and friends came and it was an awesome time, and afterwards printed off the program.

Then sunday came and church was good, Keiver came all alone, his family didnt show up. Then we had a lot of studies to do and setting up for Keivers Baptism later that day. And when it came, hardly any members pulled up which was sad and his family also didnt pull up but it was good. Lots of improvisations due to our speakers not showing up but then he just hung out with us for like 40 minutes while the font drained and recorded me playing the piano. It was awesome tho.

Then his a 1 hr exchange with the roommates again and I went with the sick roommate in spanish and it was fun. Lots of sun this week which is a miracle for it being this time of year up in Oregon, so that is also awesome. But yeah that's about it here, I hope yall have a great week and enjoy Thanksgiving this coming Thursday.

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

  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.
