Traylor, Bryce

Hola todos! Its been a pretty good week, we went looking for mexican tiendas to find and leave our English Class flyers since its a little harder to find Hispanics in this area. But we have been able to work with what we have and see some success! We had District Council and Zone Council last week and both were kinda ok, its weird not being in leadership and seeing how others lead. Super hard too sometimes, but yeah we have been doing lots of member work lately and its been great.  We had lots of friends come to church, we have the branch at 12:45pm and its far from a lot of our friends, at least 30 ish minutes so we go to an english ward close to most of them and translate and I had to translate yesterday and it was ok. Not that great at it so sometimes I would just say random stuff instead of the random stories but it went well.  We ate with this family in the English Ward and they reminder me of my own family a little, 4 kids and 1 crazy one (Brayden) jk but it was crazy lo...

Its Been quite a week, I got transfered out of Hillsboro after 6 months and got moved to Oregon City, Oregon. Its been a big change of area, its a lot smaller member wise, and work wise but its not too bad.  I'm follow up training Elder Heintz so I guess he is my second son (missionary ive trained) and my other son (Elder ValverdeCasares) is training so im a grandpa! But its been cool, lots of miracles and cool people.  Got to this area Wednesday and since then its been lots of work, had a good English Class on Friday. Lots of driving here and its a lot of pretty nature and all that so its been awesome. Church was pretty cool, had like 40 ish people come to the branch here and it was awesome. Usually its less than 20 but yeah that was cool, I also got to bless the sacrament which was fun The members over here are pretty awesome too, the missionaries in this zone not so much. They just Complain and dont really put too much effort into anything so nothing changes, but I plan on ...

It's been a pretty good, crazy week. Pretty good English Class and also good District council and all that. Book of Mormon night was kinda a bust cuz only one person came but have had quite a bit of lessons lately and tons of knocking. Not too successful knocking but lots of it.  Had zone council on Thursday that went ok, lots of the missionaries are just always compalining about their areas. But had some ok lessons and all that. I was on bike for a tiny bit while my companion went to MLC and then we got back and our Soccer night was good, my last on in Hillsboro.  I love soccer and all the people that come, they are really good. But then exchanged with some other spanish elders and I stayed in my area with Elder Glenn. It was a good day, he is such a good missionary and so pure. We had a pretty cool day until our SIM stopped working and then it worked again later and then stopped again.  But sunday I was super sick and still went to Stake Conference and it was good. Then...

It was a pretty good week, kinda super busy but yeah. We had a Noche de Hogar on Monday and it was pretty cool, we talked about temples and had 2 friends come. English class on Tuesday was also pretty good, it has been getting more and more people coming so that's cool. We had a ton of lessons on Wednesday and they all fell through but we still had our Book of Mormon night and it was really good as well. Thursday was just a pretty normal day, teaching and knocking doors and all the good stuff.  Friday was full of lessons and then Noche de Fútbol was super fun, awesome and I got soccer shoes recently so it makes it a lot better.  Saturday was pretty busy, there was a stake deacons activity and it was pretty cool, all about goals. Then we had some really good lessons that were kinda long but still good. Sunday was pretty good as well, we got some friends to come and there was some good talks and classes. Then gave the sacrament to a member that was sick and had a good member mea...

What a week,  its been kinda crazy! We have had lots of success lately and have been popping off! English Class was so awesome,  so many people showed up and it was fire, Book of Mormon night was also fire and yeah we have been teaching a lot and figuring out our members schedules to get them to lessons with us. We had a really good member meal on Friday and afterwards Fútbol was great as well. We have been able to find lots of New friends from that and also English Class. We went on Exchanges on Saturday,  I went to a bike area and it was wild. Not because of bike,  it was super fun and sunny but because I went on a doble exchange and went into the other Spanish elders area because on of them was sick. So I switches back and forth between bike and Spanish.  Sunday was even better, we had 5 friends come to church and they are getting to know the members pretty well. Then we had SPC as well and that was pretty productive and informative. Then ate dinner with a me...
