Bienvenidos A Oregon City

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 just going crazy this transfer. 

As Ive read the Book of Mormon in English and Spanish it was really helped my understanding and also my spanish, as you all read and pray about it,  you will find peace and make better decisions. I know that to be true and invite you to act this week and take a little time to read and pray. Buenas noches y hasta la próxima!

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.
