Staying In OC

Image
Hola todos, qué tal? Esta semana fue muy buena, ocupada pero todo bien. Creo que las cosas mayores son un recorrido del templo, muy fuego y lleno del Espíritu Santo. Fue increíble y me encanta el templo de Portland.  Hemos tenido muchas lecciones con miembros para compartir sus testimonios y es genial que ellos quieren compartir.  We also got transfer news and I'm staying in the area with the same comp, but moving apartments. Gonna be living in Canby instead of Molalla and will be losing a super nice gym. But its fine. We are also going to be taking over the spanish sisters area as well so that will be good, lots of work to stay busy. Today we played some basketball,  then got some McDonalds for lunch. Played a lil pickleball and then got a haircut. Gonna be good, gonna go crazy doing the work. Also there is a pic of some arepas that I made (Venezuelan food)

La Pascua

Hola a todos, nada tan grande pasó esta semana, pero fue bueno. El jueves tuvimos el consejo de la zona y fue bueno,  sobre la Expiación de Cristo y todo eso. Pero el viernes tuvimos unas buenas lecciones con nuestros amigos más progresados.  Con un muchacho se llama Zhair, él es muy chevere y quiere cambiarse la vida, también con Maynor y su familia que son de Honduras y quieren ver el templo de Portland!  Pero sí, también hemos encontrado muchos amigos esta semana al tocar tantas puertas. Pero ahí vamos adelante, tristemente casi nadie vino a la iglesia ayer y fue muy asustando porque usualmente todas las personas vienen por la Pascua. Pero casi nadie vino, pero fue bonito el servicio y todo. Hoy jugamos Kickball y mi equipo ganamos y también en Ultimate Frisbee. Y comimos sopa de Birria con unos miembros y fue muy rica, y en la clase de inglés esta noche un amigo vino! Yay.  Pero sí todo bien aquí echando ganas y yo sé que con Dios nada es imposible y superaremos ...

Palm Sunday

It was a good week this week, pretty busy but also lots of spiritual experiences.  Had a good week, lots of work to do, lots of meetings as well.  Had interviews with President Botchway and they were super good, also had a training from his wife, Sister Botchway, and they brought some good food.  Had a pretty good exchange with Elder Redmond and we found good success, it was fun not being the only one speaking spanish. But we fasted on Sunday for a friend and it was good, had like 30 people come to the branch for church. Super awesome Easter concert on Sunday, it was  super good and spirit filled.  Had DC and all that on Monday since we went to the temple today. It was awesome,  super great experiences. The Portland Temple is awesome, make sure to make some time to go soon, to prepare yourselves spiritually. 

Conferencias Going Crazy

Hows it going everybody? This week was a pretty good one. This week we had a good amount of lessons and had a member meal that was pretty good, got super stuffed. But been having lessons where we call members to bear testimony and its pretty cool. Had Zone Conference was good, super fire and I got called up to share a thought without notice but it was fine. The food was ok but it was a pretty awesome zone conference about the Atonement and I realized how I need to teach it better and more.  Then General Conference was the bomb and was so awesome, literally like everyone that spoke brought up the Atonement in some form and that was awesome. Watched most of the sessions in spanish with friends but one of them in English.  So yeah pretty awesome stuff.  We just had a mission language Conference and it was cool, saw lots of missionaries I know and lots of ideas to improve my language learning. Definetely have been blessed with the Spanish speaking and all that, its been aweso...
