Buenos días a todos, espero que todo esté bien para ustedes.
Mi semana fue bien! Ocupado, pero bien.
We started this week out with another special devotional
thing. President Nelson gave a talk broadcasted from BYU and it was super good.
He went through 5 important truths. I'd highly recommend it.
On Tuesday we felt like we should text Tom & Grace to
see if we could have a lesson with them. I can't remember if I told yall about
them already, but basically they are friends with some members and will be house
sitting for them while the members leave on a mission. We met them at a
birthday parting and they are super cool. Grace is originally from Argentina
and Tom is American. They have one daughter named valentina and she is a super
smart 7 y/o. We had a short lesson with them and they really enjoyed it and
invited us back! Valentina loves to ask super deep questions, most of which
don't have answers but they are great talking points. She calls us the
"smart elders" haha it's super funny. We went back a few days
later for pizza with them and I think they like us quite a bit. Grace came to
church as well!
Wednesday and Thursday were mostly spent filming a video for
the mission. In missions where smart phones are a thing, there is a thing
called a device audit where you basically go through your companions phone and
make sure they aren't doing and dumb stuff. Recently, missionaries have been
pretty bad at doing them so we made a little video to remind them. It was
honestly super fun to make. We got E. Oxenden to be our main 'disobedient'
elder and it was super funny since he is actually like the most obedient person
ever. We were super happy with how it turned out!
We had a pizza party as a Zone to watch the new Book of
Mormon video.... it was super awesome. I hope everyone has seen it!
Someone paid for our Costa vida.... blessings...
Saturday we got a call to do some service for a lady. she
was moving from the third floor to the first floor of an apartment complex.
With 4 Elders and 5 sisters it still took us 5 hours to move everything and
clean everything. We were super wiped afterwards haha I'm still sore. Also we
got fed :)
We had two branch activities, one was burgers and night
games, the other one was a carnita asada with the boiz in the elders quorum.
Super good free food :) (do you see the theme yet haha I think I only Cooked
one meal for myself the entire week.)
Transfers are this week! Elder Jones and I are staying in
our area (thank goodness) but our whole district is changing zones to be in a
completely Spanish zone! it will be pretty sweet, Elder Harmon and Elder
Escandon are staying too so our apartment is still together.
We didn't have a ton of time to go and work in our area so I
don't really have any updates on that stuff, but our goal this week is to
finish all of our other tasks so we can work more!
les quiero mucho! Que les vaya muy bien
